Rover lacks alpha, hp or anti-mobility options making it especially poor at unit killing without taking losses. The factory is kinda schizo in that in favors either extremely open low density situations or porc fights. It works better as support factory than anything and I don't like it as solo factory in any lane.

1. Ravager strategy is based on assault, which depends on opponent force disposition and require a reclaim strategy to keep strength, a tricky problem for fast forces without survivable builder relative to other assault comps like tanks or cloaked puppies, I think it is harder to pull off than most build concepts, and ravager take specific micro to make up for its poor projectile tracking. For anything less than multi-rank deep assault columns, halberd is likely better. With new rank moves, I wonder if mixed fast assault could work (halberd ravager blitz...maybe even mix in limpet and back rank scorcher) This will take some labbing and experimenting...

Badger's
main
value
is
counter
cloak,
and
probably
one
of
the
better
means
to
win
cloak-vision
wars.
Use
"fire
towards"
enemy
plus
micro
to
keep
a
screen
of
mines
to
mess
up
cloaky
bomb/riot/spotters.
The
shortish
range,
no
alpha
and
low
dps
density
(
badger
is
quite
big
for
its
dps)
means
massing
enough
to
kill
is
asking
for
big
AoE
losses
and
generally
a
bad
idea
unless
opponent
have
neither
AoE
or
effective
range
fire.

Shielded badger (with riot cover) can be survivable, but it means even less killing power and would probably get pushed back by tanky/arty heavy comps. At least you are safer from snitch/imp, so maybe it can be added to shieldball as alternative to outlaws.

3. Impaler is a great unit to have 1 in every "lane" if microed, and building up to 5 per area is okay as you can start alpha-ing harder defenses and reclaiming coms, but it is better to spread out to more of the map. Going beyond only make sense against heavy porc (cerb, silo, gauss forest) and/or shield unless one have a immobilization strategy in place: widow, placeholder, shockley and so on. Time to fact switch if one is going beyond that imo.
