Tempest Torment 4 guide

**How to play T4 as Tempest**

Usual lobby setup is 5 Ravens and 1 Tempest, and most of the time if you're hosting you want to take the Tempest role since people in public lobbies can't be trusted. (If you're not confident in your Tempest skills you can grab a second one and go for 4 Ravens/2 Tempest lobby but I highly discourage this idea since it's somewhat slower and you don't learn that much if you're playing the 4/2 setup, and I guess you want to learn how to play Tempest correctly if you're not confident enough.

**Your role as a Tempest:**

It's better if you have max TP (Damage, Ability Rates, Movement Speed, Minerals, and Vespene are the only ones you need) if you want to play Tempest but it's not necessary. First thing you want to do when you spawn is to go to left upper corner of the map and grab Speed Boots (if you don't have max gas TP just hand around there till u can get it, shouldn't take long with Ravens resource aura. And remember to not go in there with mobs being capable of flooding both exits of the choke where you buy the upgrade.) With your starting minerals you want to buy death touch upgrades, and that is the spell you want to max first. You also want to use it on every boss as soon as possible as it removes their health regeneration and is a source of constant DPS, even when you don't see the boss. After getting boots wait for brutalisk to spawn, use death touch on it and make your way to the right upper corner where you want to get bigger bullets. Then go back to the left upper corner of the map and kite each boss while making sure they have death touch on them and you are constantly using disintegration/snipe (whichever you wanted to max) on them.

**!!!IMPORTANT!!!**

You never want to clear zombies before all the bosses have been dealt with, refrain from shooting at them by constantly moving. At wave 110 infested siege tanks come which are very hard to deal with so you don't want them to spawn when you're fighting the bosses.

We're not going to need much buffs so the only gas upgrades you want to take are speed boots and bigger bullets (Also ability cooldowns i you don't have Ability Rates TP). Same goes for minerals, the only mineral upgrades you need are 10-15 range, max death touch, disintegration slow and max snipe or max disintegration (both work you can choose whichever one you want, although I like disintegration better since you don't need to stop for a second to shoot). **DON'T GET ANYTHING OTHER THAN THOSE** you don't need anything else to clear the bosses efficiently and buying more is a pure waste of resources. You can get the rest of upgrades if you plan on staying Tempest after killing all the bosses though.

**Bosses and how to deal with them:**

Brutalisk - Just use DT and forget about him, he will need 1-2 disintegrations or snipes later on to kill him but you don't really need to worry about that.

Hydralisk - Same thing, death touch and forget. You will likely encounter him when after you bought bigger bullets and are going back to the left side I'd encourage Buying couple of range upgrades when you're doing that because I've seen some niche scenarios like hydra sneaking behind the corner and killing the Tempest, you don't want to be that guy.

Broodling mother - Your DT will usually be on cooldown when he spawns so you can just beat with with disintegration and snipe spam to save the DT use on ravasaur.

Ravasaur - Use DT, shoot with the spell u maxed, watch it die. You already know the drill.

Infestor - Watch out for his spells because it can get you easily killed if you are not paying attention, other than that you know how to kill him.

Stukov - First bounty boss, watch out for his missile since it one shots you (like everything else in t4) and has some range.

Kraith - Fat charging boy, when he stops and looks at you jusst move away, he's isn't much of a treath. Kerrigan - Very low range on the storm ability, just stay away from her like from every other boss.

**!!!Brood Lord!!!** - Probably the only boss which will cause you trouble, stay the hell away from him. He has 16 range which is more than the disintegration range, so you usually want a Raven to chicken him for you so you can use your spells on him safely.

Dehaka - Can pull you and spawns babies that can also pull you, just stay at range and you are fine.

Brakk - Is faster than you so use disintegration on him to slow him down, his spell which usually leaves you at 1 hp one shots you in t4 so watch out for that.

Lich - His spell and attacks are rather low range, so no danger for you. Dt makes work of him in couple of seconds because of his enormous regen.

Dreadlord - Spawns inferanls which teleport to you when you shoot at them, make sure you don't do that. Also stay away from him because he can make you fall asleep. His hp regen is even higher than Lich's so DT melts him.

Leviathan - Has a mechanic similiar to the one of a point defense drone, make sure you shoot a disintegration at him first to get rid of that and then use death touch to kill him. After you're done with bosses, good job. Your main task as Tempest is complete, you can swap characters now.
