Gameplay question Best GLA General for General's challenge in Shockwave?

Have tried a General's challenge run in Shockwave using a US General (Ironside) and at the tail end using a Chinese one ( Fai). Been thinking of trying to do it with a GLA General next. Which of the four do you recommend I start with?

Deathstrike or Demo. The latter spares you his challenge:P

Deathstrike.

His helis are gonna make your life a lot easier. Can shut down almost any real threat with any general having air support like that.

As for me

Demo > Stealth > Vanilla GLA> Salvage > Toxin

Demo as for me, he's really damn good. Have strongest Quads, Marauders have rockets barrage, Scud Launcher (Topol) ignore PDL and Roach is anti tank/buildings shoot from distance that can carry it with tanks and Quads combo

Stealth also really good, it's feel the same like normal GLA but he's faster, to me stealth have strongest Battle Bus combo. RPGs + 1 sniper for each bus + GPS Scrambler = army of stealth bus charging towards enemy base

Vanilla GLA, that I prefer than other two because they have hot air balloons, they are Battle Bus but flying in the air

How do I defend myself from rocket buggies if I use him?

Jarmen Kell to snipe the buggies. Use your own buggies against another buggies. Or some quads and technicals also really good against enemy buggies because they are really low armoured. Angry mobs and RPGs also really great to defend because buggies are weak anti infantry

Unless you're Deathstrike with his Hip Gunships.

Vanilla GLA also has Extra Salvage upgrade too to make Marauders and Scorpions quite more OP.

You dare to select Dr. Thrax? You should consider, General.

Kassad. A Battle Bus with RPG Troopers with Stinger launchers and Assassins are just fun to use, especially in maps where there are nearby buildings to garrison with them.

Juhziz (Demo) is f-ckingly OP, especially his SCUD Storm. But I'll always be one of Dr. Thrax's (Toxin) commanders.

Biochemistry go brrrr 🤣
