I played Brutal without any campaign upgrades from the Raynor's commanding ship and I think this mission is really easy because you can do the fast expansion to completely distract bottom way attacker pathing away from you tanks on the cliff (--> they always attack your expansion CC instead of your "invisible tanks on the cliff").

This distraction technique means that in the early stages of the map (less than 10 tanks) you can have the top side defended by 4-6 tanks (and initial free MM) while bottom only requires 2-3 tanks. Always use the laser to destroy every Immortal // Archon // Colossus but nothing else.

And after some time (can't seriously remember) be sure that you have about 4 or more missile turrets hugging your tanks on each side and then add more next to the laser drill and into other dropship hold position locations later on. I even had to run off my tanks on the first air attack just to make sure they don't get picked because my turrets were kinda mispositioned and didn't soak the damage away from the tanks fast enough (but it got fixed later on and I had a ton of tanks to spare).

TL;DR:
1. Make superfast economy with expansion
2. Build only tanks as your units
3. Use Laser to destroy hard-to-kill targets
4. Take care of air attacks with Missile Turrets (and laser if needed)
5. Only northside requires "normal" defending (but make sure you can kill the southern entrance units in time)
6. Do not build anything outside of the cliffarea except CC & two gas unless you feel lucky ;p

1 base, mass tanks a few turrets, u can even go afk after u reach a critical amount of tanks. Its really that easy.

"Oh yeah, this mission was super easy, just mass tanks and marauders/medics you win. No strategy involved. This was probably the easiest mission on brutal."

I think its pretty obvious to see that some people are just bsing it. lol.
I love you.

Its much easier to beat on two bases tbh. Once you get enough tanks just expand and take the natural. Make sure to micro the laser to get the archons/immortals and you'll be fine. Also make sure to get some turrets to keep yourself safe from the air waves that will come.
I have a recurring dream that I'm running away from a terran player but the marauders keep slowing me down. - Artosis

Lots of tanks, do NOT keep them right on the edge otherwise they will get owned by storms. Also have a wall of bunkered marines around your tanks for aerial defense. Keep lots of bunkered marines right by the drill too to protect it from air.

I thought this was one of the easier brutal missions, just gotta mass tanks, mass bunkers, like wall off with them, and keep using the laser to kill stuff, ignore the stalkers and zealots though.

Put marauders and marines in the bunkers. The marauders are real useful slowing down the protoss.

Bonus tip, if you want to get the relics as well, I suggest building an extra rax, or use the one you have if you don't need it. Fly it to the relic location, but it has to be between waves, as you get close use the laser to take out any enemies that hold a threat on the rax, liek the scouts, cannons, and stalkers maybe? When the area is clear of enemies land the rax near the relic and make a marine, use the laser to blow up the temple, then pick up the relic with the marine. Lift off the rax and get the other relics.

Reminder, you have to do this between waves, when the toss spawn kill all their immortals and collosi first.

Oh and save load a lot if you need to.

Edit: I forgot, missile turrets, you're going to need them around the laser.
