Hey everyone this week is super tough. I've bee able to do it with Vorazun (and a good Ally). Try to get together with your ally before playing and come up with ideas about who to attack first and what the end game will be. At this point I know I'm not going to get everyone done . So here is your chance to help, please let me know which commanders you have done and your rankings. Good Luck and Have Fun. Here is the link to the VOD https://www.twitch.tv/videos/401073647 Last weeks all commanders is here

Okay commander for this week if you can clear the span locations and also the detection around them you an get Spider Mines and camp the spawning locations to not deal with more than half the Heros.
Vikings are great for after you get enough Vultures and Mines.
Hyperion is good for dealing with the Heros.
Turrets around the Gates will help a lot as buildings are not effected by the Moment of Silence.
1 Alarak
Great commander for this week, if you have amazing skills.
Between Alarak's Destruction Wave, Ascendants Orb, and Havocs Force Field you an do a lot to keep every enemy away and even kill attack waves before they are even fully on the map (thus avoiding Heros).
When the Heros from the Shuttles spawn be sure to use Force Field to keep them away.
Its more important in the early game to get more Ascendants and your few Havocs then any real amount of Supplicants.
Alarak can deal with the early game simply by kiting and using Destruction wave and Structure Overcharge at your main Ramp.
1 Zeratul
Good commander this week, Cannons are not effected by Moment of Silence.
You should try to be on top of every attack wave and have Cannons in place early.
A Vorazun partner can do a lot to help you get extra time for Cannon Projections.
I like the Avatar of Form
1 Vorazun
Time Stop and Black Hole are great here.
I Went for DT Corsair, make sure you get all their upgrades and at least all the air attack upgrades.
I went for Blink first so that I could Blink away for Moment of Silence after a Hero dies.
I turned off auto-cast for Shadow Fury so that I could manually cast it on Heros when they are by themselves.
Black Hole is great between TS make sure you and your partner communicate to know where the Black Hole will be.
1 Abathur
One of the best this week, if you roll for Protoss ground you should be able to clear entire attack waves before they spawn and avoid the Heros.
Try to get your 3 Brutas before you Leviathans.
After you get all 6 Evos then start to make Swarm Hosts for the free units as they will do goo damage and pull a lot of the Spells from the Heros.
The Leviathans have super long attack range and can kill the Shuttles without getting effected by Moment of Silence.
Tiers Tier 1 Either can kill all units before the Heros spawn or can deal well with them once they arrive. Tier 2 Good defense but Heros are tough. Tier 3 Not Recommended.
Swann might be impossible. His army is too slow to get up and going and while his turrets are good, they melt to people like Nova who just nukes your shit. I think Vorazun with her spells are crucial.
This week is the toughest mutation so far. It's even insanely difficult on hard/normal modes.
My unsuccessful attempts so far (haven't gotten past 3rd wave of shuttles): Karax: Gets nuked, not enough damage. Sustains better than others, but eventually dies anyway. Spear of adun isnt affected by moment of silence, so that's good. Swann: Pretty good, but probably needs to work together with Karax. Not enough damage. Takes too long to get enough tanks. Abathur: Good, but once evos die, there's no coming back. Kerrigan: Kerrigan herself is okay, but very fragile when 3 heroes fight her at once. Her army units are too weak. Nova: Nova gets wrecked so fast. With defense drone, her army can fight a bit longer.
For Zeratul, did you use the mastery where crystals spawn sooner (so you can project cannons faster)? Or did you use the reduced cooldown one?
Good grief, this week is madness. I have failed a couple of attempts at hard and normal/hard with random partners already. I went Karax once but the nukes were the end of the static d. Went Vorazun the other time, but even with the black holes I lost the exp right away... No, I think I'll skip any further attempts on this and spend my precious time on the ladder instead. I rather get wrecked there.
For those camping the enemy spawns with mines/toxic nests
3:05 right 5:05 left 7:30 right - shuttles are near 1st bonus (edit: sometimes this spawns on the left for some reason...) 9:55 right - wave goes toward 1st bonus 11:05 left 14:05 left 16:20 right - shuttles are near enemy's right expo 16:55 left - shuttles are near 2nd bonus 19:15 right - shuttles are near 1st bonus 21:45 left 21:50 right 24:15 right - last wave
Concentrated Beam and Pulse Cannon can be used to destroy waves as soon as they spawn (similar to toxic nests/spider mines). You need very precise timings, though. Wraiths to chase shuttles.
For Swann/Abathur, Abathur spreads creep with queens to gain vision so that the Laser beam can continue to target the heroes as they're walking towards your base.
