Co-Op Mutation #422: Time Lock

Time is not on your side. Amon’s forces are moving fast, and the battlefield is full of treacherous challenges to slow you down. You’ll need to act with both speed and caution in order to win.

Time Warp - Enemy Time Warps are periodically deployed throughout the map.
Speed Freaks - Enemy units have double their normal movement speed.
Mag-Nificent - Mag Mines are deployed throughout the map at the start of the mission.

Notes:

  • This is the second repeat of Time Lock.
  • The Mag Mines cannot be attacked; but they trigger when a unit approaches them, and go in a straight line in the direction of the triggering unit. If they hit, they deal 250 damage in a mid-sized area.
  • Time Warp slows down ground and air units, and even building construction and production.
  • Running a few units first to trigger the Mag Mines in an enemy base will make it safer for the rest of your units.
  • Mag Mines do not respawn after detonation.
  • A big red circle appears on the ground where time warp will spawn.

1st clear Nova P3+Dehaka P2

Mutation (Time Lock) play list

This mutation requires cannon fodder and division. Expendable units must sacrifice or heroic units evade the mag-mines to ensure swift lock secure. Recommended commanders:

  • Nova P3
  • Tychus P2
  • Stukov P3
  • Karax P3
  • Swann P1
  • Kerrigan P2
  • Zagara P1
  • Vorazun P3

Not very crazy, make sure to use a drone to clear mines early on, as in almost right away as youre bored building up economy anyway

#3 Time Lock – SOLO ALL CLEAR with challenge runs

Mutators: Speed Freaks, Time Warp, Mag-nificent

The biggest mutator is magmines. Clear them safely, and keep your army at the natural so that mines cleared by you (or your ally) don’t accidentally destroy your army.

Speed freaks is rough, but you can let them take a lock while you buy time to make your way over there. Split your army later on so you can take care of the double waves.

Pay attention to time warps, especially if you are using hero-based commanders.
