===Strategy===
==Strategies==
*A rear attack is the best solution for dealing with Controller Sentinels. Have one unit act as distraction and have Anti-Air units attack it from rear.
===General===
**It is recommended to use the holo-decoy to create a horde of your units since Sentinels often focus on the holo-decoys first.
*The fully-upgraded Mantis is a well-rounded unit. Build up a large force of Mantises and they can take on various enemy types.  
*The Grizzly Battalion is recommended for this mission due to heavy damage, but beware of population consumption.
*Whenever you capture a control tower, a single Controller Sentinel will always go to the tower. However, this will not happen if you choose to destroy the Controller first before capturing the control tower.
*Nightingales play a critical role when fighting Retriever Sentinels; always bring at least two Nightingales to keep healing your troops.
*The Retriever Sentinel in this level possess an energy shield, unlike on the level ''[[The Halo]]'', in which the Retriever Sentinel is unshielded. Be mindful of how much its shields has recharged each time.
*Makes sure to rescue all UNSC forces captured by the Banished, this will help them even better.
*Nightingales play a critical role when fighting the Retriever Sentinel; always bring at least two Nightingales to keep healing your troops.
*The Grizzly Battalion leader power can deploy three Grizzly tanks that deal heavy damage, but they occupy a large percentage of your population.

===Optional and Bonus Objectives===
{{Ref/Sources}}
*A rear attack is the best solution for dealing with Controller Sentinels.
**Have one unit act as distraction and have anti-air units like Wolverines attack from its rear.
**Alternatively, use the holo-decoy to create a horde of your units since Sentinels often prioritize their attacks on the holo-decoys.
*After teleporting to the first Banished base, send all your troops away from the Controller Sentinel. Instead, only send the ODST hero unit to help the Controller Sentinel with defeating the Banished units. Once the Banished units are destroyed, the Controller Sentinel will destroy the base, which contributes four out of the five required buildings for the optional objective. The same Controller Sentinel may even destroy the Banished sensor tower next to the Tower A as the fifth building. Alternatively, a Controller Sentinel can be led to the Banished minibase near Tower B. Destroy the Banished units between the center area and Tower B, but only weaken the minibase before capturing Tower B, so the Controller Sentinel can easily destroy the minibase while encountering very little Banished resistance.
*The Controller Sentinels are marked with yellow stars on the minimap. Send multiple units to a nearby location, then send in holo-decoys to the Controller Sentinels.
*The two Goliaths are located near the two Banished bases, one at each base.
*The first Banished holo-projector is located at the portal. It must be activated to proceed with the level. The second holo-projector is located at the Banished base north of Control Tower B. The third and final holo-projector is located between Control Tower D and the central terminal.
*Rescue the Wolverines after having maxed our your population but before activating the central terminal. This will give you a larger force than what would be typically possible to fight the Retriever Sentinel.
