Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Wave 1: Place Mechanici at choke points near the north and south portals. For the West Portal lane, place three Electro Mechanici in the first four panels near the north portal (two on east panels, one west of them). Place one Pyro Mechanici southeast of the last Electro Mechanici. Mirror this setup for the south portal, placing two Electro Mechanici blocking the west portal lane, with the third in front, and one Pyro northwest of it.
  2. 2
    Wave 2: Place the remaining Mechanici. Two Electro Mechanici in the center panels of the middle lane, and four Pyro Mechanici, two at each end of the lane (southern and northern edges).
  3. 3
    Wave 3: Keep all Mechanici placements the same. Focus on acquiring Wondrous Sticks, prioritizing Pyro buffs like the Magma stick. If a Pyro Orb Stick appears and you have enough Veneficus Points (1500), purchase it immediately. Other priority buffs include Bea.
Tips
  • Enemies come from two portals (south and north) and travel through the middle lane. The south group heads east, and the north group heads west.
  • The main choke point is in the middle of the middle lane.
  • When placing Mechanici for Wave 1, ensure the Electro Mechanici are positioned to block the lanes leading to your respective portals, with one in front to funnel enemies.
  • For Wave 2, the Hydro Samachurls with the Fleet-Footed Trait can be difficult to contain.
  • When buffing with Wondrous Sticks, focus on Pyro buffs. Electro Bombardier or Vengeance Sticks can be used if not restricted.
  • In Wave 3, Rock Shieldwall Mitachurls and Geo Samachurls (with Fleet-Footed trait) are tougher. Prioritize the Magma stick for increased effectiveness against Geo enemies.
