Old Ruin - Troop Setups with a Vet

[Pyratic]

Another Adv i had to do in the chain. Here are my results.

Camp 1 - 60 Scavenger/60 Stonethrower - 13R/1ES/236C (11R loss)
Camp 2 - 60 Scavenger/70 Guard Dog - 44R/1S/205ES (40R loss)
Camp 3 - 60 Scavenger/50 Ranger - 13R/1ES/236C (10R loss)
Camp 4 - Leader - 60 Ranger/1 One-eyed Bert - 90ES/100C/20B/40XB (No losses)

There are 10 walls to kill at this point. 1R seems to work just fine with no losses.

Camp 5 - 100 Grey Wolf/1 Croaker - 15R/235XB (9R loss)

Camp 6 - 60 Shadowsneaker/80 Fanatic - 86R/164ES (80R loss)
Camp 7 - 80 Cultists/1 Witch of the Swamp - 65R/80C/105XB (61R loss)
Camp 8 - 1 Witch of the Swamp/80 Firedancer - 180M/70XB (180M loss)
Camp 9 - Leader - 1 Spawn of Hell - 70M/180ES (66M loss) or 118R/132ES (118R loss)

Edit: 5340 Exp is reward from this adv. Nothing else, other then the 10 balloons from the quest.

you sure on camp 5... if i put up 235xb against 100 wolves... won't the wolves take my xbows?

i did 15 r and 235 c and it worked out fine...

[Pyratic]

Positive, thats what the 15R are for.

Using 201 E for Camp 2 but only brought 165 E??

[ZBest]

First camp is 12R 1E 237C



Block is tight with soldiers in the first camp (13 sec or so) -- with elites, you have 33 sec



Second block is pretty ragged-edge trying to keep the block alive in Camp 2.

95R is a 2-round block that will get the kill into the leader (but you'll always lose the troops)
191R is a 3-round block that is so tight it has ~3 seconds in it (nerve-racking tight but losing the recruits if it fails -- meh)
I suggest the 85R 70S 45C because it's got the 23 sec buffer and the failure cost is still low.
You can use 100E 100C if you want to buy another 20 sec.

Camp 6 is 80 Shadowsneaker/80 Fanatic, not 60 Sahdowsneakers. Attack with 70R 120S 60E (70R 4S lost)

[Thorsten]

Sorry Wimpy you can replace all remaining elites with regular soldiers ;-)

[Tibrogargan]

Here's an Elite Solder block for the last leader, for those with no cannons

[Moonlime]

Tight block, but it worked well with the config shown on the picture, no problems at all. Overall, easy adventure. Thanks
