complete the campaign with only miners in hard mode.

a few rules and exceptions

  1. tutorial level is a slop so you are allowed to use the 2 swordwrath and 1 archidon
    Only trainable units should be miners after that point

  2. Castle archidons are essential
    train a swordwrath in garrisson to get one

  3. Spells and enchantments are allowed

  4. Tech tree is allowed

  5. when you're stuck do the level on normal but return to beat it in hard later

  6. Lavish shall be fought on insane

  7. I don't know... Profit? doing this on a 100% safe file is allowed

#

vestal spire
#

vestal spire

#

It Is not a bad idea but it's a lil bit far from being added

fierce relic
#

What if they make a new troop thats like a giant miner and it swings it pickaxe like a giant swinging its club

the rule of normal difficulty is a life saver. i would have never passed levels 3 and 7 without it. after unlocking spirit speartons i returned to those levels in hard mode to then complete them.

#

in tutorial u could just send the archidon and swordwrath back to the fort

#

or make the archidon that shows up kill them by possessing your archidon but then not defending against them

surreal dove
#

How tho

molten barn
#

I never tested it

#

I'll try it now

#

yep ez enough

#

I'll send proof in a sec

#

after waiting for the archidon to kill the swordwraths, u can bait him into the miners which will auto aggro to the archidon

molten barn
surreal dove
#

Holy shi

#

Peak strat

molten barn
#

yep I thought this up on the spot once I saw the game forced u into possesion and wouldn't let u out

#

I've done archidon only on insane so I had some prior experience(with the only exception I was willing to make being miners)

#

spells and mythics were fine too, just no summons

surreal dove
#

Btw

#

Level 22 and 32 are possible with 3 slots archerspam

#

Level 22 is possible with even 2 slots archerspam

molten barn
#

whats that mean?

surreal dove
#

Crawler prince beat level 22 with miners and archers as the entire deck

#

No tech, insane diff

molten barn
#

Yeah i can see that

#

ya know what

#

now u got me intrigued

#

I may aswell do it again but just like u said, with just miner and archidon

surreal dove
#

I'm waiting for shadows in campaign to beat the entire campaign with shadow spam

molten barn
#

one problem

#

eclipsors

#

I rest my case

surreal dove
#

And devious

#

Eclipsors beatable with shadows, even in multiplayer

molten barn
#

huh

#

ight then

surreal dove
#

In campaign, it's easy to bait them into getting killed by CA

molten barn
#

true

#

but how to deal with when trying to attack the statue

molten barn
#

also gonna make this clear, to make it harder I picked thera

#

since she cant attack it follows the rules

molten barn
#

Just reached level 7 with 2 slot miner and archidon only run

#

not sure how im gonna handle this on insane

#

I'll just try and see what happens

molten barn
#

okay it's 100% possible

#

I just messed it up

#

it was so closeeeeee

floral sparrow
# molten barn

wow you made some good progress
currently i am stuck at level 12 with the wind magikill
i'm going to have to resort to rule nr 5

molten barn
floral sparrow
#

are you using a completed safe file?

molten barn
#

if you look at the top of the video, you can tell that it's not completed because upgrades aren't even unlocked yet

floral sparrow
molten barn
#

no that's how it's always been, hasn't it?

floral sparrow
molten barn
#

u don't get upgrades until some time in chapter 2

#

i think

floral sparrow
#

yep

#

before that update the upgrades were unavailable in the levels prior to unlocking it

molten barn
#

Yeah thats what I said

floral sparrow
#

unavailable even after you unlocked the upgrades

molten barn
#

oh i see

#

yeah thats a pretty interesting choice

#

guess people complained for some reason lol

floral sparrow
#

in your current run, who did you pick as helping general? i picked xiphos

molten barn
#

I deemed xiphos cheating, remember that im just doing 2 slot while also only allowing ranged damage, so i made xiphos illegal, leaving thera as my only choice

#

only exception is damage from miner

floral sparrow
#

and why the regular archidon in your deck? just filler

molten barn
#

Im not doing miner, now that i think abt it the video made it look that way but im doing something different

#

I'll do miner later tho

floral sparrow
#

ah you're doing archidon run

molten barn
#

I already did archidon only, but that allowed spells and mythics(and also abilities but i banned spearton summon ofc)

floral sparrow
#

heads up for the miner run:
a few problem levels:
level 3 speartons
level 6 magis
level 12 wind magikill

molten barn
#

I can see all of those being problems, yes

#

but we're not too strict with miners so I'll make some ideas

#

keep in mind for 6

#

the goal is to just defeat general Magis

#

but the statue is still there...(theory)

floral sparrow
#

i think you are trying to say that destroying either ends the level

molten barn
#

thats the theory

floral sparrow
#

the archis and last sicklebear levels are the only ones where you have to destroy the statue

molten barn
#

mhmm

#

and the lavish one

#

don't forget him

floral sparrow
#

oh right he probably too

floral sparrow
#

especially their reinforcements

molten barn
#

all levels that have reinforcements are problematic

floral sparrow
molten barn
#

which ones

floral sparrow
#

i don't really remember them since they went pretty well

molten barn
#

makes sense to me

floral sparrow
#

i am currently busy with the ripriders

molten barn
#

I am attempt spamming level 7

#

it is literally a gamble with the AI

floral sparrow
#

riptors are hard to predict

molten barn
#

I have a strat for it, and it will eventually work

floral sparrow
#

good luck with your run

molten barn
#

thx, u too

molten barn
floral sparrow
#

you defeated the swamp riptors

molten barn
#

yea, just now

#

on insane

floral sparrow
#

i still haven't beaten the rip riders yet

molten barn
#

if I can, i'll get the video

floral sparrow
#

i killed the reinforcements of the ripriders

molten barn
#

noice

floral sparrow
#

now i can finish their swordwrath statue

#

i have done it

#

now im watching the cutscene

molten barn
#

congrats

floral sparrow
#

we both defeated riptor levels at a similar time

molten barn
#

sending proof of my completion in a sec

floral sparrow
#

the riprider level wasn't really a problem level compared to the ones listed since i beat it in 3 attempts

molten barn
#

had to split up the recordings because of limit but here ya go

floral sparrow
#

you're probably going to have to use a similar tactic for the mounted riptors utilising a single archidon to bait them

molten barn
#

one is only when ur rly lucky

#

I believe I ended up using 4 here

floral sparrow
#

bait the ripriders into attacking i mean

molten barn
#

yeah ik what u meant

floral sparrow
#

@sage torrent here is my challenge

sage torrent
#

What about on insanedevious

floral sparrow
sage torrent
#

Damn

floral sparrow
#

which is also stated in the rules

#

you may attempt it

sage torrent
#

Ok

#

I'll try it later and lose my sanity

sage torrent
floral sparrow
#

for now i want to talk more in your post

molten barn
torpid nova
#

but sws gotta be on a whole different level

molten barn
floral sparrow
#

the chaos units appear to be not so difficult compared to the levels with order units

molten barn
floral sparrow
#

makes sense

placid nexus
#

lavish gaming

floral sparrow
#

revival

#

also i managed to reach Wrathnar's ambush with this

primal yoke
#

Oh you're fig

floral sparrow
#

fig keeps on changing their profile pic

floral sparrow
#

i only recently discovered that the miner wall enchantment increases the damage of the miners
with Forge 2 they can deal 15 damage

floral sparrow
#

Revival I guess

violet trail
#

Sooo everything except trainable units is allowed

#

Ok this sounds cool

#

I'll try it

coral trail
torpid nova
#

thats actually peak challange idea

#

i already did that one with archers and it was super easy 100% on insane

floral sparrow

Hello

#

I will just train 3 archers to Ewing te level 15

floral sparrow
#

and though it would be difficult with the miners being heavy units
I completed my own challenge before the miners got a health buff

Did I get bonus point on Insane?(I'll won't be doing it)
