Theater Mechanicus Stage 2 (Difficulty 3) - Guide & Tips
Gust Mechanicus Can Push Back Enemies
Make use of this mechanicus to reduce the pace of the enemies. It is recommended to place them in front of the gates. However, they need to be supported by other attacking mechanicus from behind.
Balance Mechanicus Between Two Paths
There will be two gates where wave of enemies will spawn from. It is important to balance the mechanicus for each path.
At The Earlier Waves, It Is Okay To Focus On One Side
For the first wave, while you are still collecting Sigils for mechanicus, it is possible to put more mechanicus on the other side and be the elemental support of the other. Do not forget that you cannot deal damage directly so it is recommended to at least put one damaging mechanicus.
Adjust The Mecha Based On The Element of The Enemies
Change or reconstruct mechanics depending on the element of the enemies in the field. This information will be revealed before the wave start so make sure to check it.
