this mission has these challenges -
- Defense. This is the biggest problem in the first 6-7 minutes, after which you’ve either stabilize or just lose
- Sniping Rifts. Setting up static D is not gonna cut it here; if you can’t close the rifts, no defense will be enough
- Pushing Objectives. Lastly, yeah, the actual mission lol. This takes a particular answer, cause the mines will evaporate ANY army that just walks into them.
So, 1 and 2 are not the biggest hurdle IMO. Several commanders have decent answers for the rifts, but pushing objectives is really challenging.
Stukov can do it by pure attrition, but it’s slow work. I mean, this is absolutely exacerbated by my poor micro, but Kerrigan P2 was the best answer for me. Charge up, blind-fire at everything in a radius. She’ll still get shredded if she charges into a clump of mines, but kinda strafing back and forth and they can be cleared without coming into range. The enemy buildings are really helpful here; attack them a few times to charge up, then use psionic shift (or whatever the dash ability is called).
HH is without doubt the best for clearing the rifts, but they really struggle to push the objectives. First time I beat this, I was using HH, and I really just focused on the rifts. My ally playing P3 raynor did the mission.
