Master Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's Athena's Wrath mission. Learn strategies for Soviets, Allies, and Imperials, overcome Athena bombardments, and defeat Lydia.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Build a small force and send it to Lydia's eastern outpost. Destroy it and secure the area's resources.
  2. 2
    Be aware of the Athena bombardment wall between you and the resources; avoid the lasers.
  3. 3
    Secure the northern Resources and destroy the bridge.
  4. 4
    Build up air power (Tactical Aircraft for Soviets, Vindicators for Allies) to bypass bombardments and destroy Lydia's two bases. Prioritize targeting Anti-Air units.
Tips
  • Soviets: Mortar Cycles can destroy Lydia's outpost. Twinblades are excellent for securing northern resources and attacking northern bases.
  • Allies: Vindicators are effective for destroying Lydia's bases; build many to prevent rebuilding. A Prospector can be shrunk to bypass Athena walls and secure northern resources.
  • Imperials: Nanocores can be transported to secure northern resources. Steel Ronin can easily destroy Lydia's outpost.
  • General Defense: Keep anti-armour aircraft (Chopper-VX or Twinblades) near your base to counter enemy Athena Cannons, as they outrange tier II defenses. Watch out for Tanya.
  • Imperial Strategy (Striker VX Spam): Spam Striker VXs and send them to Lydia's nearest base. Then move to the north-east and north-west bases. Use a small group of VXs to defend against armor and Tanya attacks. Rocket Pods and Honourable Discharge upgrades are helpful.
  • Imperial Strategy (Dojo Rush): Send one Dojo Core to the nearest base, deploy, capture the Construction Yard, sell it, and capture the rest of the base. Simultaneously, send three more Dojo cores to the northwest base. Deploy Engineers to capture the Armour Facility first. Use infantry to level the last base, which has Athena Cannons but can only target one soldier at a time. IFVs and Warriors are effective against enemy units.
