Well, well, well. We have a trivial map of all things to close out this DLC. Now I never mind the iron mode of the last level of an elite campaign being easier or different - it takes me back to Blackburn Castle iron in the original game, which was easy but fun in that it had you shooting down flying sheep. But a map that is not only single hero but also not worth assigning grades for? That hasn't happened since Misty Ruins iron - the first map of the Undying Fury campaign.
A big part of the issue is we have an iron mode with no surprises. We get the Tricannon, which is already practically giving away the farm, and the Dune Sentinels. The Sentinels are there for one obvious purpose - to deal with the Drones coming in from the top right. The Necromancers are here to generate blockers for us, making the placement of Tricannons near them extremely obvious (as if those weren't already the best places for them anyway). The only thing remotely subtle is the order of upgrades. Start with a fully upgraded Dune Sentinels so the Drones aren't an issue, then focus on getting three Tricannons with Bombardment up and running. The Necromancers aren't a priority - the skeletons they produce are the same regardless of the level of the tower - but they can provide additional firepower towards the end.
You will, however, notice that I did play with the upgrade order through the course of making the videos. Originally I completely left the Necromancers until everything else was done. Occasionally there were some close calls with the Drones, but no slip-ups. Then, however, I got some bad RNG back to back and had a couple of losses due to a Drone slipping through. So I decided to upgrade the right Necromancer a couple of levels earlier on to just to eliminate the possibility of any problems. It's a minor thing, and it certainly doesn't change this being a trivial map. So 'A's for everyone and we move on to the next campaign!
