strategy still work? Or more specifically, is a nuke barrage still enough to destroy a sliver? Just from playing the game I would’ve thought they had far more hit points than that.
I do know Mengsk can’t do a double bunker drop from the beginning, but that’s only a slight change.
Lack of double bunker drops is pretty big, makes taking contested expansions that much harder. I think you need the mastery now to nuke a sliver, but I’m not 100% sure about it.
It obviously makes a huge difference if you’re trying to take the xpac from the second the game starts; I’m saying you could just wait like 2m to do a double bunker drop and otherwise follow the same strat.
It depends on the sliver. If I’m not mistaken, every time you destroy a sliver, the other slivers gain +2000 shields. I believe that allows you to kill the first 2 (perhaps 3?) with a single nuke calldown
If you’re going ESOs, you take that Mastery anyway.
I don’t know if Nuke can kill a full power 5th Sliver in a single go, but yes. ESO cheese on Scythe of Amon still works just fine.
Full mastery = 14000 damage, so yes. You can absolutely cheese the map. I beat it as swann/mengsk doing just that. We never left base. Someone on the coop discord soloed it with mengsk, probably just like CTG.
You can still cheese it, but taking the expansion isn’t as easy
Yes, works fine.
Mastery is always needed regardless.

You don’t even need expo if you Skipp bonus
