Unlock the secrets of Monster Train's Dimensional Challenges. Learn strategies for 'Weapons Make The Warrior,' 'Twofer,' 'I'm the Enemy Now!', and 'Stop Hitting Yourself!' to conquer new difficulties.

Challenges:

  1. Weapons Make The Warrior
    • Covenant Rank 1.
    • Primary Clan: Banished/Fel, Allied Clan: Pyreborne/Lady Gilda, Pyre Heart: Heart of the Pact.
    • Modifiers: Enchanted Armory (0 cost equipment, +3 random equipment), Amplified Armaments (doubled equipment stats), No Fluff (1 less upgrade slot).
    • Unlocks: Trigger Happy, Twofer.
    • Strategy: Easier than Covenant 1; focus on combining powerful equipment.
  2. Twofer
    • Covenant Rank 1.
    • Primary Clan: Pyreborne/Lord Fenix, Allied Clan: Banished/Talos, Pyre Heart: Proto Heartcage.
    • Modifiers: Two for One (drafted cards gain a copy), Moneybags (double gold), Duality (double status effect stacks).
    • Unlocks: I'm the Enemy Now!, Calculation Station.
    • Strategy: Duality makes stacking buffs like Valor and Pyregel easy. Frenzystone is more potent. Be wary of Trials that add Multistrike, Reanimate, or Spikes.
  3. I'm the Enemy Now!
    • Covenant Rank 1.
    • Primary Clan: Underlegion/Bolete the Guillotine, Allied Clan: Banished/Talos, Pyre Heart: Proto Heartcage.
    • Modifiers: Fast Draw (friendly units gain Quick), Race Ya There (units Ascend at end of turn), One Track Mind (map path auto-selected).
    • Unlocks: Stop Hitting Yourself!, Slow and Sloppy.
    • Strategy: Overstacking is powerful due to less concern for capacity. Largestones are effective. Shift units activate more often due to automatic Ascending.
  4. Stop Hitting Yourself
    • Covenant Rank 1.
    • Primary Clan: Lazarus League/Baron Grael, Allied Clan: Banished/Fel, Pyre Heart: Proto Heartcage.
    • Modifiers: Strike Hard (all units gain Multistrike 1), Pain Train (enemy units enter with Spikes 1), Rising Retribution (enemy units gain Spikes 3 when triggered).

    • Primary Clan: Hellhorned/Seraph, Allied Clan: Umbra/Husk, Pyre Heart: Proto Heartcage.
    • Modifiers: Endless (units with Endless cost 1 less), Hold the Line (units gain +1 attack for each friendly unit on the same floor), Overwhelm (units gain Overwhelm 1).
    • Unlocks: Trigger Happy, Weapons Make The Warrior.
    • Strategy: Focus on building a strong frontline with Hold the Line and Overwhelm. Endless units are more accessible.
