Need advice to pass Elderlicht.

[PCichigo]

Try a few time be my own play style, and still not work out.
Try a few time base on guide, and it is not work now because of ballista nerf patch (1.0.2.14).
Was going to try again, but the latest patch (1.0.2.15) cause my save file corrupted.

So, I'm chilling out in here to find some advice.

on my first attempt i restarted when i seen 4 sides wave night 3 with only 3 heroes and all materials/golds spend
2d attempt saved materials for day 2 made 4 warpgates => solved the issue, randomply lost a hero on night 8 => restarted
3d all went fine despite my starting char was missig an arm (sad for him)

all in all it's just a matter of patience and wave menagement

invest hard into consomables 2ap pots ( lvl 3+), move pots, lastly health pot and/or scroll

omen of bonds + omen that let you throw pots farther ( witch also gives you extra conso slot), if you have it obviusly + 1 hero (me not by that time), in my attempt i was also using omens with +crit, +1 move point and a free worker thingy
this last omen allows you scavanging both 2 tiles ruins with only 1 worker the first 2 days wich is 32g + materials, by far the best income per worker i've seen, later it saves you a worker for the corpses so you can harvest more or produce more

focus on items with +1ap, i was surprised of how many items can you get with this affix, also day 2 you can find very good items in the shop ( any random grey lvl 3 wpn can save your night for 20g )

it's hard to figure out where are you strugeling, so just add me if you want talk

1) Resistance reduction is extremely useful. This level boss has resistance at least 50%.
2) Multi-Hit boss killer is less useful at this level, unless you build he/she to be REALLY REALLY tanky. Make sure at least 2 of the DPS are "extreme powerful 1 hit" type.
3) Only build teleporter at last night. Because you not sure the randomly appeared obstacle location. You need this teleporter to counter the final boss who love to teleport every 1 or 2 turn. Make sure all 6 teleporter covering outer location evenly
Of course you are advised to kill the boss on the turn it spawn. But if that boss couutering your hero, the teleporter will help. bring in suitable hero
4) Poison damage is more useless at this level. It can somewhat useful to 1 of the boss but not another, if you have to build 1, go for dagger (as previous point mentioned you need more single target DPS)
5) AP potion, Healing potion, Immunity potion are god send this level.
The boss LOVE to apply multi-turn length debuff to you. If you get hit 3 times by -2 AP debuff ? Well that means you will be -6 AP ! There are also movement penalty and damage penalty
Cleanse from higher tier item remove the debuff and immune until next turn end.
6) Don't shy from the +1 hero omen or experience boost omen.

Edit : OMG I miss saw Glintfein, must be memory from another topic.
For ElderLitch, start get extra hero and armorer ASAP. Extra hero will help a tons on covering map with brazier.
Leapfrog is extremely powerful omen for this map

You're thinking Glintfein. Elderlitch is the ghost town.
Healing potions are still good tho.

Thank you guys!

I just pass that level, here are major things I change from my usual play style based on what you guys suggest.

- Turn out AP potion is the key, it help me a lot.

- Changing my heroes build from hammer / short bow / wand, to hammer / hand crossbow / magic orb.

- Overhaul my omen, Omen of Second Chance did save my heroes a few times, Omen of Outpost to boost HP of wall that come with the map, Omen of Mercenary to increase my attack since it is long night.

- Warp gate also very useful, didn't really need it but it is very handy.

potions of stability are a must for the boss fight, two warp gates in the haven and then one warp gate out of the haven in each place with soul vessels...

everyone should have teleport scrolls and if allowed the blink (teleport) perk
you use stability potions in your heroes that goes alone to close soul vessels BEFORE get stunned and if you do well, stability (immunity to stun) will last for two turns (+1 with perk)

For me the Vampire/Sledge Hammer/Blood Mage/Thorny Shield combo made the biggest impact, including AP potions. And i learned to limit the footprint of the settlement helps in Elderlicht and especially in Glintfein. Gives you better pile rewards, less walls to build and defend, especially when your heros are anyways roaming outside all the time. and the teleportation pad on each side at least 2 out of the walls.
