== | ==Trivia== | ||
*There | *There are total of four Compounds houses UNSC prisoners at this level, each Compound mostly holds Hellbringers and Cyclops. | ||
== | ===Strategies=== | ||
* | *Attacking Decimus head-on like at A New Enemy level is not going to be enough at this level since it will be a very tough fight. Make sure you retreat when Decimus retreat or you will take heavy losses. | ||
*Decinus will have shield recharge rate and cooldown faster than what player deal with him at [[A New Enemy]], roughly 50% faster on cooldown and recharge rate. Make sure you immediately prepare the reserve unit as soon as you lost unit. | |||
*Stop attacking once Decimus complete the third Orbital Strike as he will be left the battlefield invulnerable (When his health reaches 40%), instead escape and regroup to the base near the fourth portal immediately to avoid Plasma Bombardment. | |||
*You will fight Decimus twice in this level, when he's dropped to 40% he will recover his health as he exit the battlefield. Once his health is back to 100%, he will face you again but he will not issue Orbital Strike until he reaches 20% of his health. | |||
