Co-Op Mutation #183: Undermined

Co-op Missions Discussion
1

I support the right to freedom of expression.

Minesweeper - Groups of Widow Mines and Spider Mines are buried throughout the battlefield.
Void Rifts - Void Rifts periodically appear in random locations and spawn enemy units until destroyed.

Void Rift Timings
Time Rifts
2:20 2 Rifts
3:50 2 Rifts
5:20 2 Rifts
6:50 2 Rifts
8:20 4 Rifts
9:50 4 Rifts
11:20 4 Rifts
12:50 4 Rifts
14:20, and after every 90 seconds 4 Rifts

Other notes:

  • Each Void Rift has 500HP, and their spawnings are signalled by a minimap ping on each Rift.
  • The first Void Rifts spawn very close to your base, however the Rifts start to spawn further, often behind enemy lines.
  • Units that spawn from Void Rifts do not drop biomass nor essence.
  • Large groups of Widow Mines and Spidermines are spawned on the map. Players can destroy these to clear them out.
  • Widow Mines have 180HP, deal 250 damage each with 5 range, and replenish their charges.
  • Spidermines have 25HP, deal 250 damage each, and do not respawn upon detonation.
  • Void Rifts tend to spawn in places where there are not a lot of enemy units, including mines, nearby.

I had to deal with Widow/Spider Mines when I only had Swann and Karax leveled up. Now I have the whole crew. Sounds like anybody who can get detection up and running in a timely matter would be OK? (e.g. Artanis). You can send cheap units to draw out Spider Mines (e.g. Zagara, Stukov), but you’d still need to deal with the Widow Mines.

Don’t think I can do this 1 on Asia, need some serious commander synergy for the first part. Don’t think there’s a commander who can easily deal with both mines AND void rifts early on. Maybe fenix

5

Nova the minesweeper.

6

Mine Sweeper AND Void Rifts? Ugh.

I’m rolling Han and Horner this week. It would be painful to try this with anyone else IMO.

7

Problem is HH needs serious carrying until the first couple strike fighters are up

8

Good thing this is Rifts to Korhal. Early game is a cakewalk on this map.

9

Super EZ with mengsk. Just have a Swann or karax turtle then every 5 minutes you nuke the shards. Gg

I thought Mengsk wasn’t going to be available until later in Nov.? That sounds like it’s at least a few weeks away.

you guys are playing with guys that get’s the game.

the majority of common players have no idea what to to as of Monday and is just getting owned by void rifts alone.

their usual winning play style cannot adapt quick enough.

2nd try fenix Karax, easier then I thought. Early obs with fenix, snipe first rifts with spear. After that it becomes a pretty standard game

Main reason I played H&H. They make Void Rifts trivial, and way too many allies I’ve had completely ignore the Void Rifts.

Managed it first try with Zeratul/Stukov against a Terran Ground. I was a little weary with a Stukov partner, but we pulled it off and carried our own weight. So was pleased with myself and partner there.

Hmm, I’m thinking if her partner can do that, then they’re set anyways? Unless that sort of separation of duties makes it too unwieldy?

What did role Stukov do? I’m guessing all? (minesweeping, Void Rift hunting, and Main obj?). Should be less painful since Os only needs Factory, not Starport.

Vozarun is highly recommended as one of the commander for this week. She can deal with both defense and killing the first shard alone. She still need you to build defense on your flank but it quite ez. Just make sure to cover her pylon with your defensive structure.
Do look out for some mines at your expansion though.

Can’t really go into detail as I’m not a Stukov guy. But he went bunkers, and slowly cleared everything out around expos and the middle ground where the first obelisk spawns. He kept some bunkers at the main ramp, his expo ramp, and the rest were in that first obelisk middle ground; and then would just point at what he wanted his swarm to destroy. He’d also support the main objective with his swarm and call downs. I know he was also mine sweeping, because he had observers in their turret mode while his swarm was working in some places.

Zeratul should make it easy, just go cannons and have an observer or two for vision.
Zeratul the hero, and calldowns can help snipe, particularly in the early game when you don’t have enough cannons.
