Master the Shrub Shakedown Dimensional Challenge in Monster Train. Learn strategies, modifiers, and unlockables to conquer this unique gameplay scenario.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Weapons Make The Warrior: Start with 3 random Equipment cards that cost 0 Ember. All equipment bonuses are doubled, and all cards have 1 fewer upgrade slot. This challenge is a simplified version of Covenant 1, encouraging you to combine equipment for powerful effects.
  2. 2
    Twofer: Drafting a card gives you a second copy. You earn double Gold, and all status effect stacks are doubled. This makes effects like Valor and Pyregel extremely potent, but also makes Trials with Multistrike, Reanimate, and Spikes more dangerous.
  3. 3
    I'm the Enemy Now!: Friendly units gain Quick. Friendly units Ascend at the end of each turn. The map path is chosen automatically. This challenge highlights the power of overstacking and makes units like Largestone very effective.
  4. 4
    Stop Hitting Yourself: All units gain Multistrike 1. Enemy units enter with Spikes 1, and gain Spikes 3 when they are defeated. This challenge encourages you to leverage your units' increased attack power while carefully managing the retaliatory damage from Spikes.
Tips
  • Focus on synergistic equipment in 'Weapons Make The Warrior' to create overpowered cards.
  • In 'Twofer', exploit the doubled status effects for massive buffs or debuffs. Be wary of Trials that increase enemy survivability or damage output.
  • 'I'm the Enemy Now!' rewards aggressive play and units that benefit from Ascending or have high attack power.
  • 'Stop Hitting Yourself' requires careful positioning and potentially damage mitigation to survive the increased enemy Spikes.
