Walkthrough

1
As soon as the mission begins, prioritize building anti-air defenses.
2
After your initial metal extractor and solar collector, build either a vehicle or kbot plant.
3
Construct a few Jethros or Samsons, followed by a construction vehicle.
4
If CORE planes are still a threat, have your construction vehicle build a Defender.
5
Utilize the abundant thermal vents to create a significant power surplus.
6
After placing geothermal power plants, build 10-12 metal makers to boost your metal income.
7
You can build a fusion power plant and a Big Bertha cannon in this mission.
8
The optimal location for the Bertha is on the rocky outcrop near the center of the map, allowing it to fire on the Abutment.
9
Place an advanced radar tower near the Abutment for comprehensive radar coverage of the top, though some areas may be obscured by radar jammers.
10
Use the Bertha to shell all visible red blips; the objective is destruction, not capture.
11
Prepare for ground assaults by building heavy defenses, such as a ring of Sentinels and Defenders around the path down the Abutment. Position these structures slightly back from the cliff face for optimal firing solutions.
12
Deploy scout planes to patrol the pathway.
13
Build a small strikeforce of Brawlers to defend your structures from mobile artillery and Diplomats.
14
Maintain anti-air defenses throughout the mission, as air strikes will continue, albeit less frequently than at the start.
15
Once all visible targets are destroyed by the Bertha, use scout planes to locate units hidden by radar jammers.
16
Prioritize destroying the radar jammer to reveal and eliminate any hidden units.

Tips

The map's numerous thermal vents are key to achieving a massive power surplus.
Placing the Big Bertha on the central rocky outcrop provides excellent firing range onto the Abutment.
Defensive structures like Sentinels and Defenders should be placed slightly back from the cliff edge for better firing angles.
Scout planes are useful for both patrolling pathways and hunting down hidden units.
Brawlers are effective against mobile artillery and Diplomats.
Don't underestimate late-game air strikes; keep your anti-air capabilities strong.
Destroying radar jammers is crucial for revealing and eliminating hidden enemy units.
