The idea behind this builder was from my friend who is stuggling to get into island defense. The crab builder is very simple with only 4 buildings and 3 researches. His workers take up 2xw spacing to stop seeding as this not only confuses new players but balances out with the lack of fruit trees. The builder has fortified armour and 2 great abilities so it can easily avoid the titan in good hands. However the 'mini' minimap pings are silent and tiny white dots so their very easy to miss. Not to mention in a 30 minute game it will work only 20 times.
The other side of this builder is the ability to be offensive without gold. This is 'hopefully' going to encourage more titans to look for lumber bases and xp as if you camp the gold some nasty crabs will soon be inbound. Not strong enough to kill a titan but ample support for hunters. The workers also give 3 gold to the titan when killed so whilst harder to kill, grant a greater reward.
In short this guy is stupidly simple to use. But in good hands could pottentially really annoy a titan with its survavibility and tough workers.
