== | ==Trivia== | ||
=== | ===Miscellaneous=== | ||
* | *Each Minibase will be fortified by one Mega Turret, and it cannot be replaced if it's destroyed. | ||
*Par time for this level is 30 minutes. | |||
* | |||
=== | ===Strategy=== | ||
* | *Make sure you have every counter unit avaiable when attacking. The Flood Spawner is one of the toughest opponents due to its ability to spawn counter units. | ||
* | **Make sure you prepare a reserve in case you suffer losses when attacking Proto-Gravemind or minibases occupied by the Flood. | ||
* | *Jump Pack Brutes can be used to traverse heights where caches are stored. Use them to collect supplies. | ||
*It's recommended to clear all area of the Flood, including the giant tentacles. There may be a base to discover that enables you to reinforce units more quickly. | |||
*Protect your Engineers by any means necessary; Seeder Infectors will always aim for Engineers first to slow down healing. | |||
