E: nope, got crushed again. I was able to go on and beat The Host (took me over an hour of being cautious and initiating fights with Spear abilities, etc.) but this mission is killing me. I gave Salvation a shot and that ended badly. Guess I should just play a bit more and get better at macro and decision making for these two missions. | ||

My setup> Void Rays + storm = MEGA OP This applies to every mission except those where you need to move fast because templars don't move fast  Basically what does air units naturally do? Clump. What does storm do? Regen shields! (I mean your own storm )I added few immortals too because later if the only thing on the ground is a group of templars they won't live long enough. Also I am not exactly sure about my Spear of Adun setup, what is unlocked in the mission? If the 5th column is available I had the basic(0 solarites price) skill. The big disadvantage: this creates a really bad habit for multiplayer Also, because this is not mineral heavy - build tons of cannons and zealots as the shield for templars. Oh, and don't forget to use offensive skills of you ship | ||

It's easy (at least with good blink micro) with Stalker if you alternate using the Spear of Adun's three lasers and barrier (it lets you offensively blink forward and barely lose anything) to clear their layers of defense. Splash in ~15 DTs too and if you snipe Oracles you can hold the position while using a big Stalker ball to kill the bonus objectives. Also to kill the 3 Nexuses easily you can just use barrier, blink in and snipe the Nexus, then blink out. To be honest some of the methods other people are describing sound easier, though Stalkers are the most fun to use . | ||

I only get like 35 solarite for this mission when I should have far more. It's real annoying. I tried reloading the point where I have 130ish army supply and am right at the last spot, but I just get crushed with tempests, carriers, hybrids, etc. After trying and restarting so many times, I think I'm going to give up for now. I'm too damn old to get so stressed over this mission and Salvation so I've moved on to trying the mastery achievements and maybe some fun co-op games. This is all skipping the bonus objectives too, just straight for the push and 2nd base, but I still get wrecked. Not sure why this one seems so much harder than the others. Ah well, maybe sometime in the future. Yea that bug seems to have happened to everyone, you can beat them all on casual in just over an hour while watching some LotV streams at the same time ^^. | ||

Ah well, maybe sometime in the future. What worked for me: Void Rays (normal kind), and only pushing when I had a mass of them (saving Alarac whenever he whined, of course). Took the second base, massed more Void Rays, and then roflstomped to the end of the map. I'm struggling to find a reason to build anything other than Void Rays once you get access to them... | ||
