Help needed for Mission 8

We've been stuck at mission 8 for hours now and finally ran out of ideas on how to beat this mission. Can you guys share some tips/strategies with me that you used to beat it? General tips about strategies that apply to other missions are also appreciated. I know, this is a rather shallow question and I'd love to provide some more detail on our problem, but we really can't figure out what we're doing wrong. Thank you very much!

1.) Run like a little girl. 2.) If you have more than two players, have one stay back at the starting platform and focus on opening gates. 3.) Keep in mind that you can push mechs AND the bomb at the same time. 4.) If on mech is in front of the bomb and the others are behind it, the bomb will move much faster, but still not take damage. 5.) Lucking out on the color roles helps a lot.

Inner me: We should probably mention that we forgot to activate the runegates and they were disabled all game long.

Me: Nah, nobody needs to know that.

If you are playing with 4 players. Start with Ziggs having the card that destroys all mechs on a a rune color and take a damage to keep the card. Also, prioritize movement cards for the rest of your team. Corkies Omi-stop card going in multiple directions is good for this as well.

The way that we passed it was we assigned roles.

  1. Ziggs stayed back with a few omi-stops to destroy all new upcoming minions and step on ruin squares.
  2. The rest of us focused on surrounding the bomb at all times so the minions couldn't damage it.
  3. We also assigned a tower. I find that towing the bomb is better then pushing (it protects the bomb better) with the card order: max rotation, 2 square movement, max rotation, two square movement, two square movement and fuel tank works best.

Hint: Don't try to move the bomb to early. You want to build your command line and unlock a few schematic cards.
