Targets:
1. Acquire 5 Lacerators (10% drop chance during the 1st mission in this location) and 2 Infestor Tanks (5% drop chance during the 2nd mission) to fill requirements to do the first three missions from this location.
OR
Acquire Brood Mother (5% drop chance during the 3rd mission), 6 lacerators and 2 Infestor Tanks to complete all the missions from this Location and unlock the last Mission to get the Fission Charge Structure. For non War Chippers this is one of the ultimate Structures that you will keep using once you get all the best mission and collection units from War Metal.
2. During the 2nd mission you will get your FIRST Epic unit: Infestor Tank. Those are special units allowed to deal higher damage against Epic Bosses. Keep collecting as many as posible if you already started to do Epic Bosses (Hachtling Swarms, Chimeras...) and started to raise your stamina.
The highest damage you could deal to an Epic Boss with the less attacks, will give you a better efficience for your stamina and hence, will make you progress faster.
3. During the 3rd mission (The Bloodnest) you will need to obtain the Brood Mother if you are willing to continue advancing till the last mission, for The Fission Charge. As soon as she drops, update your force replacing your weakest Commander (Rygar, or Thadius or Anastasia) with her.
4. In the walk trhough the 4th mission (The Fallen City) you could get dropped the Devastator Formation (6 Commanders; 20 Assault; 8 Structures) in that happens, update all your setups/forces.
5. As soon as you get Fission Charge or (if you want continue your fast progression and can wait) once unlocked the next location, move forward.
Chance Loot: Lacerator (60/40), 10% Chance
Advice:
Don't bother use them. You could replace Knights by Lacerators because the higher damage (2.5 vs 2.4 average damage) but then the enemy The Oracle will burnst you. So better get rid on Lacerators.
Chance Loot: Infestor Tank (50/55), 5% Chance
Advice:
Infestor Tanks are going to be useful for you in Hatchling Swarms because his high damage against Epic Bosses. Don't use them into your PvP setup.
Chance Loot: Brood Mother (70/30), 5% Chance
Advice:
If you get Brood Mother droped during this mission, replace your current weakest Commander with her. To allow her to reinforce the best Bloodthirty unit, place in the Reinforcement slots Lacerator.
Chance Loot: Formation: Devastator (6/20/8), 5% Chance; Component: Infested Beacon, 2% Chance
Chance Loot: Structure: Fission Charge (Blastwave damage 8-22, Proc rate: 60%), 5% Chance
Advice:
If you want keep a PVE improvement, continue to the next location.
If you want a PVP improvement, complete this mission and update your formation with Devastator and continue to Reactor Breach.
Advice:
If you want keep a PVP formation strong, this Structure will be a heavy improvement, but if it doesn't drop soon, don't desperate and continue to the next location.
