Mission 4 - part 2 | Hierarchy UaW: EA Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Third objective: Escort the Purifier to the Material Uplink

Make sure that all Lost One units are currently stationed somewhere near the Purifier. It's very important, because your Walker is going to be attacked by a small group of enemy air units. You will have to take them out as soon as possible. Thankfully, these attacks won't be repeated in the future. You'll also be given reinforcements. New units will arrive from the northern base. You can't control the Hierarchy units stationed there, however it's not a problem. Wait for the flying saucers to show up here. Take your time to familiarize yourself with their ability. Activating the Repair Mode allows them to repair nearby units. Choose this mode and wait for the Purifier to regain full strength. You should also remember that your saucers can't attack enemy forces while being in Repair Mode.

Now you will have to start moving south-east. Your main hero will encounter several enemy tanks along the way. It would be a good idea to allow your flying saucers to take part in this battle, because enemy units can't defend themselves against air attacks. You will have to secure the surrounding area. You'll come across A LOT of resources here. Make sure that your Reaper Drone starts collecting those (screen). You will also come across a new set of hydraulic pumps. You should capture them for obvious reasons. You can wait for the Reaper Drone to collect more resources or you can proceed to the north right away. I wouldn't recommend waiting, because you won't need a lot of credits to win this mission. Ignore the fights which are taking place near your base. Select your Walker (The Purifier) and order it to start moving towards the Material Uplink building (5 on the map). Other units should also begin moving towards an allied base. Make sure that they're always stationed somewhere near the Purifier. As for the Reaper Drone, leave it near the resource stockpile, because it won't be attacked by anyone.

Fourth objective: Defend Nufai and the Purifier while Nufai activates the Material Uplink

Fifth objective: Destroy the Novus base

These new objectives won't appear on your list unless the Purifier is close enough to the Hierarchy base and the Material Uplink building. Make sure that your Walker has stopped in the upper right corner of the map, because it'll be safe there. Enemy units will attack only the western side of your base, so that's where you'll have to move your troops. The good news is that you'll receive control over two other Walkers. The bad news is that you won't be able to modify their hardpoints. You can only move the Walkers on the map. Start off by summoning some Grunt units. You should also consider building more flying saucers. Leave the first group of saucers near the western turrets (screen), so they'll be able to repair them. Wait for your main army to reach the Hierarchy base before you decide to move on.

You will be allowed to move to the Novus base without any major preparations or delays. You will only have to make sure that your newly built flying saucers have repaired both Walkers. The saucers can patch up even serious damage as long as you give them some time. It's crucial that your Walkers don't have any unprotected hardpoints. Send your mechs to the west. Your main character and his army should go there as well. I would also recommend taking a second group of flying saucers, so they'll be able to heal your units once the main battle has started. Start moving south-west. As a result, you should choose the lower road loading to an enemy base (6 on the map). Doing this will allow you to avoid some of the enemy troops which are heading towards your main encampment. The base can defend itself, especially if the other group of saucers is repairing your turrets. Turn on the repair mode for your "Walker saucers" before you decide to get closer to Novus base.

You'll be moving west, however you should stop your Walkers once you're close enough to an enemy base (6 on the map). The entrance to the base is being guarded by a few powerful turrets (Redirection Turret). They are capable of bouncing back your projectiles, so you can't attack them with stronger units. Instead, allow your main army to eliminate the turrets (screen). You should also divide your troops into several smaller groups, so they'll be more scattered throughout the area. Also, don't forget to build more Grunt units in order to replace the killed ones. You will have to destroy all Redirection Turrets before moving on to your final destination.

The final phase of this mission is going to be relatively simple. Start moving your army towards the western base. You will have to eliminate a lot of tanks along the way, but soon you'll switch your attention to enemy buildings. Remember to destroy a Flow Generator in the first place. This will allow you to cripple enemy defences. Once this is done, focus on the main buildings and factories. You will have to destroy all Novus structures in order to succeed. Get ready for the next assignment.
