Only spell you really need to use is storm and warp cell. Building tanks + hydras/ghost and storming like crazy usually does the trick. | ||

i've played it a lot and matched jewels at really fast speed my conclusion is that you gotta be really lucky, or that it's impossible | ||

Just kinda curious. Edit: Just tried it again and seems relatively easy if you can match quickly like I said. Not sure what you think is wrong... | ||

Need at least one FOR THE SWARM combo and have to time your tanks so that they stack up and rape face. You saved me a few hours of life with this suggestion, thanks :D | ||

Also, a bit of luck is involved since you can't always control when you get a big combo. | ||

I used 1 storm in the beginning-ish for the clump of mutas. | ||

Edit: NVM, got it almost immediately after this post. Seemed to be mostly a matter of getting a lucky sequence of combos at the very beginning of the game. I spent all of my early energy on tanks and then once I got up to ~6 of them I massed ghosts/hydras as everyone in the thread recommended. | ||

After watching the replay, I didn't really advance much until I got about 7 tanks, at which point I moved forward very quickly for the win. | ||

Just make no units except TANKS. Tanks have good range and as long as you are making marines, tanks will stay alive. Warp cell the enemy ultras, collo and storm if they decide to mass small units. As long as you keep your tanks alive it should be an easy win.... no challenge at all  | ||

Took me less than 3mins to beat him, it would be difficult if the AI casted spells as well then that would really be a challenge. The combination tanks + ghost is also really good when it comes to 2v2 as well. | ||

The trick is to build a good tank line initially while the AI impales themselves on your cannons. Once you hit a critical mass of tanks, as long as you're on top of storm and warp cell, it becomes easy. Of course, in practice this just means spamming tanks and casting spells as your front line dictates it. Replay for those that are still working this one out: ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-201439.jpg) | ||
