Description: Bel'Shir is littred with mines, and each one can only be destroyed by either you or your partner. You must work together in order to clear a path for Stetmann's bots. Communicate, coordinate, and conquer.
Map: Mist Opportunities
Mutations:
Polarity Each enemy unit is immune to either your units or your ally's units.
Minesweeper Groups of Widow Mines and Spider Mines are buried throughout the battlefield.
Bah... Polarity Mutations are soooo annoying to play with random allies. Not funny at all if your partner constantly refuses to cooperate and you lose an entire base to a few units you simply can't kill...
I really like the map and the concept of conquer and defend but the mutation combination is just cancer having a child with ebola and merrying it to aids.
I give up, this mutation is undoable with random allies. People are so slow, although you need to hurry up and clean the mines before the bots arrive (especially on wave 3).
And what's best, it's usually the Nova players who begin the mission by saying "I hope you're better then the last one" or "xxx sucks on this mutation".
haha yea I'm trying with randoms and it definitely takes at least some coordination. way more mines than I was expecting and they burst the vessels down fast
Well, I have done it on hard as artanis with a reynor partner and stukov with a karax partner, but both times failed on completely brutal with the same combo.
I did it as swann with a artanis. We didnt expand and just moved around with tanks(in herc), goliaths science vessel and robo+dragons slowly and very liberal use of or cd (fully uppgraded drill) We where lucky though it was against roach hydra zerg.
Took me like 9 tries to find a competent partner. We lost a bot and almost lost at the end, but made it. The fact that you can start the game with mines in your mineral line is wrong.
no one ever wants to be proactive about killing mines. keep getting to the 3rd set of bots but then they just fly over all the mines or into the unit packs and die because partner blows up to mines. best try with randoms so far has been with karax just cause I can get detection everywhere.
I felt like kerrigan would be good for cleaning up the mines but the mines arent really a problem tbh. it's the polarity that makes it hilarious
The 2 challenges this week are mines with polarity and then polarity itself. What a pain in the ass. I somehow did it with a friend but it was on hard difficulty so I had smaller attack waves and can lose up to 2 bots instead of 1 in brutal. I played as Stukov to eat at least the spider mines so only widow mines were left but still annoying.
Finally did it (brutal) with a competent random: Nova (marauder, marine, ghost with later game Raven) + Artanis (Mass tempest) + no mines in starting mineral line + Zerg
Managed to do it with a competent ally. Went for Swann and used goliaths (due to their extra range from tech lab and armory), invested mastery points into drill. My ally was Nova, and we were constantly moving together clearing mines.
I felt like kerrigan would be good for cleaning up the mines but the mines arent really a problem tbh. it's the polarity that makes it hilarious
How is Kerrigan good at clearing up mine? Don't they killed her so qiuckly? Even with the leaping abilty, the mines still get her.
Are you thinking of using hydras?
I thought I remembered from the last time there was a mine mutation that her dash ability was good at cleaning them up. Maybe I'm just thinking of triggering the mag mines though
