This is most likely the hardest mission in the game. The key to beating this mission is rushing and can easily be beaten under par time if done correctly. There are no twists in this mission.
- Suggested Faction: Imperial
- Required Technology: Yuriko, Mecha Tengus or Rocket Angels, Wave-Force Tower, Shinobi
Ok as soon as the mission starts build a generator and then 2 dojo cores and deploy them. As soon as the generator is built make 2 refinery cores and deploy them at the ore refineries near you. Then train 5 imperial warriors at each dojo and send 5 to each ramp. Now when the first refinery is done building make another generator and upgrade the 2 dojo cores and them make a mainframe core.
You will probably be getting attacked by now but only by infantry units. Make another generator core and a mecha bay core and deploy them. Next upgrade your dojo cores when the mainframe core is done deploying. While they are upgrading make 5 mecha tengus and transform them into jet tengus, this will repel Vera's twinblades. Now when the dojo cores are done upgrading train Yuriko, 4 shinobi, a sudden transport and 2 tower cores.
When the sudden transport is done immediately disguise it as the first vehicle or aircraft you see. Put Yuriko and the 4 shinobis inside the transport and send them to the back of Vera's base(it would help if you hotkeyed Yuriko and the shinobi separately), making sure that it doesn't encounter any war bears along the way, once it is inside the base it doesn't matter. Now while it is on the way to her base put a tower core at each ramp, it will help with the heavier vehicles.
Once the transport is in her base destroy the aircraft ASAP and then go for the barracks then the war factory and finally the command center(if there is a super reactor near any of the buildings you can destroy that so it would make destroying the other buildings easier but make sure Yuriko is the farthest away she can be). Then just use Yuriko to destroy the rest of her buildings with the shinobi guarding her from terror drones and other infantry. If you were fast enough it wouldn't have given her time to expand and she will be defeated.
Next is Oleg's base, it is more heavily guarded with a lot of anti-infantry. Check the ore node near his and Vera's base to see if he expanded and take out the veteran academy on your way to his base. Use the shinobi to kill any infantry and use Yuriko to kill the sickles, reapers and any other vehicle trying to run over the shinobi.(It is a lot easier to kill the sickles and reapers if you wait for them to jump and have Yuriko slam them to the ground, instantly killing them instead of lifting them into the air.) He will probably have apocalypse tanks so take them out aswell. Kill Oleg the same way as Vera by targeting the airfield, barracks, war factory, command center, and the super reactor if it is close to any buildings. Once those buildings are destroyed, mop up what is left.
Finally Moskvin's base, he will be building a lot of terror drones so make sure you take the war factory out first and do the same thing with Vera and Oleg's bases. There you go, hardest mission beaten under par time.
- Notes:
- If Yuriko dies while she is attacking any bases and your shinobi are still alive, have them infiltrate the closest building if there are still units around that can kill them.
- Use Yuriko's special ability if your shinobi are dead, it will help her last longer
- Make sure the sudden transport is camouflaged before sending it to any of the bases because there is a good chance a terror drone will infect it while it is on the water and kill everybody inside, unless of course there is nothing to camouflage it as, then stay close to land to drop off whats inside if it gets infected.
- Yuriko will not die from destroying a super reactor unless she is too close.
- All 3 of them WILL make both superweapons, but if you were fast enough only Moskvin was able to make both.
- If you want to take out specific units:
- Oleg - uses a lot of anti-infantry armor
- Vera - uses a lot of twinblades
- Moskvin - uses a lot of terror drones.
- If Yuriko is being overpowered, send her into the closest building and garrison it, take out conscripts first and then twinblades if there are any.
