Creeping Death is a side challenge in Commander's Challenge.
“ | This remote island is used to sort and maintain the Empire of the Rising Sun's Nanocore units, and right at this moment, the self-assured Commander Kenji happens to be using them to practice some new tactics. It would be useful to know what he has in mind, exactly, so please go ahead and take a look. Whatever he's planning, expect him to heavily rely on those Nanocores here. - Mission briefing |

Strategy and notes[]
- Kenji does not build any units on his own, instead relying on a Tower Rush consisting of spamming Nanocores via land to the player's base and unfurl them into Defender-VX turrets as well as Wave-force towers, effectively locking them in if not countered in time.
- As Empire of the Rising Sun, it is possible to simply build Instant Dojos right in front of his base. As few as two Tankbusters can destroy any Nanocore he is sending. Parking a few Burst Drones just outside of the Turrets' range will result in them switching to AA mode without being able to fire upon these units. Tankbusters can then be sent in to finish them. Prepare some Archer maidens to counter the Chopper-VX units flying around his base, as Tankbusters cannot target air.
- Training an Engineer is recommended to capture and neutralize any Ore Refineries built on water. Meanwhile, his MCV will usually try to escape, so large numbers of Tankbusters should be accumulated, ideally taking it down before it could potentially escape.
