(Endgame) Strategy Guide. Focus: clearing tiles asap (faster upgrading/new guards). Priority: making 4-5 combo's. Guard placement: divide among lowest health/highest leadership melee champions, 1 slow guard for arch wizard should be enough for quite a while. Champion: Axe, Light Armor. Cavalier: w/e, Cloak. Arch Wizard: Rod, Shield. Most important Weapon stat: damage, most important Armor stat: restores x hp every 5 secs. You can reset shop items by revisiting. Reset to buy the right ‘red’ item and hope for the right stat. +1 if this helped you.
for the badge:
dump the vehicles right below the nest. thats how you get rid of shooters, you also get a bonus for dumping a vehicle on them, which makes you go to the next level faster, you also regain more health and you can also block a few shots with the vehicle ;]
oh yeah another thing: u get 1000 points for every object u avoid after you avoided 20 objects. so it would be best to not get hit at all :p otherwise u have to build up the 1000 bonus again.
