Operation: Afterburn tips & tricks

Commanders,

With the event starting soon, I want to give you all a few tips about what to expect when fighting Goro Tazaki’s Ryu-Kai forces.

RETURN OF STRATEGY

The Ryu-Kai employ awesome flame-based firepower in their bases. However, their aggressive nature has led them to build bases that have weaknesses that skilled players can exploit. Look carefully at each base to determine an attack strategy.

PRIORITY TARGETS:

POWER PLANTS

Power plants fuel the destructive capabilities for all turrets. Taking these out will power down the base, reducing all turret fire rates by 50%.

ION DAMAGE TURRET

Ion Damage turrets pack a hard-hitting ion blast that will deplete shields on units. These turrets will quickly break Vanquisher shields, exposing them to the full firepower inside Ryu-Kai bases; so, be very cautious with your Vanquishers!

 

Pro Tip 1 – Attack the Ryu-Kai power plants first on the level 35 fortress base with air units. This will shut down all power, making turrets less effective. Be cautious when deploying ground units, Scorcher and Torch flame tanks are standing guard against enemy attacks.

Pro Tip 2 – Some Ryu-Kai bases will have airborne platforms. When approaching a base, destroy these turret platforms with units that can attack air before launching a ground attack.

Pro Tip 3 – The Scorpion and Vanquisher will be very useful when attacking Ryu-Kai bases. Be careful, without proper support and preparations your Scorpions and Vanquisher’s will not be as effective.

Pro Tip 4 – The Ryu-Kai have increased the number of ground units defending bases. Be cautious, there may be rare appearances of air units defending some bases.

Trick 1 – Hover tanks, Razorbacks, Hellfire tanks, and Hellstorms work well with drawing enemy fire. Be very careful, because units too close together will get hit by long range attacks. Make sure to spread out your units!

Trick 2 – Bait enemy units by attacking barricades and buildings. Drawing these enemies closer can expose them to splash damage, helping to remove potential threats.

Trick 3 – Valkyries work great in cave bases. They can quickly eliminate anti-ground turrets, providing an access point for your ground units to stage an attack.

Trick 4 – Energy, fire and corrosion damage is helpful when attacking Warden/Guardian and Torch/Scorcher units. This tech is also handy with destroying Ryu-Kai buildings.
