Challenge Mode

Challenge Mode is a gauntlet of scenarios (12 per region, totaling to 180 once all regions get challenges) in which you make a blueprint that adheres to special rules (varies between challenges) to defeat waves upon waves upon enemies. Successful completion of a challenge will give you a reward which may come as a module or something that would help influence gameplay.

There are 2 modes to challenges Normal Mode, and Hard Mode. Hard Mode imposes extra restrictions to increase the difficulty. On top of the normal restrictions from Normal Mode, all challenges universally also...

double the required amount of waves needed to finish the challenge. disables the boosts from the Town (Museme, Arcade, Shipyard, ect.).

UPDATE: Page needs to include Hard Mode Challenges

Note: If the solutions on this page do not work for you, your Laboratory and Museum powerstone Boosts may not be sufficient.

If you have alternate solutions to Challenges that are not here, please use the Discussion page or create another solution box instead of editing an existing solution with your own solution.

Modules:

• Defensive Module:

  • Fire Shell
  • Water Shell
  • Basic Shield
  • Electricity Barrier
  • Water Barrier
  • Elemental Resistance

Notes: Auto Skip, Wave Streaming and Wave Surge Software from inside the Headquarters are important (although not necessary) to make this much faster and to keep the Shell Modules from reseting

Level #2

THE DIRT IS ALIVE. CAN YOU OVERCOME 325 WAVES OF ANGRY, TANKY AND BOSSY EARTH ELEMENTALS?

Elements: (Tanks and Bosses)

Goal: Reach wave 325

Modules:

• Defensive Module:
  • Heartstopper Aura
  • Earth Shell
  • Nature Barrier
  • Diamond Foundation
  • Basic Shield

Notes: Diamond Foundation and Earth Shell (Guarantees survival), Basic Shield, Nature Barrier (One hit KO all enemies), and Heartstopper Aura (If you don't have Nature Barrier and import this blueprint, it will still work because of Heartstopper Aura - it just will take longer). You can switch out Diamond Foundation Granite Foundation (Possibly other ones as well but haven't tested). Adding more software will probably make the run even faster.

Hard Mode Changes:

Goal: Reach 650 instead of 325

Modules:

• Offensive Module:
  • Combustion

• Defensive Module:
  • Diamond Foundation
  • Earth Shell
  • Basic Shield
  • Nature Barrier

Notes: Auto Skip, Wave Streaming and Wave Surge are necessary to stack up max ammount of enemies on top of each other for massive dmg from Combustion, otherwise use Heartstoper Aura or Unholy Aura although it will take much longer.

Level #3

NATURE STRIKES BACK. MAKE SURE TO HOLD BACK THE INCOMING WAVES OF ARCHERS AND ASSASSINS.

Elements: (Archers and Assassins)

Goal: Reach wave 500

Challenge Rules:

• Max. 5 modules in total
• None
• Modules have to be maxed T3 or above
• Modules will be set to maxed T3

Challenge Rewards: Stab Prevention

Modules:

• Defensive Module:
  • Fire Barrier
  • Nature Shell
  • Diamond Foundation
  • Basic Shield

Notes: This is just a modified version of @Tortoise Box 's script for challenge 2 but remade against nature enemies. It takes a bit of time but gets the job done. Unlike in challenge 2 the diamond foundation is actually required here unless you've spent a lot of time in the museum and in the fire and nature experiments.

Hard Mode Changes:

Goal: Reach 1000 instead of 500

Modules:

• Defensive Module:
  • Diamond Foundation
  • Nature Shell
  • Flame Barrier
  • Basic Shield
  • Magma Foundation

Notes: This is a modified version of @Coffee#5926 solution for normal mode, Magma Foundation was added to multiply Flame Barrier dmg. This will take a while. I recommend using Auto Skip, Wave Streaming and Wave Surge, even having them constantly active your shield points shouldnt drop bellow 30% so dont worry about dying.
