Co-Op Mutation #336: Moving Fees

The nuclear generator that powers the battlestation has exploded, causing Amon’s unprotected forces to burst into flame when slain. This also means that your forces are applying special anti-radiation packs that allow them to fight in the radiation, but require constant replenishment, which drives up the cost of operation. Make every move count to bring down the battle station.

Micro Transactions - Giving commands to your units costs resources based on the unit’s cost.
Scorched Earth - Enemy units set the terrain on fire upon death.

Notes:

  • The cost to micro a unit is its supply count times 1 mineral and 1 gas. For units that cost only minerals, the cost to micro is the supply times 2
  • Buildings, top bars, and the Artifact Truck also cost minerals to use.
  • Even hero units like the Hyperion and Kerrigan cost resources to micro. Fenix notably costs only 1 mineral to micro.
  • Auto attack does not cost minerals, so static defense should not cost anything to work.
  • Once you run out of resources, you will continue to be able to micro your existing units and workers for free! But… you can’t make any more units until your gather enough resources to make them again. [Best time to set rally points and move Overlords is right after you make your first worker, before the workers return with their first harvest]
  • Air units are immune from Scorched Earth

#150 Moving Fees – SOLO ALL CLEAR (many meme runs)

Mutators: Scorched Earth, Microtransactions

This mutation is more annoying than difficult.

Use air units because they ignore scorched earth.

Know the wave timings so you won’t be out of position (and have to waste money to move back).

If you do a hero only or no mining run, you won’t really need to care about microtransactions.

Mutation overlap 150 this week 2nd

1st clear Mengsk P3+Tychus P1

Mutation (Moving Fees) play list

I should be able to clear the whole map with 6 swarm hosts as Abathur P2 so microtransactions are not a problem once they are up and running

I had very easy time with solo hero Kerrigan P3. Her assimilate piles up gas and minerals.
