Skykilla's Raid

Master Skykilla's Raid in Dawn of War II! Learn strategies for taking out enemies, capturing strategic assets, and defeating the boss with this expert guide.

Alright, let's get this mission done. First up, you'll want to head north and clear out any enemies you find there. This spot gives you a great overlook, so use it to your advantage against the next wave that shows up.

The map opens up quite a bit from here, so you've got some freedom to move. If you're aiming for that five-star rating, you'll need to be thorough with your enemy kills.

After that initial push, it's a good idea to head east. Your main goal here is to grab that strategic asset. Start moving that way – it's generally the easier route. When you get to the big enemy camp, you'll need to be super careful. There are a ton of enemies and bunkers that can chew you up fast if you're not paying attention. Your best bet is to have Cyrus use a demo charge from a safe distance to take out those buildings and encampments.

Once things are mostly clear, you can move in with your troops to secure the area and capture the asset. From there, you can push west, taking out any remaining enemies until you reach another strategic asset. You'll have a choice here: grab the communications array for orbital assaults or the foundry for turrets. Honestly, the turrets are probably more useful, especially with those defense missions that pop up later.

With the strategic asset and all the beacons secured, it's time to head north to SkyKilla's location. When he finally shows up, you'll see it's just him – good news! SkyKilla isn't a super tough boss, but watch out for his special attacks. He's got a ground smash that covers an area and a trio of explosives.

To dodge the ground smash, just back away when you see that big rune appear on the ground near him. Getting caught in that is rough, so avoid it if you can. The grenades are also pretty dangerous, but they're not too hard to avoid. Just keep moving when you see them coming, and get out of the blast radius before they detonate. Keep the pressure on with your gunfire, and he should go down without too much of a fight.
