* | *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 retreats or you will take heavy losses. | ||
*Decimus will have shield recharge rate and cooldown faster than when the player first encounters him at [[A New Enemy]], roughly 50% faster on cooldown and recharge rate. | |||
*Stop attacking once Decimus complete the third orbital strike as he will be 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 exits the battlefield. Once his health is back to 100%, he will face you again, but he will not issue orbital strikes until he reaches 20% of his health. | |||
