Part 4

Master Loop Hero's final stages! Learn strategies for defeating the Necromancer, Priestess, Hunter, and the Omega boss in this comprehensive guide.

Alright, we're getting into the nitty-gritty now! This section is all about taking down the big bads and finishing those tough stages. It’s a bit of a mixed bag in here, covering some class tips and then diving straight into boss fights.

Quick Class Notes:

• Warrior: Focus on Vampirism and Defense for general survival, but swap to high damage, attack speed, and evasion for bosses. Be careful not to over-stack monster spawns since your fights take longer.
• Rogue: Needs Arsenal, Forest, and Outpost to really shine. Prioritize attack speed, evasion, and high damage. A good necklace can help with HP. Rogue can handle more monster-spawning cards because fights are super quick.
• Necromancer Battleplan: Desert, Oasis, and Forest landscapes pair well. Outpost is generally bad for Necromancer, but worth using once to see what it does. Suburbs are always good.

Landscape Tips:

• Warrior: Start with Mountain and Meadows. Once unlocked, River and Forest are better. Outposts can help with certain tiles and bosses, but might cost you good item drops.
• Rogue: Forest boosts high attack damage. Deserts help with one-shotting enemies. Oasis and River+Forest tiles prevent over-capping attack speed. Outposts are great for Rogue since you get items at the campfire from trophies, especially with two Outposts near the campfire to help against bosses.
• General: Suburbs are always good.

Defeating the Stages:

There are 4 stages to beat, but you can keep playing after stage 4 to unlock anything you might have missed.

Stage 8.1: Necromancer

The Necromancer gets tougher as his fortress grows. His fortress spawns in a '+' shape around the camp, and each tile adds to his damage and HP. The trick here is to shrink his fortress before it spawns. Any tile you've already placed something on won't spawn a fortress tile. You can use Oblivion cards to remove fortress tiles, but it’s way easier to just pre-plan your landscape. If there’s already something built around the campfire tiles, the fortress won't expand there. Plan ahead from the start, and you can usually stop most, if not all, of the fortress tiles from appearing.

Stage 8.2: Priestess

The Priestess is annoying because she summons fake mirror images that eat your attacks. This makes her tough unless you have lots of summons (like with the Necromancer) or super high attack speed (Warrior/Rogue). Being incredibly durable *can* work, but it's a real challenge, especially since vampirism doesn't even work on those fake images.

Stage 8.3: Hunter

The Hunter and his dogs are actually pretty useful! They give you multiple chances to snag Time Shards, which you need for the Alchemy building. While the Alchemy building itself isn't super exciting, getting those Time Shards is a rare opportunity. The Alchemist's ability to transform resources is handy, but it's so late in the tech tree that it doesn't help much with finishing other buildings. The Hunter isn't a super hard boss, though. Just remember that evasion is less effective here because the Hunter never misses. Still, evasion helps with the other 2/3rds of his attacks, so it's not useless.

Stage 8.4: Fourth Stage - Omega

This is the big one! You have to beat all the previous bosses in a single run. Remember the Necromancer's fortress? You'll need to build around the camp to prevent that again. After the three bosses, you face the OMEGA. This guy's weird – each attack deletes some of your stats. Because of this, varied strategies are key, and golden items become super valuable. Normally, regeneration per second isn't the best, but even a little bit can mean that stat gets deleted instead of something more crucial.
