i start to make banshees from beginning and use them to clear expo in south between 2 protos artifacts and deffend my base with them. its usefull to send at least 4 scvs to gather gas and use mules to gather minerals. u should build a new cc at the expo as fast as u can too. after the left upper protos base is gone u should clear the middle protos base and expo northeast of this base and fly ur cc's over there. u should build there second starport and 2 upgradebuildings too and upgrade ur ships until the end. there u should make some vikings (8-10) and kill the protos base at southeast and fly ur buildings over there and build more banshees as long as u can. then u can wait until protos base is almoust destroyed or just fly vikings over protosbase to lure attention while killing missiontarget with banshees. u can use scan to kill observer with vikings too to make it easier. to clean up 2 protosbases u have to kill canons with banshees at first base and then u can stealth and fly in and clean this up. at 2. base u can just kill this protos dropships with vikings and after that clean the base with stealthed banshees. | ||

Just make banshees. 2nd starport at your 1st base and pump them out. Obviously make optimum # of SCVs as well (having MULES helps to get quick minerals). When the dude warns you about impending firey doom, go and take the highlighted base out. It's no threat really just take out the pylons and cannons. Watch out for attacks on your first base though, optimally begin attacking the protoss base right after their latest attack wave. OK, now just ship your buildings/scvs over there and start gathering/massing more banshees. Also build a single missile turret to take out pesky phoenixes (banshees can rape everything else). You should really not have lost any banshees so far, 1 max really. Now when you're either out of res or the firewall is closing in, take alllll of your banshees and fly straight up to the top of the screen. At the very top, fly right, stopping only to destroy the cannons with focus fire. Keep moving fast to the right corner, take out the three cannons there, and attack the objective. In the top right corner your banshees are above rocks, and only the phoenixes attack them. Piece of cake. If the protoss rage in at your base, lift off your buildings to give yourself enough time to finish the mission. This is obviously the cheap, easy way to get brutal completion. My hat off to anyone who took the time and effort to destroy the protoss. tl;dr: mass banshee, fly up, across top to top right corner, attack objective and win | ||

Orbital CC and Auto-Refinery is god for this mission. If you don't have it, that's fine but it'd be much harder. Heavy Banshee is pretty much the way to go at the start. Just make nothing but them. Once you have a bunch, use them to slowly pick off the units on the path to the south, there's some minerals and a relic there. But don't go too fast as the Protoss will launch some attacks; I think 2-3 cloaked banshees at home with your standing army will do fine. There's also a random scout guarding the relic, but with cloak, you can just destroy everything else and finish the scout off with some marines or vikings later on when you come to claim the nearby resources and the relic. When the fire almost gets at your base, your mercenaries should be ready, if you have the Viking merc that'll help a lot. If not, just hire random ones to give you more cover power-- you do not want random crap coming in and slaughtering all your scvs/buildings while your banshees are fighting. Go wipe up the base to your east with Banshees; don't bother sending any ground troops. You can use your ground troops to retrieve the relic which is kinda up north if you want. In the meantime, float your CC to the south minerals and mine for a bit. If you have Orbital CC this will go along very well. Once you've cleared out the middle Toss base, move your mining to their base instead. You should really make a few extra vikings/banshees, but from now on, save up your resources for mercenaries. You should use siege breakers to take out the cannons to the next resource area quickly because the fire will be on your ass soon, move out to the next resource node and do not set up base here; you're just here to exploit the minerals and you will be leaving very soon. Hire as many mercs as you can, marauders, marine mercs are awesome to absorb some damage and kill the southern base. The relic is near the far east, use a siege tank to take out the cannons and lure anything else out. Then just send a marine to finish off the high templar and grab the relic. :p The enemy is gonna still get storms on you, but fortunately that group of mercs will take the damage instead of your banshees and vikings. Oh yea, and watch out for the odd carrier... Move everything to the south, and set your production buildings all the way at the edge of the map /w addons.Once the fire gets near the final mining area, siege just below the ramp, wait a bit to clear out the front defenses, and rush in with everything that's not a banshee. Suicide your vikings up north towards the relic to clear out any phoneix/scouts/obs nearby and everyone else should kill the cannons. A lot of your shit will die but If you manage to have a few cloaked banshees left, you'll take down the relic pretty easily-- most of the toss are fried anyways by now. Overall, focusing on mercs helped the most. Guess the cost of those addons do add up. | ||
