Where replays are stored
The BAR website hosts every public match replay. Go to the replays section and search by player name or date range. For local files, open the install directory through the launcher and find data slashes demos on Windows, or just demos on Linux. Each file carries the sdfz extension.
To share a replay, either link the website entry or send the sdfz file directly. Both methods let the recipient view the match in their game client.
Learning Legion specifically
Legion operates with different unit sets and economic rhythms than standard BAR factions. Players who want to learn Legion should study Legion-specific replays rather than trying to adapt standard strategies. Faction-specific build orders and engagement timing differ enough that general guides produce mixed results.
Engagement positioning fundamentals
When losing direct fights despite equal economy, the issue is usually engagement geometry. Kiting keeps your advantage units at maximum range. Retreating under light laser tower protection forces opponents to tower-fire while your units stay safe. Head-on attacks favor whoever has slightly better positioning, not necessarily more metal.
| Question | Check |
|---|---|
| Are you using commander healing? | Keep infrastructure near the fight |
| Attacking head on? | Try flanking with fast units |
| Hitting their econ? | Target extractors to force response |
Creed of champions closing
Faction mastery benefits enormously from teammates who understand your specific units. Creed runs mixed-faction training so you practice both playing against and supporting every faction type.
