Thanks for the guide!! I hope u rested well!

[@literalshipley]

I've seen other people mention this, but if you stun the candle knights while they're charging up, it will interrupt their attack and reset the timer on it. I've been relying on Projekt Red for that a lot. Thanks for the guides, king, you are a genius for real, and it's always fun and relaxing to watch your videos and hear your commentary. For a f2p guy like me it's been a lifesaver.

If anyone ever struggles due to the corrosion damage, remember that Honeyberry can be bought at the red certificate shop and heal said damage, thus saving you the trouble of managing the corrosion with fast redeploys. Also, she fits nicely in sussurro's place due to her wider range at e1.

[@gghgvgh5020]

Its not everyone already build her

[@Dewi-H]

Other than needing REALLY good timing when stopping Ch'en's skill this is a solid strategy. Thanks :) I found that using Siege instead of Courier, Bagpipe instead of Vigna and Hoshigummibear instead of Cuora simplified things as a sniper wasn't needed (so I didn't need a support at all). My problem was making sure to block the first elemental sniper and turning Ch'en's skill off late enough that the enemies died but early enough that she could actually kill the last drone (run fails without it). - Myrtle E2 lvl25 P6 S1M3 - Siege E2 lvl25 P6 S1M3 (in place of Courier) - Bagpipe E2 lvl25 P2 S2R7 (in place of Vigna) - Arene E1 lvl35 P6 S2R7 (in place of Midnight; my E1 lvl70 Ayerscarpe or E2 lvl25 Lappland probably would've been better) - Ch'en Sauce [ChAlter] E2 lvl25 P1 S3M3 - Sussurro E2 lvl25 P6 S2M3 - Perfumer E2 lvl25 P6 S1R7 - Saria E2 lvl31 P2 S2M3 (instead of Spot) - Hoshigummibear [Hoshiguma] E2lvl25 P2 S2R7 (in place of Cuora) - Fluffles [Cardigan] E1 lvl55 P6 S1R7 - Gravel E1 lvl60 P6 S2R7 (Saria's heal on top of Perfumer's helped to keep her alive longer to tank more snipes) - Lancet-2 E0 lvl30 P6

[@77Yuki]

man, wish i have ChAlter. all i got is pot 6 Mizuki.

[@Mr_Rhodey]

Kyo took a break and immediately got right back to it. Cheers!

[@Narkotika10]

I cannot thank you enough for this guide, i adapted the strategy a bit with other units and after 20 tries i finally got it, thank you so much

[@oneways2728]

Finally i can clear this stage. change perfumer with ptilopsis for fast charging Chalter, SA in guard place, and using Red to cancel Candle Knight skill. thanks for the guide ma Lord

[@magnificentbeard5506]

Putting an enemy with global range and additional affects somewhere I can't deal with them is a surefire way to initiate brain shutdown. Thank you once again.

[@jamessilva1259]

Thanks Kyo, that one is hard. Fun fact Did any of you notice that SilverAsh can attack and expose enemies in the dark. because the dark just adds invisibility to enemy units in them. Meaning his S3 can clear and exposed them to long range attacks from your operators. it is awesome and very helpful. SilverAsh must have Infrared for eyes. 😁

He has the Sharingan

[@nologosnolife]

Thank you much!! Your guide helped me a lot! There was just a small problem at the beginning bcs unfortunately my vanguards are high cost (1 pot flametail and wild mane) so I did'nt put a sniper since they're high cost as well 😭 I needed the medic asap so I put sussuro first, retreated wild mane earlier and deployed ch'en. Thorns and Ptilopsis also helped me a lot and SA's s2 as a bait instead of cardi which made the stage easier than expected.

[@Deniot92]

thank you so much, finally beat this god damn stage!

[@haruka3203]

8:46 One of the only moments where Kyo doesn't say that it's "pretty easy/simple" lol

[@Red_Scales]

I had some troubles with this because my Courier kept dying at the start, I realised that it's because Myrtle e2 talent heals him enough for it to be fine. Was very easily "fixed" by dropping my burst healer before Ch'en alter, if anyone else feels the same way. :)

[@RagaGearforever5]

Thank God Mlynar exists now to eat all the water arrows.

[@ghostweb5019]

We need Chalter with 3 mastery. Because if the skill activation cost will be more than 55 SP we can easily lose the last drone. The seconds is matter. PS: i really don't understand that kind of peoples with Chalter e2 90lvl in a support slot, but without even 1 mastery point in a main skill.

[@JayzenKhimBTorio]

You have to be friends with them to unlock their chalter's mastery just send friend requests until someone friends you or go to the official discord's friend code channel and add from there

[@ghostweb5019]

@@JayzenKhimBTorio I have a friend with maxed Chalter, but the problem is that i spend 10+ minutes on a refreshing search results before to find it. I meet "not a friend's" Chalter with e2 90 lvl like...20 or more times? But no one with even a single mastery point in skill.

[@llealynarisia362]

@@ghostweb5019 Late reply, but I can guarantee that 99% of those Chalters do have mastery. The issue is that, for some reason, the game limits the skill level of support units from players you don't have in your friend list. If you click on one of those units, a confirmation window will pop up, and you'll likely see a "Skill Specialization Level Restricted" message above the skill level in the upper right corner. This means that the skill possesses mastery, but it'll be reduced to level 7 if you go ahead and use that unit. Conversely, if the skill IS actually at level 7, no such message will appear. I'm not really sure why the game does this. Probably to encourage adding players to your friend list? But it's definitely rather annoying.

[@thekeikks]

@@llealynarisia362 You can also see their actual mastery in the list of support units they have at the lower left, there it shows the skill mastery properly.

[@FlynntheBookseller]

Using Lancet 2 is actually brilliant. Nice one kyo!!

[@RexRagerunner]

You've rested well I hope!

[@Cyclone.F17]

thank you so much, this stage got me raging pretty hard

[@Uragaan1]

As the last wave is the most challenging one, ppl with their own chalter can just grab surtr from friend list and delete a good portion of the difficulty

[@ZAYKONN]

The moment you said "Retreat Myrtle" I accidentally retreated Ch'alter lol

[@drjackass2269]

Thx man i needed it

[@kellymurray7831]

If you can squeeze it in, I set Coebe on S2 and those knives + drone = dead everything. I took out my sniper and added her in as long as she hits the field before the defenders it's GG to armor units

[@scarlettrevor7536]

Happy birthday Aosta

[@stepbro2203]

chalter mvp of this event

[@lokket9995]

If you summon your frd on the the tile infront of the healing defender it will save your team from the candle ladies as they both will target the frd.

[@raffrodog]

"If you don't have buy your own" Lol 😅🤣

[@tomefilho3902]

All the supports that look have Ch'en with the 1st or 2nd skill but never the 3rd.

[@aaronencila1809]

May i ask i follow the guide but the red knight always attack the backside of my operators my medic and my vanguard died in an instant

[@paxelic1429]

wait, im clearing this currently 14/05/22 but i dont have corruption archers spawning and enemy spawns are slightly different. is that because it isnt challenge mode?

[@notasuspiciousperson354]

Yup, Kyo even said it in the beginning

[@tometeles7192]

People aren't using Ch'en skill 3

[@Sorrowblast]

Just use e2 Chalter >low squad

[@kyuhnimoj]

I have a last second run on this. I hope I can beat it

[@kyuhnimoj]

Update: I lost. And forgot to buy one piece of furniture after spending it all on Nanoflakes

[@socrates1796]
