Anyone has strategy how to beat it with 3 stars? (on Normal). I dunno how I survived last time (with 2 stars), and now I completely stuck and cannot beat it. Recently I tried again, survived to wave 9, and wave 10... It screws everything. From left comes first Cerberus. I hardly can kill it, and when he's on half way and lost half of health, from right comes another, and 3 stars are lost... Please help, any tactics?

I can't offer much help. I finished the game years ago and haven't played much since then. There are videos out there. The "trick" may be finding one with a strategy that works for this version of the game. Apparently there are some differences between the versions for different platforms. On top of that, they updated the Steam version earlier this year, and they seem to have tweaked the enemy/tower stats, making some things much harder than they were before. So even a strategy in a video for the Steam version may not work anymore, if the video is from before that update. FWIW, if the "last time" that you mentioned was before the first part of this year, that might explain why you're having more trouble this time around. And they seem to have updated the game again earlier this month, but I haven't seen any information about what might have been in that update.

Ok, I'll look for some strategy videos and see if they are working. Thanks for reply

Have just beaten it. Gerald Lightseeker with Arcane Wizard can take care of Cerberus. Demons die under Teslas. Killed Legions with help of Arcanes and Teslas. Sorcerer with Elemental stalls Moloch very good.
Actually, it was as easy as other Elite stages. Still, had some "panic" moments.
Overall: Use Rain of Fire at right place, build Teslas at choke points to maximize effect, call Reinforcements whenever they are ready, don't forget about Mages and repeatedly move Hero from place to place to prevent death.

Glad to hear it, and I appreciate the tips. I actually made a few attempts at it after reading your first post, but they weren't working and I didn't bother trying to figure out where I was going wrong.

Hi there. Check out my channel on youtube. If you type "War Champion Kingdom Rush", you should find my channel showing how to easily beat this level on veteran. I played with Oni as he is immune to explosive damage.

This level offers the concept of SELLING towers and reconfiguring your entire field enroute through the waves. One of the main reasons its hard is because you CAN'T get the right tower configuration in one go.

Keep trying with that in mind.

Hello guys, thanks for the tips, I appreciate the help that you offer me.
So after I finished playing Frontiers, Origins and Vengeance (for now), I came back to Original one to finish the job here, as I was missing 7 stars on some Elite Heroic and Iron Challenges. And, I tried to replay some of them on Campaign mode (Normal). I played Pandaemonium... And I beat it with NLL. I dunno what happened, but this attempt was a cake walk (except some early waves). So here's my strategy that I used:
The Hero was Ignus (because he's amazing damage dealer, and also he's immune to Thermal Fissures and Flareon's ranged fire attack. I used Ranger's Hideout with Wrath of the Forest as my starting tower, and it worked very well. After I earned some gold, I placed Sorcerer at the upper point above from exit, and upgraded Elemental soon to keep enemies away from the exit. Before the Cerberuses appeared, I bought another Sorcerers with Elementals and an Arcane Wizard for additional damage. After this, I bought an Artillery and upgraded it to Tesla so I was able to deal with 12 wave (~100 Demon Spawns). And so on before final wave, I bought some Archer towers and also upgraded Barracks (which was lying at lowest Strategic Point) to Barbarians Hall with Throwing Axes upgraded. When Moloch appeared, I sent a Elemental to him and carefully placed Barbarians so they can throw their axes, and used Ignus when the Elemental died, but the Flareons came, and I was forced to retreat. Still, i beated the boss pretty easily.
Yeah, all of that sounds dumb and unclear, but I still hope that it will help if someone will be stuck too.
So here I brought another tips that 'may' help someone:
To effectively and quickly kill the Cerberus, use Sorcerer's Elemental with support of another mage tower (preferably level 3 or Arcane Wizard) and your Hero (preferably Tanky one); Watch out for your Hero, you will need him for the whole level; always place at least one Sorcerer with Elemental at the bottom so no one escapes; place Reinforcements wisely, you want them to throw spears as effectively as possible; to stall Moloch, once again use Sorcerer with Elemental, and when he's about to die, upgrade him. Watch out for the Flareons though; Keep in mind: Every enemy here is a problem; Make sure you upgraded everything with stars (if you miss some, you may left Barracks least upgraded.
Hope that they're not useless. Good luck everyone!

Hey, hello there, bro! Looks like your post here is the reason why I've found your channel (or I found you while I was looking for Pandaemonium walkthrough). Nice videos, I will certainly use some of them as a guide for my next playthrough. Keep it up!

The tesla towers improved to the maximum helps a lot against the necromancers also I think that the soldiers with axes are the most useful because they also attack from a distance.

I don't know why you are telling about the Necromancers, as they're absent in Pandaemonium, but you're right. The Tesla shuts down Necromancers effectively as it can quickly get rid of entire Skeleton army that he can summon with Overcharge even if it level one (except for some Skeleton Warriors though).
And even with this, Teslas proved to be extremely helpful in Pandaemonium (along with other Demon levels - they're actually great everywhere). Max. upgraded Overcharge easily stops Demon Spawns and even Flareons, though it still need some backup. It also tends to be the best way to take out group of Demon Legions since it's strike ignores 50% of armor and can struck unlimited numbers of them with Overcharged, while bolt's high damage can easily shred single one (it's not recommended though to use only it for killing Legions - Sorcerers are usually better, but still they needed to be in front, so they wouldn't be overrun by a horde)
With Barbarians though, it depends on strategy you use, level and enemies that you have to deal with. For sure, they're amazing. The Throwing Axes are very nice to have and should be top priority when upgrading, as it significantly increases Barbarians' versatility and DPS, allowing them to kill of flying units pretty well. Whirlwind Attack is a nice AoE attack to have, as it can easily shred weaked enemies. If considering that enemies attacking all 3 Barbarians, and they have Whirlwind maxed, while some horde passing through, it's amazing. More Axes, obviosly, increases Barbarians' DPS. And what a nice boost it is! From like 16-24 damage, with this upgrade maxed, their damage get boosted to 46-54. And including it's damage of basic attacks, this is nice to have, but, it should be bought only when you have enough money and your defenses are strong enough.
With the Paladins, it's obviously that they're designed for stalling. When maxed, they can even tank. You should not buy them when you need damage from barracks - Barbarians are much better at this job. But if you want to stall tougher foes (and even bosses, which is possible) - then Paladins are your choise. The Holy Light is your priority when upgrading Paladins - this makes them invulnerable to most enemies. Level one will be enough. If you expect to counter stronger enemies, then you should start upgrading the ability further. Shield of Valor even improves their durability - as it gives them High Armor (considering that Better Armor is upgraded) and thus, further makes them invulnerable. It's better to buy it when your money reserve is high enough. Still, you should not buy it when countering magic/true damage enemies, as they ignore any armor. Holy Light, though, may be weak, but it proved to be good when Paladins are to encounter hordes of weaker enemies - it can clear some of them, reducing pressure on your choke points. Still, it's not effective against armored enemies - it deals physical damage. Buy it when you think it will pay off effectively.
Thanks for the tips - I'm sure that they will help people that are new to game.
I am playing on casual difficulty.
Just now I have three-starred the Pandemonium level.
Here is how I went about it:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988692459
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988692853
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988693767
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988694308
Not sure if this applies to other difficulty settings as well, as it was a close shave.
I hope it can be of help to someone who needs it on this map.
Good luck, everyone!
