Co-Op Mutation #165: Assembly of Vengeance

Co-op Missions Discussion
1

On your left, Commanders! Amon, the puny god, has a hulking army inbound. Dread it, run from it, the waves still arrive; hitting all sides. Thus your defense must be perfectly balanced, as all things should be. This is the only way to prove that you love the Temple’s 3000 HP.

Map: Temple of the Past
Heroes from the Storm - Every attack wave will be led by a random Hero of increasing power. Each Objective point is also guarded by three random Heroes.
Avenger - Enemy units gain increased attack speed, armor, and life when nearby enemy units die.

Other Notes:

  • The enemy heroes spawn far ahead of the attack wave, so camping the wave spawn with mines will not affect the heroes.
  • Sniping the hero first will prevent the rest of the wave from giving him/her the Avenger buff.
  • Avenger can buff units up to ten times, with each increasing HP and shields by 10%, life regen by 1 per second, armor by 0.3, and attack and movement speed by 10%.
  • Units that get the Avenger buff also grow in size to give players a visual indicator.
  • Mind-controlling/Reclaiming Avenger-buffed enemy units will cause them to lose the Avenger buff.

Clearing the map allows you to spawncamp and keep heroes separated from attack waves.

Nova and Kerrigan do not use Tactical Nuke or Apocalypse if the lowest difficulty is Casual or Normal. Karax does not use Reclamation on any difficulty. Zagara does Roach Drop on every difficulty and it deals 500 damage on impact in a large area.

And the big Heroes From the Storm dump below

Heroes spawn quotes:

Tychus

Is that the best you got?
It’s about damn time.
Don’t waste my time.
I’m a bad man.
Don’t provoke me.
Raynor
Yippee ki-yay.
Time to man up.
You don’t mess with the bourbon cowboy.
All day long.
I got friends in low places.
Dehaka
Many enemies.
Their essense will be mine.
More essense.
I live.
Karax
Foes beware.
A phase-smith is always prepared.
I stand ready.
The arbiter pilot has come.
Nova
Initiating assault.
They won’t see me coming.
Nova here.
Failure is never an option
Zagara
I’m a killer queen.
I feel top-heavy.
I am eternal.
This world shall fall.
Artanis
Vanquish.
Change is upon us.
We shall prevail.
Zeratul
I will not falter, I will not waiver.
Oblivion descends.
There is much to answer for.
Retribution will be swift and absolute.
I press on with renewed purpose.
Kerrigan
Let’s have some fun.
How stimulating.
Don’t get in my way.
You want to play?
No more games.
Here I come, ready or not.

This is impossible with randoms, first u need the right commander mix, then u need to synergize separating attack waves from hero’s. Rip random search this 1

Really? All the heroes are ground, couldn’t Swann just kinda make a bunch of tanks?

Or heck, couldn’t Stetmann just make a bunch of Lurkers? Seeing as they can dodge such things as the Nuke by being invulnerable while tunneling. Or you could mass infestors, that should work ok.

And for that matter, Nova’s spider mines arm instantly, so you could just make her tanks and plant mines directly on top of the enemy heroes to shred them in seconds.

Yes, wave spawns first, and ~ 20-30s later a hero spawn in a forward position.

More info and where they exactly spawn:

Played it and was pretty disappointed. Pretty much just one amon hero per lane at a time.

Probably the easiest Heroes From the Storm containing mutation we’ve had so far.

Yep I agree, it’s impossible with randoms. Even if I tell them to kill heroes first they forget it after some minutes and cant keep up with multiple attacks. Normally I would play with a buddy I know for some time now, but he won’t be able to play for some months now. Anyone here wanna team up and get this mutation done on brutal?
