Granted, I am a little biased in this regard, as I haven’t done Salvation on brutal yet. LotV is probably the easier from a gameplay perspective and achievement perspective, due to the SoA and some of the units. In a general sense, I think LotV and NCO are tied for next easiest, but they both are a steep jump from HotS. Kerrigan just completely breaks the game on every mission, even in the early game. About the only thing challenging about it are a couple of the masteries (The third mission is the only one I had to replay multiple times to get) and the Crucible. This is what the forums are for after allĪs someone who’s inching toward 100% completion across all campaigns, HotS is by far the easiest.

This is a personal topic I just felt like creating so if anyone has their own ideas of which campaign is the hardest/easiest, I wouldn’t mind letting them be shared here.

You’re left with practically nothing except enhanced units and a handful of upgrades depending on how much you’re ready to risk going for Sollarite bonus objectives. Aside from that, on higher difficulties the game straight up says “screw you” to the player and strips them from things that would otherwise give you an advantage. The final mission is definitely a huge contributor on that regard, being probably hands down the hardest mission in all 3 campaigns (not including Covert Ops or the Epilogue). However, this is intertwined in an interesting way as access to those upgrades is limited through a credit system that allows you to purchases up to 2 upgrades per certain units as well as Research which is only unlocked on certain missions assuming you take the time and resources to get them.įinally Legacy of the Void is probably the one with the biggest difficulty spikes IMO. Anyway, this is probably the second hardest/easiest campaign although considering the fact you get such powerful upgrades that the Terran needed to be a perfect race can make the playthrough a lot easier. I had a lot of struggles during my first playthrough on Brutal but that’s probably because I’m not good at Terran. Starting with hands down the easiest campaign is Heart of the Swarm.Īccess of a permanent Hero unit that can solo clear entire base camps is pretty insane if you ask me, and that’s not counting the fact that you get some really ridiculous unit buffs thrown in the mix too. So from my gameplay of every campaign so far (excluding Covert Ops), on Brutal, I’ve come to a somewhat decent conclusion of which one is the easiest and which one is the hardest.
