*Because the Forerunner Bonus Reactor nearest to the starting base is not likely to have to be defended against the enemy it is often easy to take early if the player can defeat the Flood. The opponent must pass by it to mobilize a large attack, so it can be used as a lookout as well. As with ''[[Release]]'' using infantry often leads to failure because of the Pod infectors.

*Using fast vehicles or air units is often the best method because they navigate through the "S" shape without difficulty and slow vehicles must pass by enemy bases or reactors in order to reach their main base giving them ample time to prepare defenses. The Forerunner Spire of Healing is often a main focus because enemy bases cannot be attacked without passing so camping troops there can be a very useful lookout. One strategy is to use the UNSC [[SP42 Cobra|Cobra]] and unpack them at the Spire creating a nearly impenetrable defense that can stop a [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] in its tracks and then be healed afterwords to be fresh for another attack.
