Yes air unit is easy for normal, but when i try brutal then it was crazy, they come from all direction and hardly defend (i use the cloaked ghost keep sniper broodlord like how people do in youtube but i barely survive until last wave at 99.7% recharge and overrun by them) So i restart and take out air unit and try again, using siege tank defend + banshee kill nydus worm and manage to win in 1 try. rclxms.gif Finally completed all brutal..

I found 2 brutal mission is super insane for me where i so frustrated retrying:
1) Engine Of Destruction - So hard to protect stupid Odin drove by damn Tycus, can you just wait a while before you continue push? I hope i can use my SVC to stop you moving, hmm maybe you guy can try build building block him from moving to enemy base?
2) All In - Crazy Kerrigan + Air Unit

lucky i got BC for that mission, i simply go BC and destroy any big threats b4 he moves in, and scv repairing it while it attacking isnt a good idea, always being destroyed, so i had science vessels following and repairing it, only use scv when it stopped moving. I think banshee should do the trick too, you dont have to destroy everything b4 it, just destroy those who able to damage it hard, like siege tanks, and maybe some factories/barracks that non-stop producing, siege tanks are too slow, and ya you need to worry about enemy BC, as the Odin takes too long to destroy it while others are attacking odin.

Agreed. One of the hardest achievements. That stupid Tychus deserved his death at the end of the campaign.

Will need to have Science Vessel research prior to this mission. I used 4 Science Vessels + 7 SCVs to keep Odin above 30% all the time.

BTW, nice idea of building structures around him to prevent him from moving. Definitely going to try this later!

Opps sorry sorry. I mean the Ragnarok & Roll achievement. Haven't tried the brutal mode yet. Guess I'm not at the level yet because I even have problem keeping him 30% at hard mode! Lol...

oh. why need so many la? smile.gif i only have 3 SCV i think. can't remember got science vessel. one thing for sure i got quite some siege tanks and marines accompanying it. and also vikings and banshees.

when he's resting, you can put your other units in front, or at least you save game when he's resting.

from my experience, the toughest part is the 2nd last part where all the starport is. i lost a lot of units there. the final push not that bad la, spam marine and a few siege tank. got a few BC there.

i done that hard mode challenge without any BC.

huh? are you all talking at the tychus who are wearing Thor shirt called Odin mission?

I have totally no problem in achieving the 30% life achievement..just use ur scv to follow and repair him all the time..at this mission i sent 3 scvs follow behind and then I focus on banshee + vikings to win the game..

remember put 2 siege tank + few missele turret at base to prevent enemy can d....then focus build air plane and call down ur mechanary units...

Looking at this, you already have Banshees & BC before attending this mission. Guess I should do the same, have all other missions completed & get Banshees, BC etc. ready so that I can have more firepower.

You attended this mission last prior to flying to Char?

ehh no leh i don't use BC. biggrin.gif see, even Ray also use same way.

remember that Banshee has damn nice DPS, good for clearing siege tanks and such. and you can cloak too! after all sensors removed, it's all free whacking.

clear off the siege tanks cos they do damage most to your Thor and also the SCV around it. have about 4 - 5 vikings around is good.

Oh ok thanks for all the tips. Going to try those out.

Yeah who needs little Wraiths while you can have Banshees? They're definitely among the most useful Terran weapons. Even better when coupling with Vikings. (Plus they are piloted by hot chicks).

banshees can't hit air units la. enemy also have vikings and banshees ya know. and you'll best help take down the BC cos Odin takes time to destory the BC.

i think i recall reading somewhere that only one science vessel can repair one unit at any time, so even if you bring 5 vessels your healing output to odin isn't high.

on the other hand you could theoretically spam scv's and they would all repair him at once.

also, odin has killer ground attack but (relatively) weak air attack.

SCV sometimes a bit stupid la. after repairing Odin also they run go repair other things. tongue.gif into line of fire.

SV on the other hand, it less at risk cos it's in the air and bring a few so it also heals your other units.......... including SCV.

I find the Science Vessel's rate of repair is quite decent.

Also considering that it's air unit where you can repair everywhere.

me got 3

SV doesnt repair, it heals, so it require energy, scv repair need resource, repair is faster, but if you use repair in the middle of a fight, very high chance they are dead b4 u can pull them back. few SV cause 1 SV cant non-stop healing, they need to regen their energy, so few of them will ensure there are enough energy plus, they also healing each other incase something attack them(quite rare cause most units cant attack air). i only use scv repair when it stopped attacking.

Well said. Both SV and SCV have pros and cons. I only start repairing Odin using SCVs at the second last base which has lots of Air Units. At other points SVs should be sufficient. I'm only playing Hard Mode though.
