Mission 14 Strategy

[Padre]

Using no more than three mirrors.

Looks like I'll have to run this more than once to get all Achievements and the New Skill. I have a plan, but wanted to hear how others have dealt with it.

Thanks!

There are many ways to do it, the time you have is not as bad as it looks. I finished the mission once and got the little snot super buff skill, then used it. It's really powerful. Other than that I went full Undead + a few traps, you could also go mana + portal so you can come back and deal with the invasions. Get your dungeon skill to 6 so Thalya has access to Gorgu. Dig your way to the gold veins early, also set up a big gobbler farm, a workshop with 3 machines and enlarge your temple a bit and get max undead essence for the mirror requests. Get max pop undead before moving out, with 4 vampire queens. Start clearing the top left quadrant. Make sure to get the vampire queen healing research ASAP. Bottom left you can skip the town. Then go bottom right and use Gorgu to take out the electro tower and as many units as you can, the tower especially really hurts, don't take it on with units. After that it's pretty straight forward. You can take the left path instead of the right to avoid aggroing the miniboss accidentally. I only used the mirror twice, so I had like 15 minutes to spare by the end on normal. Good luck.

I went with Undead + Demons, using the portal to pop back into the dungeon as needed. As Carnagath noted, you can completely skip one city and the crystal critter on your way to the summit. I just bum-rushed the electro tower and cleared up the stragglers.

One thing I noticed, it seems to re-roll the requirement for the mirror each time, so you can save-scum a bit and reload if it shows something you're short on (such as mana).

Didn't make the ten minute limit though, I'll have to rerun it as that seems like a very tasty perk.

I just focus on demons and leveling them up. Undead are too expensive for their little damage. Horde die too easy for the level investment. I've finished it around 28 minutes. Not touching a single Horde or Undead unit. If they are there and die then thats that. Make a big ol' gobbler farm for the hungry demons and make sure you set the mirror down before it reaches any room. Most importantly work the overworld same time as you work your dungeon.

Initially I thought Thanos would be dangerous to your units when he's not blinded but yeah no you can just keep going the whole time. Given the travel time of the laser before it'll even hit any of your rooms, thats not an insignificant amount of extra time. Things can feel a bit slow early on since you can't get much evilness from evil deeds until you get past the first portal but you can clear the last stretch pretty quickly.

On a side note, for the gobbler tasks its quicker to run several smaller rooms than just one big room.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up going all Undead and Thalya at least level six. Definitely want the Portal Spell. Used Gorgu on the Tesla tower and then to exit. Ended up only using two mirrors.
