Missions and Clear Conditions
Mission: Destroy all Artillery and Hydra Deathstacks
Clear Guide:
Team Recommendations:
- Scarecrow combat echelon with Phantom Step
- 1 Strong ARSMG with Shield Fairy
- 1 Parachute Dummy
Clear Steps
This map is overall very simple:
- Step on Artillery.
- Eliminate Hydras
The problematic part is that the Hydras need to be eliminated with an airstrike, and you only have ONE attempt. When Lyudmila activates the airstrike, her current node and all adjacent ones will be obliterated the next turn, including herself (she also doesn't need to survive over the endturn).
To make this very easy we split this into two parts:
- Eliminate all non-Hydra enemies (and cap helipads to prevent more).
- Bait Hydras.
Turn 1 can be copied directly, the following turns will need adjustment due to Random AI, but provided you remove all Cyclops from the map, you can run away from the Hydras and wait for them to reset entirely (2-3 turns at most) and then start the baiting process normally. Remember to bean the rocks on the far right side so the bottom right Hydra can move through that node.
I made some images showing the alert ranges and which 3 nodes to bait the Hydras on after a clean Alert Range reset.
If you somehow still mess up and leave 1 or 2 Hydras alive, you can abuse Scarecrow Shadows and/or Landmine fairy to slowly wittle it down to 1% hp and then fight it directly.
To clear this map we use:
Scarecrow with Phantom Step and Night Vision Accuracy chips. With a Manticore she can easily fight under enemy Artillery, just retreat the linked enemies before it hits.
A strong ARSMG with Shield Fairy, this can also fight under enemy Artillery! As always I recommend Suomod because she's amazing, but UMP45 should be fine as well. If you somehow forget to activate Shield Fairy, simply restart your client and activate auto-fairy in the settings (I needed to do this at one point as shown later in the video).
A Para dummy. This simply caps 1 Helipad on turn 1 and provides some extra AP.
Para Fairy is given for free through Career Quests:
