Learn the Chrono Legionaire rush strategy for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. Build a dozen Legionaires to overwhelm enemy bases.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once you have your Chrono Legionaires, scout the enemy's complete base by continuously teleporting out of the range of enemy weapons (using their special ability to move out of danger).
  2. 2
    Look for a relatively undefended area of the enemy base.
  3. 3
    If the enemy sends tanks or infantry to attack your scouting Legionaires, let them come to you.
  4. 4
    Teleport away when they are about to attack. Do not go too far, as the enemy may pursue.
  5. 5
    Wait for the pursuing enemy units to return to their base.
  6. 6
    Return to the undefended area and destroy any structures you can in the time you have. Prioritize destroying Power Plants to attempt to power down the enemy base.
  7. 7
    Move into the heavily defended area, likely where the important buildings are located.
  8. 8
    Concentrate your fire on one building at a time, rather than having one Chrono Legionaire attack alone.
  9. 9
    Chrono Legionaires are effective against tanks, which will have a harder time shooting at them.
  10. 10
    If a Chrono Legionaire is taking heavy fire, teleport it out of the danger zone immediately.
  11. 11
    Chrono Legionaires are very handy for avoiding enemy Kirov Airships, as they are fast enough to evade their attacks.
  12. 12
    You can split your Legionaires into groups to strike at two different points simultaneously, creating the impression of being in multiple places at once and potentially intimidating the enemy.
Tips
  • Chrono Legionaires are excellent for avoiding Kirov Airships.
  • Splitting your Legionaires can make the enemy feel like you are attacking in multiple locations at once.
  • Concentrate fire on a single target to maximize damage.
  • Teleport units out of danger if they are taking too much damage.
