Chapter 17

[Goontrooper]

What is happening on this mission? I think it is still Chapter 17 but it just seems to keep going with cutscenes and then major changes to map states. I've now received Stormdrake Guards and need to kill the Retch. However, there seem to be blocked off parts of the map and I can't destroy the barriers with any of my special attacks. I've taken the central point but it is a losing battle of attrition if I just try to hold it. Thanks for any advice.

I just waited until I horded a bunch of resources then advanced with my accumulated force and then I just kept deepstriking units into the wretch until I won. The deepstrike ability is pretty broken because it does a lot of damage and you get a unit instantly dropped in where you want it absorbing all the damage while the artillery just sets up around the retch. Deepstrike only has a 20sec cooldown so you can just spam it as long as you have the resources for the units.

Ok cool, but lol, how do I even use deep strike / Tier 4 abilities? I don't see that option anywhere and it hasn't been explained AFAIK...

[Goontrooper]

When I look in the Battletome, I see the Tier 4 upgrade for the muster point but that isn't an option in this mission so far.

Ok I've got it now. It is just an option in this mission but it only shows up in the bottom left if nothing else is selected. Cool thanks game.
