how do you beat arena of gods page 1 node 10?(the boss node)
I have been on and off ramming my head against the bossfight of page 1(lowest difficulty)
everything els was beatable with a few tries and experimentation solo.

but my attempts usually end by:

1: not properly preparing to free the bonus objective (my fault for rushing)

or

2: getting to the boss itself but my army deals at most 2/5 of the healthbar and I lose the moment my TC dies (no idea how to counter that)


my strategy is to mass hero archers(with some melee) with hero aoe attacks,human unit dmg and the flex slot im not sure what would work best


I ask here since all google gives me when I search is pvp related or 30+ min letsplay type things and am sort of out of ideas.

Use the create trees power always as possible, and surround the wonder at the middle with trees.
If well done, there won't be available ground to spawn enemy troops from wave 4 onwards, so they won't appear.
And the titan will get stuck when it appears, unable to get out of the woods.
Use ranged units against him, it will take a while but it will be easy.

if you just want to get past it.. mods do work in arena. there are some that buff your legend just a little to give an edge, and some that just make it completely overpowered.

my problem was i'd run out of gold, so i ended up using a mod to increase the gold deposits (which i actually use for regular skirmishes now)
What are you doing exactly,
From my experience the entire map, xcept the bonus objective, is Empty, with a few cows and relics littered around(Its a premade map, so everything is in same location)

I just do normal stuff, getting bunch of Citizens, and get them to harvest,
Get a small army to defend(Heroes) and just get a army up for the rescue, and then just spawn camp the Spawn point, I usually just build a few towers with the Norse Hero, but other then that, you should be fine on Lowest.

Dont camp your base(Titans flatten them like pancakes). dont forget to send out oracles(The map is empty, so they wont die) grab a few relics.
Given your Gaia and there's no threat other then spawned waves, Just get your eco up fast

Since you're massing Heroes, you dont need the Human damage bonus, Swap it for faster resource gathering on you villagers. For your flex, I recommend Ra's Flourisihing Sun for cheaper Villagers. And Gaias Lashing Roots for Hero AOE is in fact king, its insanely strong so good call. Make sure you have the most upgraded versions of these powers that you can by completing all other missions in the gateway.


What you want to do immediately when able is head West outside your encampment, make a gate on that sides wall, and go as far west as you can while staying close to the treeline to build a Market, start caravans heading to your TC, you'll need the gold and your caravan should be safe; you wont need to protect them at all.

Have your Oracles scout for the free units _only after_ you have amassed a decent force yourself. Whenever a mission gives free units, try to delay grabbing them until youre as close to your pop cap as possible. Free units will push past your pop cap, trained units cant. Then spread your Oracles out so their scout circles have no overlap for maximum favor gain. As long as they arent in that main assault path, they wont be attacked.

Build Defensive Structures _behind_ your walls, Like a Castle right near your starting Gate, that plus the towers and your ranged units will fend off first few waves easy.

I can't remember if you're able to age up yourself, but if possible go for the Minor God that Gives Murmillos bleed damage. Your army comp should be like 20-30% murmillo, and the rest is Arcus. Make them all heroes. Once you have a sizeable force, maybe 20murm and like 40 arcus, build up a bunch of defenses like more castles and towers, then head to the northern base to wipe it, use the Arcus to snipe the towers before sending your guys in, they outrange most towers in the game.


When it comes to Kronos himself, Try to only send in like 5 melee units at a time to hold his aggro. The Mass Hero Arcus will decimate. Make sure you're reinforcing with Murmillo queued up to be trained. I usually do 5 Barracks to train in batches of 5 (hold shift when selecting a unit to train.)

If you have enough time, you can use the Allies from up north, the ragnarok heroes, to build fortifications right in front of Kronos Wonder, where he spawns. I had like 3 forts, buncha towers, and a house there. It'll spread lush and provide a minor bonus to your units, as well as shoot arrows for chip damage.

Side Note: A friend did tell me that some multi-tier tech upgrades are broken since Immortal Pillars release? Idk if this is true, I haven't tested personally, but that may be lowering the effectiveness of your units pretty heavily if it is true.

Cheesing it with blocking the spawn seems to be the best way, if you don't want to do that then you need to at least block off your starting town center (he walks through walls, but not other buildings). It doesn't matter if you take other town center, the moment you lose the starting one you lose. I tried it without cheesing multiple times, but he completely ignore my army, walked to my town center and only then started attacking my army, even with maxed army I couldn't get him down before his aoe killed my town center.
the tree wall worked after trying other things for a few hours pre that
so thanks for the advice
This mission was quite easy for me. All I did was use strong myth unit blessings and spammed automata and lampades. It gets much harder after that one, though.
