Co-Op Mutation #416: Enter the Nexus

Moebius has deployed powerful clones in defense of its battle station. As if that weren’t enough, the winter snows have descended, which makes navigating the thick blizzards a hazardous endeavor. Make good use of your time to neutralize the battlestation.

Blizzard - Storm clouds move across the map, damaging and freezing player units in their path.
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.

Notes:

  • Enemy heroes escort both truck waves and regular attack waves.
  • The faster the players complete the map, the fewer enemy heroes there will be.
  • The Blizzards do not affect the players’ bases.

  • Stukov P3
  • Raynor P3
  • Artanis P3
  • Alarak P3
  • Abathur P2

#232 Enter the Nexus – SOLO ALL CLEAR!!

Mutators: Heroes from the Storm, Blizzard

https:// youtube.com/shorts/HN-swEh-Xjs?feature=share

https://youtu.be/kCLXj8I3QSk (Easy Solo - Stetmann)

Heroes from the Storm, a kinda bs mutator if you don’t know to deal with it. To learn how to deal with the heroes, check out this guide https://youtu.be/xElp8h99wVw (how to deal with hfts)

The timings for the heroes vary depending on when you finish the first objective. Check out this guide for details https://youtu.be/V_e64qGwjyo (early game timings)

In general, you will fight the heroes from the escort waves, and then use the remaining time to clear the next area. Blizzard will make that more difficult.

For duos: Karax and Nova

For solo queue: Stetmann

(Don’t use Raynor or Artanis unless you’re good. Don’t use Zeratul p3 unless you want a handicap. Nova p1 is better than p3)

Successes [and key points]

Abathur (p2) https://youtu.be/hxcBDxCpnVk [guardians also work; need a large number of swarm hosts to be effective]

Abathur (p3) https://youtu.be/8Y4OzOEFOCU

Alarak (p3) https://youtu.be/d1DvzKN7nNM [ascendants are better, but I hate using them]

Artanis (p3) https://youtu.be/coQ93aQJbl8 [you might lose if you run out of energy in the late game]

Dehaka (p2) https://youtu.be/F72JeZdd3kM [guardians are better]

Fenix (p2) https://youtu.be/v4U1OQse6l0

HH (p2) https://youtu.be/RY0wwHwCiuE [one mistake in the early game and it’s over]

Karax (p1) https://youtu.be/xM8ggU6XN88 [carriers for offense]

Kerrigan (p3) https://youtu.be/Irx4OKStZ7M [need lots of lings early on vs dehaka and nova]

Mengsk (p3) https://youtu.be/sGemNC6ha9c [p1 also works, but I don’t like unarmed troopers]

Nova (p3) https://youtu.be/_AamS9C9Qc8

Nova (p1) https://youtu.be/kBvtxj1toQE [so much better than p3]

Raynor (p3) https://youtu.be/-PxP6APuCiA [mass spider mines, then 12+ BCs]

Stetmann (p2) https://youtu.be/28yuYPrJ5YQ

Stukov (p3) https://youtu.be/rQYp9Iw5UJQ [tanks are better than queens because of deep tunnel and AOE for truck waves]

Swann (p0) https://youtu.be/iB1b-fpK-4A [conc beam kills the escorts and incidentally some of the enemy base]

Tychus (p2) https://youtu.be/Zz_zXDTbqSE [need odin for 21 min wave]

Vorazun (p3) https://youtu.be/GGXATdtNeHE [don’t attack without time stop]

Zagara (p3) https://youtu.be/PZXjbYBke9Y

Zeratul (p2) https://youtu.be/I1AtsouAKdw [cannons; early game is difficult]

Zeratul (p0) https://youtu.be/KZY26X8NEwU [DTs; much easier]

Multi mutation (Multiple official mutations in one)

Dehaka p2 https://youtu.be/ghjE5VweWmA (b+7)

Stetmann p2 https://youtu.be/zoJafVhbvrI (b+7)

Questions about any of these runs are welcome. Many runs will be uploaded throughout the week (because I didn’t actually think I would be able to all clear this).

Not my favorite map, but the mutation combo is pretty fun.
