Yes, a bit different strategy needed.
Currently as I see it on YouTube videos the top players use this method:
- The first wave is used for charging heroes and making good combos.
- The second wave is killed by items
- The boss wave is killed with everything what remains + special skills, diamonds
Now it need to be changed as following this method the boss wave might not be killed due to lowered damage. (Especially at last 2-3 levels)
So I think this method will be changed like this:
- Kill the first wave with items if the board looks good.
- Charge heroes, make good combos in the second wave.
- Kill the bosses with everything you have + specials.
One minor thought:
In all other challenge events if you fire a hero which casts defense down on the opponents and later you fire a hitter hero, the you deal more damage.
This is not true sometimes during this event. If the Rage reaches the peak with of firing the defense down hero, they you might deal less damage due to damage decrease.
So you need to think a bit before you fire the special skills.
What’s more if the Rage is at the peak, then all status ailments last for 1 turn. So it might be good if you do not fire some debuffer hero.
