Been steam rolling through these brutal missions until I got to the last protoss mission where you have to hold out for so long against zerg/hybrid waves. I get like maybe 2 minutes after the void ray guy shows up then it seems nearly impossible to coherently organize a defense to guard all 3 entrances so I'm leaning towards a giant ball tactic but the research goal gets destroyed with that strat. I also tried mass cannon which got massacred. Interested to see what work for you guys...
What I did on hard is station Zealots and Immortals at every entrance with Colossi, Warp Rays and Phoenix as support. When the attacks came Colossi and Zealots would rape the standard Zerg, Immortals tanked the Hybrids while Phoenix levitated them into the air and Warp Rays focused fire on them. As long as you're quick with the Phoenix to keep the Hybrids out of the fight, you should have a much easier time. I had eight Warp Gates to keep my Zealots in the action since they'll die fast. If you can spare the supply, naturally have some High Templar around. Mass cannons work as a stalling tactic, but don't rely on them. What I did was when I got overwhelmed, fall back to the southern part of the base and make cannons all along the edges there.
So yeah, Colossi and Zealots can handle most of the ground Zerg, Phoenix and Warp Rays for the Hybrids. Mutalisks and Brood Lords, Phoenix and Warp Rays can handle them fine too.
Yeah, I'm on the same part now (on Brutal). I tried it once last night and got worked after killing about 1,200.
When I beat it on Hard I basically kept all three entrances blocked w/ pylons and had multiple colossus at each entrance. Wasn't working this time because I was constantly short on money.
Now im somewhat stuck, now having problems with the train missions but still looking for suggestions, done every other missions thus far aside from bc mission.
ugh, block with DT's, press the H button and block those three roads, make some immortals meanwhile cause they will be usefull later on
oh and with your phoenixes kill Oversers
Thats crazy haha but ill try it for sure, its got to me complicated than that XD
I just mased DT' at all entrances, and copletely blocked all routes. And i had one of the each hero air units and their divisions at each choke to kill any observers. At main entrance voidrays and mothership( i also had some ground units there, since it was the most atcked entrance, they were also cloked by the mothership), left cariers, right scouts, each of them prepared to snipe any overseers. After a few minutes i was swiming in money, since i barely lost any units. And sincei had nothing more to spend on, i just mased canons like crazy, till i didn't have any more place to build them upon.
I got up till 3000 kills, and only died because of the mass nydus worms spawning everywhere in my base and epic mases of broodlords X_x that camed later on 2.5k +.
Well, looking for train mission tips, but never thought of dts it ought to work with a couple tries, this train mission seems twice as frustrating.... cause of speed
Im getting rofl stomped now around 1700 ish kills any idea when artansis arives I think I got extremely close once but not sure, its kind of crazy how some of these brutal missions are like hair on knife.
Yeah, this is what I did last night. I easily could have held out to about 3,500 kills on Brutal with this tactic, but once I got over 2,500 I kind of didn't care. Ended up with about 3,234 I believe (forgot there was an achievement for reaching 3,250...)Quote:

-Also, be sure you save somewhat often and be ready to kill all the overseers so they don't expose your DTs
I simply massed stalkers and colossi just behind the archive and when I was out of gas I made cannons at the 2 ramp leading to the base. I also quickly upgraded my infantry to 3/3/3. Simple as that.
I just beat myself in the head with a book, similar to monty python, until I memorized the locations and spawns of the overseers, im on maw of the void now. 22/26 Brutal Missions Done
