Co-Op Mutation #451: Violent Night

You’d better watch out! Amon is exacting vengeance on those he deems naughty, and this most certainly includes you. There’s still plenty of reason to be jolly-it’s the season of giving, and there are gifts for everyone! But be warned: Amon does not like sharing.

Gift Exchange - Gifts are periodically deployed around the map. If you don’t claim them, Amon will!
Naughty List - Player units and structures take increased damage for each enemy they’ve killed.

  • Zagara P1
  • Stukov P1
  • HH P1
  • Dehaka P1
  • Zeratul P2
  • Abathur P2

#32 Violent Night – SOLO ALL CLEAR

Mutators: Naughty List, Gift Exchange

https://youtu.be/H-DTPzOWD2E (advice)

https://youtu.be/6QGV_iS0YOQ (easy solo - Zagara p1)

Hero commanders will suffer a bit because of naughty list. Be more careful when using them.

Make extra production facilities to prepare for kill bots and everything is free. If you don’t a lot of production facilities, control click your workers and make a lot of structures everywhere. When you start spending money (meaning the 10 seconds is up), cancel the structures and/or return to mining. You’ll end up with a huge bank.

For duos: Karax/Dehaka and Zagara/Stukov

For solo queue: Zagara, Stukov, Mengsk
