Thanks a lot for the tips ! Thatās what I tried, but it seems like even when I hit MN with red tiles, it doesnāt do much damage, then she heals and the other bosses have the time to fire their special and kill my heroesā¦
Iāll try again soon, but first I was thinking of speed leveling Boldtusk that I drew a few days ago to replace Kiril.
I cleared Advanced Level 24 with Rigard (+9), Wilbur, Anzogh (+1), Hansel and Colen (+7). Took minor health, minor mana, dragon attacks, bombs. Unloaded the specials, made some tile matches on MN, reloaded Hansel with mana and hit all 3, more tile matches until the special ran out, dropped the bombs and dragons, and then finished Santa (last one standing) with tiles. Phew!
No Wu! With that mono you clear the bosses in 5 seconds (first fire Wilbur, than Falcon). And have the red tiles ready, like I explained above. I, @ThePirateKing, @Olmor and many others cleared the bosses in few seconds, in this way. You donāt need Wu. Could miss a lot and your tile damage is lower with only 4 reds.
No Grazul, Colen instead. The bosses wonāt get to fire if you do like it was explained and BT is enough to get you through the stages. Just have the heroes charged at the end of stage 3, red tiles ready and kill the remaining monster in the right side with items. Good luck!
Just do not rush with the tiles in stage 3. Gather some red tiles on board, before killing the last monster. You did something wrong I guess. Did you see the posts of @Olmor and @ThePirateKing?
Just watched the one guys video and he had way better luck with tiles than me haha. Plus Tarlak who has a ridiculously handy special to max out the damage.
Make sure all heroes go to Boss stage fully charged and with full or almost full health (use healer to do it not items to save space for item you will really need)
Try carpet bombing for Boss stage:
5 Dragon Fires 5 x 400 = 2000
5 Fire Bombs 5 x 300 = 1500
5 Axes 5 x 200 = 1000
Total Damage 4500 for all Bosses
I would say this is a big dent.
Then use Colen and Kelile to take down Mother North first, do not let her use her special.
Your 4th item slot should ideally be 5 timestops to drain bosses mana regurarly and prevent Mother North from firing special.
Another option is to use Tornadoes to charge all your heroes again and shuffle the board.
After Mother North is killed, focus on Buddy. He is easier to kill than Santa.
The trick now is to use the best the empty spot left by Mother North to ghost tiles and charge your heroes again but not letting the Bosses gain too much mana too fast.
Then use empty spots for ghosting to kill off Santa.
Actually, Lianna is not the best sniper hero for this event. She is neutral to Mother North and Buddy and weak vs Santa.
Probably Mariana would be the best sniper since Mother North is first priority target followed by Buddy and then Santa.
Problems usually start when Mother North is let to use her special, bosses heal, then follow minions, then Buddy or Santa fire and things go out of control.
Proteus or Hell are probably the best heroes for this event because as long as you can charge them is almost like never ending timestop. Close after follow Hansel and Gretel their mana control (50% down + damage every time mana is full) is great but the risk is higher to make a mistake because in order to utilize them fully you alway have to fire when bosses have almost full mana and one mistake with Mother North can cost a lot.
