Castle in the Sky Stages - New Videos Posted

I've been having fun with my new software the last 2 days so I haven't actually had a lot of time to play or level my rangers. Mostly trying to get the hang of recording video for the stages and maneuvering YouTube.

I managed to get videos posted for most of second half of Castle in the Sky. Stage 102, 103, 105 are up now, and I voice-overed 102 & 105. I did 103 with YouTube annotations only because it's a super tedious stage that has no critical points in time that are worth mentioning. 

Anyway I hope it is helpful. I'm not sure which I like better, writing or videos. I think I enjoy writing more, but players probably use YouTube more and find it more helpful than screenshots. Let me know what you find better. 

I don't know why Blogspot doesn't let me embed the video previews of my own videos. :( So here are the links instead:

[Update: new videos since ranger stats change in bold]
If you are looking for help with Stage 108:
Enjoy!

    2. This one is better. Much safer. Xan, Alice, Ellin, Sol, Jessica.

    3. gee thanks, but i don't have any xan, and isn't it because you have activated the +45% ATK treasure?

      Delete
    4. I do have the 45% treasure bonus. But sorry, I can't go back in time and do a video without the bonus. Who do you use since Xan's not an option?

    5. i uses styne (60) instead, but he is very slow, so i used warrior jessica (60), but she's so fast and often get mid point before my army are bulit. I have sol (70), alice (70), ellin (60), yeah gacha doesn't good at me.. I'm at level 70 now and with the rubies given before i have spent approximately 300 rubies on gacha, the best and the only 4 star i got is alex, the rest is 3 star rangers.
      this is the problems : when i knocked all the tyler (first wave) down, my army still not good enough, then mabebe and dropped ice cream guy come (second wave), i intended to use ice shot before my army die (it happens a lot). I always triggered 'hurry up' then an infinite stream of enemy comes. Meteor doesn't help much although hurry-up-enemy only has half of their HP

    6. I went with Sol 70, Jessica 60, Alice 70, Fighter Moon 60, Ellin 60 and it actually seemed like a really good idea to go without a health ranger. Sol and Jessica have a lot of HP but they are splash so they have a very long cooldown. Fighter Moon is high enough HP that he can take a few hits from Tyler and not die immediately. He does ok damage too. Best of all, he is on a fast cooldown so you can get him out to hold the front. Then just keep making more Ellin and more Alice as you have money to do so. I save ice shot for right after Hurry Up.

    8. this is what i did after i changed the strategy (spoiler : still lose):
      my team are fighter moon (60) clara (60) sindy (60) jessica (60) sol (70), for the first wave with those tyler i still can handle it although it took a long time. Still, my army weren't good enough, then i walked past mid point and second wave came. Right after I knocked down the last tyler, hurry-up triggered. I didn't think to defend my army, just deploy as much as I can. My (stupid) thought that I must wait until the infinte stream are slowed. They will have been hit by items though. And yes it does, mabebes didn't come anymore, only tyler and a few dropped ice cream guy. When they reached my tower, i used repair tower for more time in invincibility. Then I used tornado, deploy my ranger (i have to start building my ranger). When I the first enemy came, I used ice shot before they touched my jessica. I give them some time and then I used meteor. all the mabebes are gone and only tyler and dropped ice cream guy left (some of them are new from the continuous stream). I thought I could win. My rangers hit the tower and could handle the enemy until roughly 75% enemy's tower remaining, my rangers died because they couldn't handle the stream anymore. Duh, I have been stuck for weeks.

      P.S : If the dropped ice cream guy still able to hit my army (the new-built in the second wave) within my claras' splash-attack-cooldown, surely all the claras and other rangers got hit and lose.

      Delete
    9. still lose, tee hee, maybe i was panicking and deploy whoever finished cooldown. I tried twice to see the differences. The first one i used ice shot before my rangers reached the enemy's tower, to save them before tyler knocked them down and die. The second one i must used ice shot when i reached the enemy's tower, and.... I couldn't reached there .__. When the first tyler wave I took much time, and my army wewn't good enough so when my rangers hit the tower (not 25% have been hit now, maybe 10%), my army knocked back.

      Thanks for the video anyway, maybe I could try more

    10. Remember, Alice does more dmg than Ellin and moon. If your front is safe (with lots of Jessica and sol), do not waste your $ on moon moon Ellin. Save enough to deploy Alice. It's tempting to hit the button when you have enough mineral for Ellin and moon, but in long run, Alice is more Dmg. When you are down to the wire like this, every mineral, every cool down counts. Moon is used as a co-tank. His job is not to hold the front, his job is only to be better when you run out of and Jessica and front is in immediate danger. Prioritize and streamline, this this really sounds like you're in the right direction

    11. why can't I maintain my army? maybe it is good when the enemies are gone. But, I only have a few rangers left, too. I need a strong-heavy-thick-meaty team like yours

      Delete
    12. Typing on phone, hot mess typos sorry. I mean, moon's job is only to be there when you run out of Sol and Jessica.

      Delete
    13. If I recall, Alice at 70 costs same or similar to sindy. Alice does over 30k,sindy only 16k.

      Delete
    14. I still can't make in time before hurry up. My well-built alices tank knocked down by dropped ice cream guy although my frontline is safe. My army always ruined in front of the tower, I used meteor to make sure my army is still well-built then i can splashed the tower down when i used ice shot. But they don't die :<

    15. Check what this player did. Two lowbies. Jessica only at 40, sindy at 58, Clara 60. He fought his way through hurry up with this pretty unimpressive team! O.O

      It would help if I included link... I need to sleep lol

    17. I used the team like your video, it is better than before but i still can't handle the wave when I hit the tower. I can't keep the army buffy just why .__. Let me try this again

      Delete
    18. it would be better if I post photo, I had hit half of the tower before my army ruined ._.

      sorry if I interrupted your sleep. I didn't notice the time difference in post's time stamp. In my country, it is still 3 PM

    19. i give up :< maybe it is not my luck to have a free sorcerer cony. this stage is insanely hard, i spent all day with no result, it is a waste of feather and my time :<

    20. You are able to win this stage

      Thia morning i used Sindy max Fight Moon max Clara Max Sol 60 and warrjess max

      Your sol much better than me. The important question is your mineral rate and max capacity

      I am at level 68 with my mineral rate and max prod at level 68 too.

      I only use my friend who has sorc cony plus 2 items ice and meteor and still win it. I hit hurry up in the last second but nothing they can do to my army again

      I believe the start is the important part

      I upgrade my mineral to 1220 then launch jessica, sindy, clara then moon

      Then when more tyler comes i slowly but sure deploy a few sol

      Why sol ? Tyler will hit some of my sol but my clara and sindy was protected by sol

      Then i dploy more warrjess and moon

      Nah if you think tyler are too close to your range

      Ice them and launch your best friend ranger

      Note that because you already use your ice. You better deploy more clara and sindy while they are freezed

      You should take the 1st wave safely

      Nah 2nd waves

      A few tyler and mabebe

      This ia defending time

      Deploy more moon and jessica plus sol

      Sol is important because he has high HP and stand infront clara. While wait for new warjess and moon, sol would hold tyler and mabebe to hit your clara sindy

      If you have enough mineral left, thats okay to deploy clara. I dont like deploy sindy because we need to burn their tower as fast as we can and thats why clara move speed and splash are good at this point. Also thomas often appear at this point

      You will soon overcome 2nd wave

      Nah third wave or hurry up, mabebe out and few tyler, burn them with meteor and not long before your take their tower down

      If your 1st wave was weak use ice at 1st wave

      But if you strong enough, save that ice for 2nd wave.

      Hope my advice help you. If i can beat them within 3 minutes and my sol only 460. You should able to win it too

    21. You are able mate

      Without ksm hiphop dk boss (i save my big rubies for next event period)

      I am arrive at stage 108. So you can do it too

      Delete
    22. Solid plan, Smart. It is totally doable. You have the rangers, you have the level. It is really about adjusting the timing to your advantage and execution. Sometimes, you have to memorize every single enemy. Count how many Tylers are out, count how many before you can cross the midpoint. Then count how many ice cream you can kill before it's too much so you know when you critically need to use items. Luckily this stage always deploys enemies in the same order so you can predict and plan every move you make.

    23. Yup panic, i havent activated my treasure yet , i must find 1 treasure again in tuesday to complete castle treasure

      That also tell there are no reason we cant beat stage 100 without castle treasure.

      I did it without castle treasure, if i get the treasure next week it would be easier for me to beat stage 100

      Nah i like your latest post. A ball of death will determine our fate in 2nd waves. Thata right

      Often players feel happy when they take tyler down but then died in 2nd wave

      The ball of death will determine your performance. I like your nickname for them hahaha, ball of death

      I hope the anonymous will soon pass stage 100. Keep in your mind bro that i passed it without castle treasure

      Regards
      Bill

    24. umm, i keep my jessica production at minimum, because they walk fast and get out from that ball of death, maybe something wrong about the priority of rangers that i should deploy. I only deploy moon if the frontline is not buffy anymore. i keep produce clara and alice. Alice is good for knock tyler down, but she is weak against dropped ice cream guy.
      If I don't have much sol, when sol get knocked down (don't die yet), enemy is getting closer, my clara and alice are in danger.
      If i Have much sol, I don't have enough attacker so my army will melt in no time.
