Amon has siphoned the temple's energy in order to grant his minions incredible power. Brimming with psionic potential, his supercharged armies sprint across the battlefield and channel their wrath into myriad abilities. Withstand the onslaught until the temple is secure once more.

Notes:

  • Abilities used by the enemy include Abduct, Black Hole, Defensive Matrix, Disabling Cloud, Disruption Web, Force Field, Fungal Growth, Guardian Shield, Graviton Beam, [Hybrid Structure Disable Thing], Irradiate, Parasitic Bomb, Point Defense Drone, Psionic Orb, Psionic Storm, Seeker Missile, Snipe, Time Warp.
  • Temple of the Past spawn timings: https://i.imgur.com/NgekuG8.png
  • Most difficult comp is probably Zerglings/Banelings/Scourge, just for the sheer number of units, plus the Scourge deal enormous damage to the Temple when they rush it.
  • There is no means to determine what spells each enemy unit has until they actually use it. They do not use spells on the rocks either.
  • As is usual with Temple of the Past, the most difficult waves are the first Hybrid ones, since that is when your defences are least prepared. Coordinate with your ally to alternate calldowns as you power up your economy and production.
  • With the absence of weather effects, this one is actually more fun than annoying!
  • Although the enemy does not target-fire Artosis Pylons, they will sometimes cast disabling spells on them.
