#44 The Injustice League 15/18 SOLO CLEAR
Mutators: Heroes from the Storm, Hardened Will, Inspiration
This was the first mutation with HftS. Because this mutation is on RtK, a strong early game is really important. The first five waves will always feature the same heroes. The ones after will be random.
2:00 – Raynor (listen for the snipe before engaging with your whole army)
5:00 – Tychus + Dehaka (be sure to bait Dehaka’s drag)
8:00 – Nova + Karax (be sure to bait Nova’s nuke)
11:00 – Zeratul + Zagara (be sure to have detection; Zeratul is strong but can’t hit air)
14:00 – Kerrigan + Artanis (be sure to bait Kerrigan’s apocalypse; Artanis has two lives)
17:00 – three heroes (always assume that there will be a nuke or apoc)
20:30 – four heroes (if you have a large air army, you can skip this one and go all in on the last shards)
24:30 – six heroes (should not fight this wave or any subsequent waves)
Hardened Will + Inspiration means that you have to kill all the weenies before going after the heroes. AOE works really well here. Focus fire weenies, even if you have to move forward and lose a few units, because if you don’t, the heroes will kill even more.
Air armies work well against the third and fourth sets of shards. In fact, you really only have to worry about attack waves; the rest is just like a regular RtK mission.
How to do the hidden base cheese for this mutation:
All attack waves go for the main except the 8:00 and 14:00 waves. For solos, the 8:00 wave will go to your expansion. You have three options.
-
Kill Nova and Karax without letting them get close to your buildings
-
Fly your CC away before they get there.
-
After they destroy your natural and head towards your main, enter from the other side and build your CC/hatch/nexus.
After this, don’t let the enemy get vision of any of your structures. Use flying units to destroy the shards. Poke at units in the fourth area to lure the heroes away from the third area. Do not attack the leftmost shard in the third area when the enemies are around your main. If you do, they might fly their air units (including detectors) over your hidden base and you’ll die. To avoid this, you can take the other expo (near the first bonus), but your units will have to travel farther, which might waste time against the last set of shards.
Failures [and why I failed]
Kerrigan (p0) [dehaka will most likely kill you; if you live, you get to fight nova, who will most likely kill you; if you can get past nova, the rest should be pretty easy, but I have never gotten past nova]
Stukov (p3, p1) [p1 is better, but I wanted to try p3; hardened will and inspiration made it near impossible to kill the weenies; with p1, queens deal huge amounts of burst damage, but the fights were really unforgiving]
Tychus (p0, p1, p3) [if you mess up vs nova, she will snipe everyone to death]
