Q: Why is it called a Full Clear when you left a [Creep Tumor, Overseer, Overlord, Observer, Stasis Ward, etc] alive?
A: The community rules for a Full Clear say that all pre-placed units and structures and whatever they create from said pre-placed units or structures are destroyed and wiped out. This does not include units spawned from scripted attack waves, map events such as the infested on Dead of Night, indestructible structures like the conduits on Void Launch, or special units or structures generated by mutators such as Purifier Beam or Laser Drill. Creep Tumors, Overseers, Overlords, Observers, and Stasis Wards are exempt.
In addition, all main objectives and bonus objectives must be completed with no misses to the main objectives are permitted such as no shuttles missed on Void Launch, no bots destroyed on Mist Opportunities, or no damage the Temple on Temple of the Past.
On Scythe of Amon in particular, the defenders and void rifts in the last area you fight in are exempt from the requirements for a Full Clear.
Kimmo's Notes: This mutator was tailor-made for Creeper Hosts. Not only do they do crazy structure damage, which is what the Slivers are, but Double-Edged doesn't get factored because their attacks are kamikaze. Which is also handy for avoiding the nuclear explosions the Hybrids give off when they are killed.
Because of the perks of P2, Pack Leaders get a lot of extra health to be able to tank multiple nuclear hits and because of the reduced cooldown, efficient use of the leaders will always yield another one at the ready. And this is not even including Dehaka himself who will literally grow to that level to tank a few nuclear hits himself. Humorously, under the conditions of Double Edged, his psionic explosion can turn him into a living psionic bomb. It gets him killed every time but it's rather climactic and cinematic in a sense.
