Inside a LAN, Venom Cannon is the better buy.

I find that Tyranofexen do best with a Thorax Hive, and Acid Spray. I also toss in Adrenal Glands, all that runs 200. So you'd still save 5 points per.

To my eye, it looks short on Synapse, and short on Troops (though two Big Mommas do help with that.

) the main weakness I see is no source of Shrouding, so I'd suggest looking at that first.

I'd also toss Thorax Hives on both Big Mommas (Electro-bugs) to help with AVs.
