Hints:

• If you're looking to save on Isos, I would skip on the deploys they add very minimally to your Mission score.
• If you don't have the heroes to unlock Destroyer (Epic Boss) for Task 25, you're better off just coughing up the 25 Gold to complete the task and get Valkyrie. Alternatively, if you're just 50 or less Command Points away from getting that last need hero and are down to the wire, just buy the Command Points get the hero.
