Closest I can get is 80% but the leviathan in the air wave just fucks me over badly, thors can't reach him, and vikings get facerolled even when I have loads.

I'm thinking of trying with just vikings and tanks + bunkers turrets and flame turrets or something now. and just make tons of vikings to cover all incoming air and hope tanks can deal with kerrigan or something. the leviathan will probably be alive during the whole time but with this I might be able to keep him busy till i'm done ?

I was stuck around 99.6%-99.9% on brutal for soooo long yesterday, the trick that finally gave me those few extra seconds I needed to win was just throwing down a ton of supply depots (with the instant supply depot research) around the artifact platform to draw fire after my remaining troops got overwhelmed.

Restart the mission get arround 7-8BCs use them to yamato kerrigan then run(avoid them to die vs her blue buble that blows stuff up) send 10 rines+3-4 medics aganinst her (they will finish her of)... as soon as leviathan comes out wait till you get energy for yamato in all your bcs then yamato the shit out of him and finish him with the BCs+vikings.

Once his dead it will be much more easy since you don't get broodlords and muta in your face all the time but in small groups just like before his arrival gl hf ^^

hmm I tried BC's before but might not have used them well enough I'll give them a shot now I've tried the above tactic I mentioned about 3 times now got me to 85% but I keep loosing to many defenses before hand so I still get overrun

but marines are a good idea yea, cuz if I keep my bc on her after yamato I loose atleast half of them.

and does anyone get any upgrades btw ?

I'm doing this on hard btw.

still not getting that tactic with the marines to work :S I'm not intending to get this map down to bloody perfect play just to get the mission -_- everytime u make 1 little freaking slipup it all goes to hell and things seem to go differently also even when I load from last save.

the leviathan wnet to another spot, kerrigan actually just walked away once back to the base lol
weird shit but i'm done with it :s

Tanks spread them out and banshess to take out the nydus worms. when she comes take a few scv or marine and toss them in front of her and tanks rape her. did it on brutal easy win spread/sack : )

they did not even come close to killing me never went below 180 food

(AIR) I put all my defense in the middle. 2 PF + 8-6 siege tanks + 2 bunkers down in the middle along the ridge and one PF on each side of the artifact. Then you mass marines and vikings. Marines are for killing Kerrigan and vikings to kill all air units. Build 4-5 BC's to yamato gun the flying boss and finish it off with vikings. Updrage ship armor and cannons. Build Turrets when ever you can afford it. I usually keep one BC at the back to take care of the harass from behind. I haven't tried the ground version yet.

Kill kerrigan with thors.
If you have the energy upgrade 3-5 thors on the high ground rapes her every time she comes by. Just stunlock her with the thors while you gun her down with all of your other stuff.

Leviathan is what raped me non-stop until I found out that the pulse wave damages him. 3 yammato + pulse + vikings spread out as to not be raped by his suped up FG.

Otherwise psi disruptors + tanks/PFs rape the ground, and a group of microed viknigs rape the air with their splash upgrade.

i did this fairly easily on hard, air mode.

i made a line of 5 bunkers at each side, filled them with marines, upgraded +3 wep, put 5 scvs at each line for repairs; made 3 bunkers at the top near the artifact, same deal as before, and used the rest of my supply to make vikings to take out brood lords.

i also had a backup of 6-12 marines at each side as well, for additional firepower for when bigger waves come or kerrigan.

kerrigan usually only manages to kill one bunker with this method.

oh, don't forget to spam turrets at the rear of your base for overlord drops. you'll have the minerals, don't worry.

I just beat this last night on my 7th try I think.

I built 3 additional bunkers next to the preexisting one and filled them with Maurauders/marines. Also, I left 2 or 3 SCV's up there to repair at each side Then I made about 7 or 8 tanks behind (and on ridges) each choke.

2 bunkers in the base (by the merc building) to kill Nydus worms in base before they spawned.

1 bunker by the SCV's to stop the drops from wrecking me. (along with some turrets to shoot down overlords)

And then about 10 banshees to travel around killing nydus worms/ultras. When Kerrigan attacks, lure her into the tank range and attack with Banshees. If I had extra money I would get the mercenaries to bolster the army. I used the artifact once to clear everything out, but basically let the bunkers tank and rebuild them when they die. Lots of tanks for splash damage is what put me over the top. Make sure to kill Nydus worms ASAP, because they just get stronger with age. Once Nydus worms were dead, I would send the banshees to the most dangerous choke to finish it off.

I've tried all of these things

I can't get them to work, and when I use thors half the time they refuse to cast their stun.. I just keep clicking but they won't cast it .. how does this work ? is it bugged or ? keeping her stunlocked is out of the question this way because I can get 1 stun of tops when I get lucky enough for a thor to finally do a stun :S

every freaking time when I try any tactic I always loose because at some points I can't rebuild my walls because they are constantly being attacked I loose tons of scv's in the process end up with too little money.. my forces all dying trying to rebuild the walls there's flyers on all sides of my base , there's some kind of pods that fall from the sky constantly harassing everything.. and everyone here just comes with these simple tactics like build some bunkers here and there ,, some tanks some vikings and ur good .. but why doesnt that work then :S my bunkers keep getting merced by kerrigan, repairing doesnt work at all

I've got no splash upgrades on the vikings either no mind control no nothing that is usefull at all on this map I'm so tired of not being able to complete this map because I lack the right research and upgrades :S

I completed this mission with m&m and tanks only (on hard). I build walls of supply depots and barracks and put tanks behind them. Between tanks i had the m&m and at least 3 SCV at all times to repair stuff (sometimes even 5 scvs).

When Kerrigan came i lured her with some small army or even the SCVs to cast her destruction spell in front of my wall and than killed her of with the tanks.
