Co-Op Mutation #464: No Money, More Problems

Co-op Missions Discussion
1

Amon’s terraforming of Veridia Prime has ravaged the planet’s resources. You must brave catastrophic environmental conditions in order to secure the materials needed to build your army. Use caution, but don’t delay. Every passing second brings the planet closer to destruction.

Slim Pickings - Player worker units gather resources at a reduced rate, but resource pickups spawn throughout the map.
Self Destruction - Enemy units explode and deal damage to friendly player units upon death.
Twister - Tornadoes move across the map, damaging and knocking back player units in their path.

Notes:

  • Heroic units are not immune to Twister.
  • That being said, doing a hero solo is way less stressful than trying to macro while keeping up with pickup collection and xenon crystal collection.
  • Workers gather 1 resource per trip on Brutal difficulty.
  • Depending on your multitasking ability, running workers around the map is a more efficient means of collecting resources than is mining. Patrol may be helpful for this.
  • Units explode where they are killed and deal more damage if they consumed more supply.

Hero play is nice. Karax P3 was also nice b/c once you upgrade Solar Forge enough times, you can heavily lean in on that. With Karax P3 + Tychus P1, I was able to assist with SoA lasers throughout, but you can push later on when you get enough units (assuming Tychus didn’t already all clear)

This mutation requires heroic and expendable units. Get the crystals and brave the twisters. Recommended commanders:

  • Stukov P3
  • Tychus P2
  • Karax P3
  • Stetmann P1
  • Mengsk P1
  • Kerrigan P2
  • Zeratul P2

Zeratul P3 is a relative chill here. Just pick 2 artifacts and go smashing all over the place. Army-wise, I’ve been making a bit of Immortals & Observers, but that was more a support group.

I had a Zeratul P2 just dominate. Around mid game or so, he already had 6 AF! Ended the game with 10! With that many level ups, he could just blink into enemy waves, Shadow Cleave, and take out most opposition (it does 220 damage. Enemy Phoenix only had 100/50 hp/shields! ) Even the Self Destruct damage only took off a few hundred of his shield points, whereas he was at 1K shields anyways :open_mouth:
