Battleground Missions Too Hard? [Master Hero]

Continent 1 Tier 5
Master Hero

These are definitely the most difficult thing I have come across in the game. Where every other mission is definitely doable and sometimes very easy, Battleground missions seem relatively impossible. (Though I just got to the Overlord and... that's going to be a problem)

The only time I have ever gotten a decent position half-way across the map (3 out of 16 times) is because the magma rhinos bugged out (I guess) and simply stopped right in front of the ally robots, negating a ton of damage the enemies should be dealing. Was not successful on those missions even then.

Any thoughts/suggestions for this mission?

I find the best thing is to charge the towers and take them out quickly with a spell like Ice/Death Touch that should give you some breathing room

On master hero, these missions do require alot of skill, firstly consider an incredibly high attack hero, around 250-300, as you need to kill enemies fast, remember you can go back to the base to heal yourself, kill all flying enemies as they will just target your base, use summons such as rhino to drive them back, as you can see the enemies on the map a timed teleport can get you passed the lines take out a tower with ice burst or death touch then port back to behind your minions. Hope this helps.

Victory!


So the fundamental problem I had was that I was using a low attack hero.
This doesn't make sense in this mission type because this mission is all about preventing damage to your robots, not survival. [Killing enemies prevents their potential damage]

So mystery solved, thanks guys.

One gripe I will mention is that while this is the most fun I've had in a while, the reward payout should scale higher due to the time it took to do a mission. [Maybe I was just slow?].

Generaly I found these one of the quickest misison types.

thing to remember are that peircing is disbaled, so some spells put out a lot less damage, and using the bots as meatsheilds is only effective if you can kill towers/rhinos or such quite quickly.

I find that the various "wrath" scrolls are really good for this mission type.   Grab at least a Moderate scroll for whatever main element you use and use that before the mission, particularly with a high-damage character.   Wreck those blasted towers before they can do much.

Also The Flares don't do anything in multi-player, the robo-allies stand for like 2 seconds then keep running on to their death.
