Verminion

Probably the most frustrating thing ever....and while on that topic has anyone beat challenge 9 yet? I don't see a way to remove it's immune state...

Im stuck at challenge 12.
I don`t remember challenge 9, refresh me and i might give you a hint.

The strategy aspect of it is way too finely balanced for the minions, to the point where the counter system is incredibly punishing... I thought this was going to be a easy-going strategy game... And is the most stressing thing i have played on strategy since Wargame:Red Dragon xDDDD

Green blob type enemy challenge called Mine your Minions...I wouldn't be doing this if they didn't make the one minion I want (Twintania) tied to the most annoying thing so far...lol

beating the blob is identical to the blob boss from copperbell mines.

There is a lever northeast of your center crystal and if you move minions there they get the ability to plant a bomb, you place the bomv on the ground and lure the boss there then detonate it to split him into smaller beeings.

Once small enough you can attack them and claim victory.

Land based I assume? Bombs didn't set it off.

not bombs as in minions, by moving units over the lever the minions are able to plant a ring on the ground (bomb) and when you press the smaller blue buttom (near the red minion special ability one) you make it explode, if the boss is hit he splits into more and smaller versions of himself.

Once small enough he can be damaged by normal means.

I know I just had the actual bomb minions out before and they didn't do anything to the lever hence why I asked if they have to be minions that touch the ground.

And here I am, sitting trying to find out how to create "action party" so I could use atlest one ability. -_-

What penalties?

Has anyone cleared level 12 or higher yet? :o

There is a penality time if you drop out and it doesnt say how long it is (which is pretty damn stupid because it's a guessing game) and yes someone my server is almost at 21.

For 9 I just spammed an army of white mage minions and didn't use anything else. They get their ability a lot and I just keep them together and have them heal each other so infinite sustain against bosses. I sent one out to grab the bomb and come back while the rest would just attack and heal each other.

Yeah would work if I had one of those...lol

For challenge 12 grab anything that hits gates hard, is literally a race of whoever shuts enemy gates down first. Demon Cube boss just destroys gates in 2~3 hits. You need to ignore him since he will wanted for a while between doors, but you need to take his doors down, then clean field and after all of that hunt him...

I LIED! ALL LIES! enemy doesnt have gates on challenge 12!

Solution: Mass Gentlemans! Just give away 2 of your crystals, preferably center and either left or right. get a full running team of gentlemans and "trap" the demon cube and destroy him by sheer gentlemanness.

watchout using the gentlemans skill, as amazing as it sounds, they will indeed wipeout anything the enemy throws at you but they will then dissapear and you will need to recall em. Also you could throw 4 white mages there.

Yeah would try all this if I wasn't under a penalty for the past hour and probably will be for who knows how bloody long since it doesn't freaking tell you how long they last.

Damn.... they're gonna challenge us in different ways I can imagine as we climb :eek:

Edit: Thanks!!

Yeah, enemy decks are themed, and the challenges are for you to test minions and mechanics. NEVER retreat/surrender or you will fall in a long penalty. 1:30 hours i think.

There are some cheesy combos:

Odin Minion = Mass murderer of critters.
Puppy+Kitten = Mass murderer of poppets.
White Mage = Infinite life cheat code vs all.

Thanks again haha, took 5 attempts or so without the gentleman minion, used Odin and just spawned maximum amount and baited/camped one arcanum :)

lol me too. It said to use R1 and X or something but when I do it nothing happens. I ended up having the manually click it with my mouse since I use gamepad and mouse/keyboard on PC

I'm stuck on 13. Cid's shit is unbearable, coupled with the fact that despite primarily being gadget based they take very little damage and rip through my minions like paper even though there's not supposed to be a type advantage/disadvantage is making me want to throw things. I'm using APs and healing/def/attack buffs too but it makes no difference and it seems like this stage uses far more minions than should be summonable if it were a "fair" match (i.e. 240 summon points for each player) so I get swarmed and nothing can stop it.

I don't even care about the Twin minion anymore, I just want to get though this BS stage.

Passed this stage with basic destroy gate, protect arcana strategy. Used mainly kidragora x 8 and odin spammed the rest

Was there a specific gate you took out first? I was using kidras as well and the airships were just tearing through them so I couldn't split forces to defend my stones and go attack.

Shields and eye first, 2 parties of 4, moved to Gate A,C , one party to B after and other party to backup whatever needed backup.

Gonna keep this active for strategy talks...lol

Isn't this just using 4 of the same minion in close proximity to each other?

I can't even get pass the tutorial. It's too complicated. worst minigame ever. Should have add something easier like Chess, O-X, Othello for dumb people like me.

You can always play the punching machine, wait for it to reach X and click :confused:

Anyone figured out a winning strategy against Gilgamesh? I've been trying to stack up buffs from the Mandragoras to burst him down but the chickens end up kicking my ass. I'm at least getting away from his instant minion kill mechanic but seems like stacking up on a stone and being defensive isn't working this time.

I used monsters because his chickens are critters, Gilgamesh is a monster so it's alright. I summoned mass Odins :)

Finished 24 & got Twintania! Someone on my server had it over 10 hours ago though :o

And congrats!

Thanks! If he a poppet, then use a critter haha- I could be mistaken, it gets harder as you climb :eek:

So I'm still locked out. It is now 7am here and I have been locked out for over 12 hours.

Guys do you have any idea how to form that action party so I will be able to use special actions?
Having 4 same minions selected doesn't work, using X doesn't work too. So far I am winning all chalenges but I am completely unable to use most of the actions because of "action party" stuff. -_-

Finally got mine, the final challenge was really fun for me, felt like a mini-RTS.

They need to be close to each other, and also you have to wait for them all charge their action. (If only one is ready, it wont work).

Got my Twin this morning! I loved the last stage, just barely made it through with my last stone just barely hanging on.

You have to have at least 4 with charged action points. If you're on controller, once the icon for your minion starts flashing in the upper corner, you can press L1 + Square to execute the special action.

Thanks guys, I really hoped it would be just some keybind.
4 of each minions is kinda too much, but it is still awesome minigame. :)
