Right after pylon charge:

Zero Armor:

Dead:

I wish there was a Quest for this(and a Badge on Kong, too!)

-WizLevel: 1296-

Focus: 143(+1092% mana)
Replenish: 329(+312% mana/kill)
Resonance: 197(+300% damage)

Maxed Skills-

Forge(vital)
Construction(Vital squared- Look at how many towers & amps I built)
Wild Gem(only non G1 gem)
Bloodbound(Turned out to be useless)
Chain Hit(didn't bother using ever)
Multiple Damage(Must Have)
Flexibility(Helpful, not overly so)
Slowing(helpful for the traps)
Deadly Traps(For better slowing)
Recharge(Damage increased)
Radiance(G1s have tiny range)
Readiness(IDK why I had this maxed....o.o)
Ritual(Better than Focus at my level)
Armor Tear(Vital Squared...900 armor > 100 damage...)
Mana Gain(Just maxed from habit...)
Shocking(slow was better...)

Why I didn't bother using these-

Poison - Scales horridly, shadow healing outpaces it, so it can't even act as antiregen gem
Demolition - And increase cost of tower/amp even more?! Nah, I lived with any misplacements.
Shrines - Grade 1s in shrines? Are you kidding? Please tell me you are.
Dual/Triple - Grade 1s. Nuff said.

Now, go forth and kill and humiliate the Forgotten with the Power of Grade 1 Gems!

Very nice work! I think that GC: Labyrinth allows more scope for high-level players to just play with off-the-beaten-path strategies and challenges. I may start another Labyrinth game with which to have fun when I become annoyed with CS.

I did a break from CS to see if 32-spec & 16-combine work in laby(they do, and pretty well as well).

What other challenges for lab/CS are there? I think this one was a very good one. I want to do more c:

Hmm....

Not sure. Any ideas?

Maybe....beat D4 with only poison and slow gems. Gems must have less than 900 damage. Oooh!

EG: Only use poison for damage, slow gems to slow Shadow. Can you do it?

Gonna attempt it now.

Well, I have a couple challenge ideas.

Laying Slow D1
Beat field D1 without using amplifiers and only using slowing gems of a grade no higher than 3.

Foggy Corruption H1
Beat field H1 with only gem bombs and with Corrupted Banishment set to level 4 or higher.

Shadow currently has 400k/428k....this will take awhile xD. Not sure what to do about its final death charge...Huh.

Edit- Gave up, obviously could not do 50k damage before it would deathrush me. So....fail challenge XD

Edit2: Thomas, this is GCL. No corrupted banishment.

Oh. I thought this was GC2.

In that case:

Allergic To Crafting
Survive 150 waves or longer on the first crafting pylon field with maxed battle settings without ever charging the crafting pylon.

Prefabrication Isn't Always Good
It is said that just because amplifiers pre-exist doesn't mean they're decent! Prove that by beating 150 waves of endurance on field B12 without ever utilizing the 8 amplifiers supplied to you and without building anything. Only one gem allowed.

Okay, try these on for size:

Feverish Allergy
Do Allergic to Crafting, but enrage every wave past wave 30 to have max monsters and at least 5*e+18 health, MULTIPLIED BY THE MONSTERS' BASE HP. Also, the requirement is now 300 waves and you still must never touch the crafting pylon.

Manafarmin' Maniac
Without using a single skill point, farm at least 1 trillion mana from monsters by wave 50 on field A13.

Simply Forming Fog
Drop 30 grade 70 gem bombs on the same pixel, but don't kill, destruct, or enrage anything.

Let The Giants Forage
Beat a level on Endurance with max settings without altering the path AT ALL and enraging every wave to have max monsters. Yep, all 1337 waves.

1. Is hard but doable for very high levels. Please note that crit is less outrageous in GCL then in GC2. A grade 31 gem only kills 10 trillion(E13)...let alone 5 quintillion. Wave 30? Maybe you should rethink it a bit.

2. 1 trillion, well how will you know? reach 1T pool size? If just exactly 1 trillion, how you know? You use mana u gain for expanding pool. Also, you start with 300 mana....and no replenish or nothing. I think it's impossible, especially by wave 50. Wave 1337 maybe.

3. Grade 70s?! Maximum grade anyone made afaik is G55.

4. There's no max monster cap.....so enrage them to infinity number monsters or what?

Sorry to rain, but I think you need to refresh your memory of what is possible in GCL and remember that GC2 is much more exponential.
