Hey forum,

This challenge makes me want to rip my eyes out, feed them to a puppy, and then kick that puppy mercilessly until it bleeds. Please help me if you can. Please. I'm on my knees begging you!

-A very frustrated cow

P.S. I'm not a violent person, but this challenge brings out the worst.

If you haven't seen it already, check this thread:

Also, I had an easier time with more than one person, because you have to run around less. 4 competent people plus this build makes it pretty reasonable.

some other tips, which you might already know, mostly stolen from the build thread:

-Use a crystal tracker to be able to hit the mages through walls.
-Use piercing shot to shoot through walls. This is how I did it. I rarely got hit by a mage because I was around the corner.
-Use a genie to get mana to upgrade. The mages don't drop enough mana to upgrade everything enough. Also pays for healing and piercing shot
-Having 4 people helps a lot, because each person can keep firing at the mage groups unless they are repairing/upgrading/healing. You don't have to run around much at all. One DPS huntress can cover the two east spawn, Another DPS huntress can cover the two center spawns. Two more people (of almost any class) can cover the two remaining spawns.

If you are soloing, definitely check the pattern listed in post #40 of the build thread
