Supernova Tactics – Petrify Build

Petrify / Phantom / Reflect build for easy clearing of Impossible difficulty.

Introduction

All credit goes to doemondo !

The general idea of this build is to get a ton of mp generation, get Defender Bot to taunt all the enemies together, and then nuke everything down.

This has been the best build I could find so far, I have cleared impossible with it under 150 crystals.

Team

* = On elite ability means the ability is not important. Just listing most impactful elite abilities.

Elune

• Elite Ability: mp per hit

Defender Bot

(Get just enough defenses to survive the first 15 waves then focus on here)

Third Priority – Stat Buffs:

• Armor
• Health
• Magic Resist
• Attack Speed
• Regeneration / Regeneration Range
• Negate / Negate Crit
• Magic Penetration

Items

Because we have two mimes you only want 2 equipable items that are not general only. (Only want the best items copied).

Equipable: (2 of the 3)

• Heart of Stone: stun + petrify protection (on Defender Bot)
• Mana Storm: ability damage (on Mahzoon)
• Storm Builder: lose 1 range, gain mp per hit and attack speed (on Mahzoon)

Passive:

• Learned Knowledge: mp per second
• Forced Knowledge: mp per attack
• Hoarder: damage per passive
• Self Starter: bonus defenses if no items equipped
• Swift Mobilization: attack speed

General Only:

• Aegis: damage reduction
• Rebirth: second life

Enemy Buffs

Always Take:

• Lower your dodge and parry (not used in this build)
• Attack Speed (more reflection)
• Armor (most damage is from magic)
• Healing Reduced
• Shop/Gold Debuffs (once you get all units 3 star)

Avoid:

• Enemies start with mana
• Chance to negate extra crit damage
• Lower players mana per attack
• Ability fizzle
• Auto attacks silence

General Tips

• Always keep 50 gold for max interest.
• Protection skill is amazing, I use Shot in the Dark as my backup.
• QT314 and any assassin is a good start.
• Watch General position vs assassins. (I keep at least 1 unit behind the general).
• When things get hard watch for enemy Elune/Vixenda and possibly skip the wave.
• XR-42 between Elune and Mahzoon for quick aoe.
• 3 star all items after all team (6 units) is at least 2 star.
