Starcraft II: Nova Infiltration Specialist Revisited

Starcraft II Co-Op Mission: Dead of Night
Nova's Infiltration Specialist gives Nova a supercloak, and improves her abilities, butt at the cost of removing the ASSault mode. To maximize this, I played the worst map by flying all my buildings to the REAR of the map and letting Nova do literally all of the work.

i feel like that targeting circle is slightly too small, the number of times you thought you missed but actually hit

[@alrightylol]

Playing that right now, its damn sick. U can split ur army. Main forces doin 1 thing, and nova blowing up by herself. On night of the dead its damn sick. U can do it insanely fast with Bio+nova

[@warmachine5835]

This kinda speaks to what I've settled into as my 'general' playstyle with P3 Nova--my army does army things, with Nova staying one objective ahead of them, clearing out bases and defenses long before the main force arrives. So instead of a big base at the end on Rifts to Korhal, for instance, all that is left is some heavily damaged buildings and a handful of hybrids. Instead of having to fight tons of enemies at each shard on Scythe of Amon, Nova wipes out 50-80% of the defenders at each shard with nukes and sabos before the army even rolls up.

*One WAMEN army* Very good prestige, army defends attack waves or goes to bonus objectives, Nova blows stuff up to clear the path. A very good prestige for Liberators are they just do things that Nova herself can't. However this prestige is only good if you don't go F2-A move all the time, without control groups you'll just end up with a slow-pushing Nova.

I wonder if it's possible to rush a pride of augustgrad as mengsk before the first night, or a horner BC, yes, i know it's totally unnecessary, but hey, why not, right? think it's worth the try?

[@Helycon]

I doubt it, it might be constructing already but the time to build the tech structures is a little too long I think

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@Helycon perhaps the horner one since you don't have build time, but i agree that it's not easy, but i think it would be a challenge to someone that knows build orders and stuff

[@Helycon]

@@Ricardo_Rick well on mengsk I believe the speed build with 8 scvs so I think that would make up for it but I'm not sure

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@Helycon mengsk p2 might be able to

[@zeratultemplar6604]

probably, i would be up to try it.

[@killedr6621]

you can alternatively save some minerals for defensive drones or tac airlift as a few lifelines

[@MiH1IT]

Will fireworks target Nova if she uses sabotage drone, nuke or air strike?

[@Helycon]

There's no friendly fire so no, she doesn't take damage from it

[@MiH1IT]

@@Helycon Just tested it, it WILL target and hurt Nova. Fireworks just target several closest ally units and if Nova is close enough, it will target her supercloak or not. Does not matter how enemy unit died.

[@dominiumbrasilis]

My sugestion is use p0, p1 or p2 and spam airstrike. If we spam airtrike most time we dont need any units.

[@1MpUrO]

what about doing exactly that, but with a base

[@chaosmarine113]

So does this mean Nova can also solo void shards and cradle of death?

[@szymongliniecki2098]

Shards need to take lots of dmg, not sure, can bombs destroy them alone. On cradle of death you gotta protect tracks

[@HibiscusOrchid]

I wouldnt say solo but she can definitely prep every area by herself, needing only the cleanup crew for those tanky obj

[@doctort2853]

Maybe click on the mini map so you don’t accidentally attack any enemy unit

[@darilcastillo9240]

What a cheese 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Poor Amon. That was funny. Can you play fisrt Nova prestige but without Liberators? Please

[@NikA-ge6gl]

Yeah that would be cool. Maybe mass mechanics on temple of the past so you can spam spidermines at the void thrashing spawns.

[@darilcastillo9240]

@@NikA-ge6gl I like the Bio composition more than nothing. Oh well, Tanks, Hellbats and Goliats are good too for a static defense. And more cost eficient. O Banshes and Ravens too. Liberators are my last option. They require too many macro and are so gas extensive. Thats why I not like that so much. (Sorry If my english is bad. Probably I sound like Tarzan 😅. I still learnig)

[@NikA-ge6gl]

@@darilcastillo9240 nah your good and yeah you make good points. Bio composition is fun and good but one good placement from a archon or tempest with its ability and your army goes out but I get your point

[@mateiduma646]

@@darilcastillo9240 I have no problem managing with libs micro, but the gas cost is so not fun.

[@Jun64466]

Would be better if you showcased this with a defensive teammate, or even better, with a more offensive teammate commander forced to play defensively. Meanwhile you're out there with Nova destroying buildings and building units for defense, speedrunning the map. this cheese fails if your teammate is zerg or protoss...

[@edschramm6757]

me and a buddy actually went the opposite way with it. he takes p3 zeratul next to my p3 nova. and we blitz the map out. we have had a couple instances where we actually finish before day 3 starts

[@Phyloraptor]

Karax P3 next

[@snowdrop9810]

This is the most abusable map by far
