You have my utmost respect for dedicating so much time to your guide Kyo, I hope you get to celebrate your birthday with your friends on a later date, happy birthday.

[@drunkdumpling]

For Ling/Chalter havers who can borrow Chalter/Ling: -Chalter can replace Pinecone -At Ya's Phase 1: do the same thing as Kyo, dont need to activate her skill -At Ya's Phase 2: use Chalter skill right when Ya swap place with their clone, and you dont have to deploy another sniper under the medic under Chalter, with S3M3 and level high enough, she can kill the clone, after killing the clone, turn off the skill -Keep Chalter there and activate her skill again around 13:00 so there wont be any leak, when half of her ammos are gone, retreat her -When her CD is finished, place her right under the blue box, activate her skill when available, done As for everything else, do it like Kyo, gud luck

[@botlor]

Happiest of birthdays Kyo, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the community.

[@Arflanyr]

If you are a new player like me and following this setup to a T yet does not have the necessary dps due to lack of Trust on May, Meteor, and Pinecone, bring THRM-EX with you and drop it before deploying May at 8:05 and 16:08 then spam 3x Pinecone Skill. Thank you for the great guide. Subscribed.

[@YogSothoth620]

FINALY i was waiting for this video, i tried it with my chars but its sooo hard for me to do it with that -1 block, thanks like always Kyo-san

[@dindapriska]

My team is fine with -1 block, but the CM shadow buff actually screwed me for this run lol. Could've done it without needing to tear the team used in normal mode apart too much if it wasn't because of the buff. At least Vigil is sitting comfortably on the left side with his 3 block wolf.

[@Killabeastaholic]

@@Lann._ What a cringe inducing statement. Why are you even on this video with an attitude like that?

[@babelfishdude]

It took me quite a few tries before I realized the medic placement anywhere is pretty much fine. Very tricky level. Kyo the true sigma showing the rest of us Sigmas how its done.

[@lilremix]

man really said "boss will have high atk spd, so he only move by pixels, so we can stall with multiple medics". insane

[@BusyBanana721]

That was mind blowing. I already cleared the stage but wanted to see how it could be done without facerolling over it with a dozen 6 stars. This guy's creativity and understanding of game mechanics never fails to amaze.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

@@BusyBanana721 I got through the normal one with half a dozen six stars, I'm glad I'm not the only smooth brain, lol XD.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

This works with Manfred for the CC too, you can stall his first phase by placing a ranged unit on the right high tile.

[@jonnevitu4979]

​@@IrvineTheHunterbruh as a new-ish player I learned to never hold myself in this game; we take a lot of time building those 6*s, might as well put them to good use.

[@ThatsPrettyFunnyMan]

Happy belated birthday, Kyo. Hope you get to hang out with your friends by the time youre reading this comment. This stage is so tough with the block count, I had to use Uncle Mlyn to execute Ya for the last phase.. He's the next best thing beside Chalter (that I dont have).

[@predatorx104]

Thank you for taking your time to make this guide, you even used your birthday time to make this guide, that's a huge sacrifice. Happy birthday kyo, man this stage took me 3 hours to beat.

[@beatyoutoapulp]

Yeah a sacrifice for a guy who actually does this for views and money. He'd sell two of his birthdays just so that he was the first to post the 1 6* low ratity guide, but unfortunately for him he wasn't

[@Sinkureaaaah]

​@@beatyoutoapulpThe hell's with your attitude? even for views and money at least he did help many people with his guide.

[@bobbywibowo]

@@Sinkureaaaah classic bitterness stemming from envy or some memes like that i'd imagine

[@beatyoutoapulp]

@@Sinkureaaaah what are you even pointing at? I didn't say anything about helping or otherwise. Wasn't the point.

[@beatyoutoapulp]

@@bobbywibowo it's just that kids like you are too naive to know people don't 'sacrifice' anything when they have to do their job. Too bad you think chalking it all up to 'classic bitterness' explains everything. I didn't say a single thing about what kyostin does being a bad thing, but it's just that prioritizing you job over your birthday (and generally unimportant stuff like that when it comes to making money) isn't something that deserves pitying someone who makes the choice willingly and deliberately.

[@masterultra2385]

Happy birthday Kyo-sensei 🎉🎉🎉 Pd.Dusk can also be useful

[@BooguyTheAdept]

Blue Woman proves to be the best operator yet again. Solo Ling all content!

[@ruz1632]

TY Kyo!! After I tried to finish this stage 5 times, the enemies always leaking. So, to prevent this happening again I bring Thrm-Ex for emergency button when so many defenders come and place it near Ling's dragons, and it help a lot. For my operators, I replace May with Pozymka and Pinecone with Archetto s3(since it helps clear mobs faster). The Ling has max everything. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYO!!! NEVER GIVE UP MAKE NEW VIDEOS LIKE THIS!

[@loukylor7429]

even tho i have some p high tier ops, this guide is a straight life saver. 4 hours and over 300 sanity spent, plus using support units to no avail. this was the last thing i wanted to try since it used ling, but it saved my ass anyway. thanks so much kyo

I beat this stage with the help of a high squad (alt Chen, Suzuran, Madrock etc). And I could not even imagine that it can be passed by one 6 * operative. It's good that I can just kill the boss near the red box before he spammed a many defenders

Thank you sm Kyo!!!! This is probably one of the stressful level I encountered

[@captainmaxel1223]

Christ on a cross, I finally beat the challenge level after three days of trying. Afterward I check your strat and I forgot that "-1 block" meant I could put ranged units on that center column without them dying to the enemies. I could've beaten the challenge level on the same day if I wasn't a massive idiot! 😭😭😭😭

This stage is a nightmare even with this guide it still took me 4 hours to get it done. Thank you for making this step by step guide Kyo cause jesus man I wasted the last 3 days on formulating a strat to finish this stage. P.S. I always fail the stage after the boss switch to the left side of the map cause deployment timer cause Im fukin brute forcing the 1st form of the boss I guess Unga Bunga mentality is rotting my brain so much.

Just sharing my funny moment, I spent a lot of drill plans, and finally used up all of them, so I go with sanity one. And when I cleared for first time (it's my first WB-EX-8 challenge with sanity), my OS is like: 'Ok cool let's go with this', and then find out 'What?! So I'm done?!' Thanks Kyo for trying so hard finding a squad with lowest requirement🥰

[@vilet4287]

on my fourth try 9 defenders spawned from the bottom lane at this point i am out of in-game sanity and irl sanity

[@vilet4287]

FINALLY After using all of my drill plans, burning through another 50 sanity and almost ripping my hair out I did it with my own strategy: First, get DP deploy Penance S3 and Mudrock S2 on top lane with the help of ReedAlter S3 (could maybe work with S2), next burst the first boss phase with solo Pozy S3, then deploy Suzu S3, Skalter S3, Lumen S3 and Exu S3M3 to burst down the second phase and kill the clone, at the same time deploy Spalter S2M3 on the left lane to manage invis dudes, then deploy Ifrit S2 on the right before the boss has range there so she can finish the boss and help with killing the stuff that spawns. Always use Suzu S3 when ready after the boss dies to help Ifrit kill On the left the last invis guy will come before Spalter recovers her skill so place someone with 2 block to tank the first 2 attacks and place Skalter Summon to heal Spalter

[@MatildaHinanawi]

Wow, they just actually made like an impossible stage if you don't happen to have the required ops.

[@theseekingsankta3106]

plus the cursed RNG that keeps spamming defenders at you

[@dindapriska]

I mean, if you invest enough, even five stars and lower can beat the stage (also the boss goes flying in phase 2, making it easier for anti air sniper to focus on them).

[@theseekingsankta3106]

@@dindapriska i finally did it and was like WOOOOOOOOO

[@dindapriska]

@@theseekingsankta3106 I did the same. Took me half a day to clear the stage. Turns out, my solutions to beat the stage were to not pull Schwarz out (I ran with Schwarz + Pozy setup for the boss as I have one of them built) and use arts centric setup on the top. Better to anticipate you'll get a horde of defenders and prepare for that rather than needing a set of RNG and have to reset whenever the run deviates from the plan. Hopefully I can do better in the rerun, replacing either Schwarz or Pozy with couple 5 stars for the boss.
