Finished Challenge Amulet:
C11
NO PREMIUM
7000 MONSTERS
(7020)
WIZARD LEVEL 464
Double monsters, normal hit points, original waves + 15, no battle traits
Skills:
Posion, shock, slow and armor â€" 0
All the rest â€" MAX
Focus â€" 20
Replenish 301
Resonance â€" 20
Took me 2-3 days of constant play to do it.
One gem â€" R/O/L
Initally grade 6, in a tower, with a grade 2 Lime in a near AMP.
The tower is near the nest (so it could kill monsters early in the wave, to have enough mana for the next wave summoning).
Initally, summoning with grade 1’s as far as the armor level is less of the GEM minimum.
In the continuation (wave 7+), summon until
(Hit Points + Armor) = GEM Minumum
NO SUMMONING ON SWARM (except maybe at the very end)
By wave 6: the GEM is amped by 3 AMPs, each with Grade 5 R/O/L
And then it moves to a trap next the same AMPS, right in time for the Swarm wave at Wave 7
Continue to summon with grade 1’s , and upgrade the GEM and AMPs
When the time is right, start summoning with Grade 3’s
As much as you can, then add grade 1’s to max your summoning for the wave
Then grade 4 gems, then finally you summon with grade 5’s the last 7 or so waves, doing about 600 monsters extra for each of them.
(as much as possible, if not enough mana, add grade 4’s 3’s and 1’s)
The last waves summoning should be in the time of killing the Giant monsters who give a lot of mana.
At that point it’s also worth while to move the GEM and AMPs toward the end of the track, so the Giants can be hit upon twice (or even thrice) to get more mana out of them and to disable banishing.
The last waves are not easy, constant killing and banishing is going on, and still you try to upgrade your GEM and AMPs as much as possible.
Finished with a grade 10 GEM and four 10-grades in the nearby AMPs.
Mana pool Extended every now and then
------
Later also tried:
1. Random monsters, no Double. This gets you some early Giant Waves who get you rich
Works pretty well.
2. Mana Pooling as fast as possible with summoning at its lowesr cost (grade 1’s), so you get to x3 Mana Multiplier ASAP. This high replenish will now make your angers more money-giving, and it’s easy to summon more Grade 3’s and 4’s later on.
Also worked great for me, made the challenge even easier.
