== | ==Trivia== | ||
===Miscellaneous=== | |||
*One Controller Sentinel is always sent to a control tower when the player gains control of it, but it won't happen if you choose to destroy the Controller first before capturing the control tower. | |||
*The Retriever Sentinel in this mission possess an energy shield, unlike at the level '''[[The Halo]]''', where the Retriever Sentinel is unshielded. | |||
== | ===Strategy=== | ||
*A rear attack is the best solution for dealing with Controller Sentinels. Have one unit act as distraction and have Anti-Air units attack it from rear. | |||
* | **It is recommended to use the holo-decoy to create a horde of your units since Sentinels often focus on the holo-decoys first. | ||
* | *The Grizzly Battalion is recommended for this mission due to heavy damage, but beware of population consumption. | ||
