big hen is almost I M P O S S I B L E to beat but fear not i have a 4-step guide to easily defeating this menace

1. get 3 friends and pick shifu robot as attacker role all of you
2. chase the boss fruitlessly around on sunset for 40 chapters while it does nothing
3. (optional) keep 1-3 shifu robots dead on even chapters and 1-3 shifu robots dead on odd chapters
4. repeatedly kamikaze attack the big hen until you win. you might want to set up an auto-clicker for this part

its almost I M P O S S I B L E to lose this way. leave the little hens up to reduce big hens defense to speed up the process and get those cheevos

try using 1 million shifu robot (attacker) and just kamikaze bomb the bird over and over again. watch out for the sea bird dive bomb attack. it can destroy precious drop tiles. if the match goes on for long enough there might not be any drop tiles left so try to finish it as quickly as possible. to speed things up consider adding a protector role to your team. there is a secret achievement where you have to try your hardest to avoid killing the boss for 50 chapters



im not tricking you into doing the opposite of what you should be doing i swear. like picking avenger role mimyuu. dont worry though this achievement is really easy since the sea bird is nearly impossible to kill in the first place

hell bot is a lot more difficult than big hen. in fact is almost I M P O S S I B L E to beat. here is a step by step guide

1. get 3 friends and pick shifu robot as attacker role 3 of you and 1 of you a tank in the supporter position
2. tank runs laps around the cyberdimension to restore fallen shifu robots with healing magic to avoid total party wipe on the first chapter
3. repeatedly kamikaze attack hell bot until you win. you might want to set up an auto-clicker for this part

pro gamer tip: hell bot has different movesets so if it gets the B U L L S H I T eye beam attack (as seen in anime) just retire and restart the lobby

you would be a fool to challenge poppo absolutely no guide can help u against this certified impossible boss ! if only there was something like a unit that could would have 0 base attack but always have at least +2 attack in battle that u could use as an attacker then it would be an excellent idea to bring as many as possible of this unit

summer cirno cant be beaten on hyper difficulty since the highest difficulty for her is extreme. if you want to try the extremely challenging extreme difficulty pick 4x shifu with attacker role. or anything else really. to win you have to hit the boss

update: hyper beast has been hunted down. there is a secret achievement for killing it after it has rampaged 5 times. take away most of its lives and then run around in circles for 50 chapters waiting for it to do its hyper 5 times



no seriously i'm telling the truth. optional: bring a unit which can survive 5 damage. if the secret cheevo is not important (it is assuredly) you can use 4x shifu with attacker role against hyper beast instead and beat it in 10 chapters

however i recommend doing the secret cheevo since it is very enjoyable and will make you want to play more co-op

combine all the strategies from the other bosses in order to create the U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E. strategy and the only way to defeat nightmare amalgam. if you need a hint it involves shifu robot (attacker)

there are 5 confirmed afflictions in co-op as of the latest patch

1. attacker
starter type and also the weakest. avoid this one unless you want to go the extra mile to unlock the alright-ish flame elemental affliction

2. shieldmaster
can spend 1 hp to prevent taking 1 hp. needless to say this invaluable skill is essential to any co-op attempt. always bring at least 1-2 of this affliction

3. plus-sign
powerful healing magic. if the afflictions by now are starting to sound like mmorpg class archetypes you would be wrong. they are nothing like that

4. flame elemental
weak to water type bosses. strong against everything else. how ever you need to level the starter type role for a long time before you can use it

5. bloodmage
spoiler alert: unlocked by reaching level 30 as each of the other afflictions. while this affliction is powerful it is frankly not worth the effort

6. purple
role with purple color

if you have trouble you can grind some skill points on lower difficulties. here is an instructional video

if you dont have shifu robot unlocked sorry you didnt play the game enough to beat co-op mode on hyper difficulty but you can remedy this by grinding multiplayer

if you dont have friends sorry you wont beat co-op mode on hyper difficulty and no amount of multiplayer grinding will remedy this
