Master Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's 'Symphony of Steel' mission on Shogun's Alley. Learn strategies for defeating Kenji's Steel Ronin and Archers with Soviet, Allied, or Imperial forces.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Establish defenses, building Anti-Armour Infantry and Anti-Infantry Armour to counter Kenji's Archers and Steel Ronin respectively.
  2. 2
    Consider securing an extra Ore Node or two to boost your economy.
  3. 3
    Build up a squad of Tanks and send them to Kenji's northern base. Use special abilities to destroy the compound.
  4. 4
    Repeat the process for Kenji's other bases, being mindful of the Steel Ronin.
  5. 5
    If your Tanks face heavy resistance, deploy Infantry and Support Armour to assist them. Tanks can also run over Archers.
Tips
  • Soviets: Tesla Troopers' EMP fields can disable Ronin (watch for Archers). Hammer Tanks can steal Ronin glaives. Sickles can quickly kill Archers by leaping onto them. Engineer Battle Bunkers offer extra protection.
  • Allies: Multigunner Turrets are effective against Steel Ronin and Archers.
  • Imperials: Avoid relying heavily on aircraft as Archers can destroy them quickly. Yuriko can engage Steel Ronin individually. A Sudden Transport can be useful.
  • VX4 Strategy (Imperial): Rush two of Kenji's bases with 2 Dojos each. Use Warriors against Archers and Tankbusters against Steel Ronin. Do not sell your MCV; build Generators, Refineries, and a Mecha Bay for VX production. After clearing two bases, rally your infantry at the third and level it, ambushing with VXs from the rear. Capture a Hospital for increased unit survivability and the Veteran Academy in the middle.
