Nuke VS Leang (Hard) - C&C Zero Hour Speedrun

[@pod9458]

How long you've playing generals?

She is quite easy to beat for a final boss. General Alexander is much harder to beat on Hard especially on the early game. But once you get her super weapons under control, it’s manageable

I've heard plenty of people who complain about trying to fight General Alexander, mostly because the auroras just feel so unfair if you don't go out of your way to bait their bombs out. But she doesn't have any escalation of her attacks. Once you can manage her attacks (and super weapons, like you said), you are free to defeat her with your strategy of choice. Leang, however, escalates her attack patterns. Hard difficulty looks doable here because I beat her way before she really cranks up the attacks. She becomes quite scary at about 25 minutes into the match. If you're using an army to block her attacks, her weapon strike will likely target and devastate it. She also begins to send hero units that will mess with your mojo if you don't look out for them (Black Lotus capping your artillery platforms, for example). For casual players who don't know what to expect, Leang is a fitting final boss challenge because of the wide variety of things that have to be dealt with, as well as the ramping up of difficulty to keep you constantly on your toes. The sense of pride and accomplishment from prevailing against that is definitely well-deserved and cannot be bought with any price.

God I hate this general so much. Good idea expanding across the bridge.

[@SketchTVGaming]

Thanks! I think most people take one look at the tank patrol and the bunkers across the bridge and nope out. You'll be surprised how much can be achieved with a bit of learning the map and planning for what you'll face.

im sorry if this is a bit late but how do you attack general leang? if it is a mod can you tell me the name?

[@SketchTVGaming]

3 nukes to kill her power, bunker helixes full of tank hunters to kill the structures. This is vanilla ZH, patch 1.04. Most people would have this version I think :)

You probably had different strategy and tactic in other video where you beat her under 14 minutes , this seem too long for you man ! 😅

[@SketchTVGaming]

This is a really old strategy. As you've seen, I've really improved since!
