Mission: All In – Heavy Air Assault
In this mission because I chose to annihilate the tunnels as my primary mission I get assaulted from the air very heavily. This requires me to have an enormous amount of anti air defense. I try to weave in some Battlecruisers and Valkyries mainly with some science vessels for repairs. I also line the outside of my base with turrets to include the bottom area as attacks will come from there as well.
I try to keep the ground entry points fully bunkered and if possible supply depoted in so nothing can get through and then I’ll put as many SCV’s as I can afford in all areas for repair.
The main issue I am experiencing on hard difficulty right now is the guardian type air attacks because they have such long range and the base is constantly under attack I find myself not realizing they are attacking. They destroy ground buildings really fast, if you don’t pay attention all of your bunkers on a side will be gone out of nowhere.
The best defense for the guardians so far has been Valkryie’s with their extended range. Anything in the air will do the trick, be careful when attacking them that you don’t run across mutalisk or other units that will take your attack units down. If you are able to avert the guardians it is quite possible you could beat it on hard without any problems if you keep a sufficient enough turret system and air fleet up, as the ground units, including Kerrigan, won’t be able to get through your defenses all that much.
All In
Complete basic objectives of mission (win)
Burn and Turn
For this one you need to kill 150 zerg units, wait to use the artifact blast until you are becoming overwhelmed and you’ll get to this achievement rather quickly
Aces High
The above video is for normal difficult, I haven’t come up with a strategy yet for Hard but I’m working on one. This achievement only lets you use the artifact blast one time on Hard, which is HARD, for right now. Will keep you updated.
