so ive noticed that while legrim is the easiest baron, it still takes a while to actually beat him. even with ubers, it seems the accepted strategy is to beat up h nah with fest ubers then permafreeze legrim with oda. i thought to myself ‘thats pretty fast, but this level seems rushable right off the bat.’ turns out no plan a was so great they made a no plan a 2. that is, its even better fodder for courier.
couriers rampage requires little setup, is extremely easy to pull off, and nets you a fairly consistent win, only inconsistency depending on if a blogger spawns as legrim does. first, you have to spawn bomber, courier, fishman, and bear, respectively and immediately. fishman has speed enough to get back to legrim quickly, which prevents legrim from moving too far up for courier to snipe the base, but also the point where zuche will burrow to get ambushed by bear, and owlbrow will stand so as to be sniped by courier. courier will pretty much always hit zuche as he burrows, the perfect amount of chip for bear to follow up with a zkill. by now owlbrow should be nearly dead, and youll want to kill him quickly so neither he nor h nah can push up and kill bomber.
once owlbrow dies, you can spawn heavy assault and a couple of fishmen. this isnt necessary, but it creates a buffer zone between h nah and bomber, and before h nah (or owlbrow) reaches bomber, that usually means he will be under fire from courier for about 5 seconds, give or take (speed clipping determines where the two end up, and h nah may be able to kill heavy assault without getting hit by courier). put up iron wall, or slow beam, or thunderbolt (whichever lasts longest, unless bolt is below level 20) when the second owlbrow spawns, and this should hold the duo in place just for safety as courier whittles down the base. dont worry about the second zuche, the base should go down before he has a chance to do anything.
the ex stages are where fishman and heavy assault come into use. black bun bun is the main threat in both the cradle and frontier, and the most effective way to beat those levels is to freeze and pummel him behind the backliners, then freeze the backliners. rushing is definitely the way to go here too, but the summit stages large sbk spam can be very punishing with two meatshields.
