*In this mission you have to keep Pavium alive by any means necessary, unlike a common hero unit, which can be revived once downed. | |||

===Strategy=== | |||
*Do not let Pavium die, no matter what. If he dies, then you will fail the mission. | |||
*It's recommended to have Huragok early in the mission in order to sustain losses. | |||
*The Wraith is the best unit to deal with the Flood in this level. Use it to defend the base and breakthrough their siege when retreating. | |||
*When the defense preparation is underway, utilize that opportunity to rescue any scattered salvage teams. | |||
**If possible, capture any Power Node when rescuing them so you can save a slot to produce supply faster in order to strengthen defenses faster. | |||
====Bonus and Optional Objective==== | |||
*2000 kills on Pod Infector can be very tricky and tough. Instead of retreat, try to hold as long as you can until the quota is filled. | |||
**It is best to retreat and not going straight to the escape point since smaller area often gives you the best opportunity to establish kill zones. At least until your quota was filled. | |||
*Have Huragoks assist the Salvage teams so they can hold out on their own until Pavium's forces came to rescue them. | |||
*Clean all the resources since you need to collect 3,000 resources. This means you must open all of the supply crates and loot it. | |||
===Mistakes=== | ===Mistakes=== | ||
*The Brute Chopper in the middle of the level was supposed to be infected by a Pod Infestor when one attacks it as Pavium retreats to the base. It is most likely a scripting error that made the Chopper not turn into an Infected Chopper. | *The Brute Chopper in the middle of the level was supposed to be infected by a Pod Infestor when one attacks it as Pavium retreats to the base.
