1 Quick Tip For Every StarCraft 2 Mission

[@GiantGrantGames]

This is by far the most common video request I get, so uhh...enjoy!

[@zurnar1000]

We still enjoy Every Every video

[@gregoirebasseville4797]

Never thought of requesting this, but thanks ! I started doing the 100% completion brutal runs a bit ago. Did fine on WoL until In Utter Darkness, where I got stuck. Ran over the entire HotS campaign, came back, still can't get halfway through... I'll see if immortals were the answer, thanks !

[@kottebtorsson8966]

The answer is either dt walls until overseers are too much to manage, or collosus into void ray into carrier. Mineral dump cannons. You don't have to expand.

[@artur3667]

On The Reckoning you don't have to defend Jim at all, except for the scripted special attack waves. He might lose a bunker, but will rebuild it, as long as you don't cover that spot with creep. My advice is to just rush the other side. To save Jim from scripted attack waves, save your ult. If you fire it at the attack wave, it's guaranteed to be off cooldown before the next scripted attack hits. Another advice is to take it slow (unless you go for achievement). Mass your army at home and spread creep, only push when you're bored of massing army. Once all 3 allies are unlocked, as long as you don't mess up your defense against a random attack wave, together with Jim they can win this without your help (though it takes them a very long time, so consider helping).

[@twobit96]

Main question, why were you able to count up to 23 with your fingers and toes?! How do you have three extra digits?! Also thanks for the video, enjoyed it a ton, can't wait to see your next video in 3 months!

[@CanDellJack]

_"I lost count after 23, when I ran out of fingers and toes to count on."_ Grant, I think I finally understand how you micro so well. That 8-fingered left hand can do a lot of hot-key work.

[@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK]

I worry this openning line will just lead to more difficulty elitism in the GGG community 😟

[@canadaemu]

One thing about the bouncy purple banelings on brutal: the Brutal AI, if I recall correctly, tries to kite away from banelings. This makes the bouncy banelings jump at the enemy but not detonate since the enemy has moved away. The bounce also causes the baneling to pause awkwardly for about half a second, during which time it'll likely be killed without its explosion causing substantial damage. So, I think splitter banelings are better than the bouncy banelings on brutal exclusively because of this AI behaviour.

[@justanoman6497]

If you want to really use banelings, yes, use splitter. But if you don't, get a few bouncing boys and it makes enemy AI run about instead of attacking half the time, letting your actual army kill them much easiesr.

[@Antidragon-nl7by]

Also, if you use Kerrigan's "summon Baneling" ability, splitters provide far more bang for your buck.

[@ashohkawa2419]

Fun fact: in Waking the Ancient, the difficulty of the attack waves are dependent on how much meat you've turned in, but the primals can't destroy harvested meat globs, so if you just burrow your drone before it tosses the meat in Zurvan's mouth, you can pile all 7 up in front of him, never face anything harder than the initial enemy encounters, and once you turn in all the meat, trigger every voice line one after the other before Brakk comes out. Also, Critical Queen Mass finally got me the "Premature Evacuation" achievement after quite literally 2 years of attempts, so major thanks for that

29:28 MegaThicc was his name in highschool the best tips for missions, I've found are in this order: - Which units are best for a mission. Which missions unlocked units you shouldnt use, ex: reapers are bad but unlocked in a good reaper mission, hellions arent. Just because you get a new unit doesnt mean you should go for it, unless you want to try it out for fun and not be more optimal. - What is the build order supposed to look like. Knowing if you should rush an expansion, upfront army, macro one base, attack a location... This is tied to knowing the enemy pattern, so test runs are fine and not a failure. - Which are the hard missions. This is important because the dificulty curb in this campaings is weird and a rollercoaster, sometimes it made me mad or disheartened, and felt is was doing things wrong when it's just a hard mission early on.

[@lunathompson-aue1968]

Pianist here, currently working on all achievements and just got gold on lost viking a few days before release of this video. If you're gonna insist on actually spamming the spacebar yourself, use your middle three fingers instead of your thumbs! Ctrl really isn't that far away, especially with a little practice, and that way you can get the motion supported from your wrist instead of the awkward and less central thumb joint. Spamming for several hours without pain was definitely possible for me, although not realistic if you don't find a way to relax into it and use the minimum amount of energy necessary for it. No shame in downloading the auto spam though, seriously. Years of both drumming and piano meant that I didn't even think about the spamming as a problem, but please treat your wrists kindly, they're the only ones you'll get 😅

[@minhtao4058]

As someone who has spent a lot more time replaying Endgame than I should have (though much less than Grant), go mass Marauder (Super stim) & Goliath (Range). ESPECIALLY Marauders. None of the Xanthos' weapons are particularly effective against Marauders. The flamethrower and fighters don't chew through the bulk of superstimmed Marauders fast enough, and you can produce far more Marauders than the Railgun can reasonably kill. Superstim speed makes dodging Missile barrages easy. Marauders are also great for busting bases protected by Siege tank and bunkers, since they can eat the damage and burn down the defenses before too much damage is done. You can also stim and kite attack waves just like with Marines. The only reason Goliaths are here is because you need AA. Going mass Marauder also makes the early game much more approachable and comfy, since you don't have to worry about or spend much resources teching up. Your mineral-to-gas ratio also keeps the production speedy. Marauders are great here.

[@ThisIsntAYoutuber]

I wouldn’t recommend the goliath. I had the same idea as you, but when I tried to use Goliaths for anti-air, all of them got Yamato’d to bits before they could fire enough missiles to kill a BC, leaving me with Nova and a sizeable force of marauders.

[@AtticusKarpenter]

I think they say that in the mission? But maybe not

[@RobotnikPlays]

Honestly, the first time I did The Drill, after losing once, I ended up doing the "float a building over and target structures with the drill" trick. Even if you ONLY take out the right-most base, that's one less set of enemies rallying and you can push up your bottom defenders to the door, using them to poke at the top-most rallying attackers. This reduces the pressure on the left side and leaves your secondary base/mineral line pretty safe

[@bahamutknight5783]

I didn't played Touhou Games, but the Lost Viking minigame reminded me of another game that I used to play when I was a kid, it's called Demonstar and the remastered version of this game is available on Steam, that's why when I saw Lost Viking for the first time it reminded me of this game.

[@AleksanderDrako]

At this point, I need a lesson about resource saturation because: a) I have no grasp how much is enough for what I need b) x/12 and such over command center sounds like a requirement that I have to fulfil no matter what. (which on 1 base missions might not be as perfect)

[@amplesstratleholm7609]

Basically go for 2/3 of the saturation on minerals and you're good. Campaign and co-op recommends 3 workers/mineral, while ladder recommends 2/mineral which already gives you 90% or so efficiency. Still gotta go 3/3 on gas, though some maps where the gas is a bit far from your CC might want you to go 4/3.

[@AleksanderDrako]

@@amplesstratleholm7609 oh, that is helpful. I know that in SC1 my gut feeling was to have like 2 maybe mental 1,8 worker per mineral cluster.

[@Penguiniel]

after you buy the orbital command and multi-build upgrades, you sometimes should instead spend your starting minerals and multibuild some command centers. you don't need more scvs, mules mine faster.

[@Jason-MOT]

[@MetalMan1245]

Fun fact I learned awhile ago, you don't actually have to beat Salvation or the Epilogue on Legacy of the Void to get 100% Brutal win, I'm unsure how it works but I'm pretty sure the Prologue mission count, but the achievement only asks you to beat 19 mission, the length of the actual campaign, so if my hypothesis is correct you can skip 3 missions on Brutal and still get the achievement, possibly 6 but the Epilogue missions were way harder for me than the proper campaign, especially since I never thought of the Mutalisk cheese.

[@Evan-mt7bc]

For a general tip for all 3 campaign regarding base defense. 1 Bunker of Marines is amazing for Wings. Most attack waves will either get slaughtered or so insanely beaten up that even the most suboptimal reinforcement will clean it up, stick a tank behind it and pretty much every single attack with your Marine Bunker will literally not harm you and you never have to go home to defend. For HotS, just creep spread a carpet home, enemy attack waves will get hung up on creep tumors and give you ample time to respond and run back home, it's not worth making static defense. Just be ready to run home when your creep tumors start dying. Build a Queen and get 3 Tumors active to spread creep. Even if you're not good at creep spread just spamming them whenever you remember is enough For LOTV, 3 Shield Batteries are amazing. Get in the habit of making a control group of your main army units instead of F2ing before you leave your base then your reinforcements just rally to your Shield Batteries. Whenever they clean up a wave F2, reset your army control group and repeat ad infinitum. Your base gets attacked infrequently enough that your shield batteries will always have maximum energy for every attack. Don't have to memorize attack wave timings and run home and you can skip Photon Cannons, you can add them if you want if you aren't confident in your macro. For Nova, the Marine bunker again is your friend but this time omit the tank. Your Marines are so strong in this campaign that the Bunker alone is enough.

[@Knowbody42]

On the Spear of Adun mission, it's way easier if you slowly clear out the units and spines without activating any of the power cells, and then once they're all cleared out, just activate them all at once. Because each time you activate a power cell, it starts sending more and more powerful attack waves at you.

[@gehirndoper]

For the 3rd Protoss Aiur mission, an essential tip is to not clear creep from the power cells right away, as this triggers certain events (nydus & shuttle waves). You can clear them all at once to skip them.

[@Floxxoror]

Fighting the enemy: This is tight! Fighting the enemy after watching this video: Super easy, barely an inconvenince!

[@mumblecake251]

Regarding the Lost Vikings I'd say: after several playthroughs you will make a note what you usually die to. If it's the boss fights: focus on the plasma upgrades. If you die to being overwhelmed by trash mobs and their projectiles: get the spread laser upgrades. For me the laser spread worked better. It also means that you will get more points on a playthrough which will likely spare you the third terran boss fight.

[@GeneralFatman27]

I have a funny one for the stukov temple mission. If you wait for a few minutes with kerrigan during the very beginning, and you have her ultimate abilities, you can summon the primals or the leviathan and start the mission with those, giving you a ton of extra early firepower.

Thank you! This is honestly making me want to redownload Battlenet and replay the SC2 campaigns. Btw, I loved you before, but I am absolutely *elated* to know that you're a touhou fan!
