Hey guys, i saw alot of players having difficulties with this mission on brutal difficulty so i've decided to record a playtrough to hopefully show you how it can be done, enjoy!
Few things to note : 1 fraps gets my computer real laggy, you won't notice it while watching the video but i definetly suffer from it especially while trying to shift building multiple structures. So my apologies for the time spent placing down buildings.
2 Positioning of your tanks and turrets must be perfect, this is what makes it work creating a ''killzone'' at both your chokes. Do not try to hold both chokes and place your buildings/tanks differently, it may very well not work.
3 Kerrigan won't go down to your tanks, you need marines for that, lots of marines. Blow the artifact and send your marines in. I choose to use the Hercules dropship to carry my marines in and out, if you don't have this researched you will need 3-4 medivacs. (carefull they are very weak!)
The reason i'm not simply running my marines out of the two holes i left is because when Kerrigan comes you want them clumped togheter, stim up and steamroll. If you run your marines out they'll come out one by one in a line wich isn't a good thing.
4 Tech and upgrades used :
- Stim pack
- Combat shields
- Perdition tower (the flame one)
- slow tower
- Tanks damage and friendly fire reduced
- Hercules
- Orbital command
- Automated refineries & increased production rate from them
- Tech reactor upgrades
- Scvs repair x2
- Auto building repair under 50%
- Auto turret life + aoe upgrades
- Mechanical units regeneration
If you don't have some of these, don't worry it can still be done, just slightly more difficult.
When you get supply blocked, send the battlecruisers, the banshees and the marauders off to their death, need more tanks.
Place the 4 mercenaries tanks like i did, they will do most damage.
Upgrade your tanks to +3 attack straight away, also your marines.
Tank armor isn't needed but start boosting marine's armor upgrade once their +3 attack is done.
Kerrigan comes stronger every time, your marines might need help finishing her off near the end.
Don't make extra scvs unless you lost too many trying to repair, then simply replace the amount you lost. 200 supply is very limited for such a huge area to cover with 2 layers of tanks.
You can keep the mineral flow up just by spamming mules whenever possible.
Basically, do what i do and you'll be fine! Hope this helps.
