Theater Mechanicus Stage 5 (Difficulty 6) - Guide & Tips

Strengthen Your Defenses In The Following Priority

Focus On Earning Veneficus Points On First Two Waves

Placing several recovery mechanicus supported by damage providing mechanicus will help on ganing a lot of points in early waves.

Replace These Recovery Mechanicus At Wave 3

From Wave 3, enemies will be alot more powerful so it is better to replace these mechanicus with damage producing Mechanicus.

Place Anemo Mechanicus By The Entrance Of Enemies

Supported by other damaging mechanicus, this will prevent smaller enemies to pass by easily.

Remove Anemo Mechanicus At Wave 6

During wave 6, almost all of the monsters are not affected by Anemo Mechanicus so it is better to replace it with other damaging mechanicus.

Freezing Enemies Will Be Important In Later Waves

For Wave 5 and 6, most of the enemies are huge monsters that can only be stopped by freezing them. Make sure to set atleast one Cryo and Hydro mechanicus in the area.
