HALL OF FAME – 5th stage of the BLITZ TOURNAMENT

Kamikaze

Walkthrough description for the fifth stage of the "Conservatory" blitz tournament.

At the start, there are five heroes, and one more is in prison.
Aiden – the most powerful of all – against seven Archangels.
Labeta – against fifty-three hydras.
Adjit – to be honest, it's unclear who he is against, probably Pandora (45 harpies).
Serena – against one harpy, seemingly just so they would allow her to take Armageddon's Blade.
Fyuir – the trendiest hero in the latest series – against the Conservatory of griffins specifically.
And finally, Dessa – he is the one who will remain in an "interesting" position at the end of the game.

Battle #1. Aiden arranges his units (1 Griffin – 1 Griffin – 1 Griffin – 1 Pikeman – 1 Griffin – 1 Griffin – 1 Dragon).
With this arrangement, the Archangels kill five griffins and deal 90 damage to the dragon. We cast "Force Field," behind which the pikeman hides. The next task is to manage to blind the two bottom Archangels before they kill the dragon. This is doable if the tent is utilized to the fullest. And so on, alternating "Force Field" and "Lightning" spells, we destroy the enemy. Losses: 5 Griffins.
Aiden then takes the nomad and a pile of gold (5000), exchanges one dragon for passage through the guards, and stops near the portal to wait.
The tent remains intact – I never found out if it is needed later.
Battle #2. Labeta. In the first moment, she moves the snipers to the left (it's more convenient on the snow). To the right stands the seer's tree, who exchanges the Spirit of Despair for 500 coins. The artifact is useful, of course, but I don't recommend taking it anyway. Losses in this reported battle are unlikely to exceed 500 gold. In the starting arrangement, she also split the gargoyles in half. There was just enough mana to avoid losing a single unit. A hit-and-run type of battle, slowed flies against fast units and magic.
Battle #3-4. Adjit. There is a very interesting quest here: it's offered to exchange very useful snipers for wooden ones like Dendroids. Specifically two for two, and the most interesting part is that the dendroids are cheaper than the snipers. So Adjit runs for some gold (1200) to the swamp (don't forget to move the snipers to the left of the gnolls). Then back to the portal. But first, Labeta and Aiden's movements must be completed.
After the battle, Labeta learns literacy, takes the cash (2500) and the Titan's Cuirass, and runs to the portal. There are just enough move points left to jump out of the portal, take the dragon from Aiden, and go exchange the green one for cash (3000).
Aiden leaves through the portal. Just one move left to give the dragon and the tent to Labeta. After that, our heretic resigns.
Adjit again. He learns Lightning, takes the snipers, tent, gargoyles, nomad, and Titan's Cuirass from Labeta; gives a gnoll in exchange and waits.
Now it's Serena's turn. She learns Lightning from Labeta and takes the gnoll. Labeta is left with one dragon and runs to the seer to exchange the green one for money. Serena, with one sniper and one gnoll, heads to the portal and kills a harpy (12,12) along the way. Meanwhile, Adjit cleans up the glade by taking Pandora (10000), who is however guarded by 45 harpies. Lightning and the Cuirass help a lot with this. He then stops at the portal, waiting for Serena.
Battle #5 start. Serena meets Fyuir on the other side of the portal and exchanges a wolf from him for a sniper and a gnoll. Next, she releases Dessa from prison and returns to the Conservatory. She takes a pikeman from Fyuir and attacks the Conservatory (after first taking the cuirass from Adjit). Serena has one wolf and one pikeman, but she has the Titan's Cuirass. The Royal Griffin attacks the pikeman, the wolf moves. A lightning strike on the royal one and minus 20 enemies. Serena leaves the arena.
Battle #5 end. Fyuir exchanges with Adjit: gives air elementals, a gnoll, pikemen, and takes the artifacts. Dessa runs to his friends. He opens the quest guards, takes 2 riders, gives the hydras and riders to Fyuir, and takes the swordsmen from him. Fyuir attacks the conservatory and ...... wipes out the remaining beasts without losses. The main thing is that his own units rarely clash. Fyuir's army (19 archers, 4 riders, 5 snipers, 15 hydras).
Zoo. Here is another little nuance. Give Dessa 1 Angel and 2 Riders, he opens the quest guards and is left without units (this way we save another pikeman). The bottom guard opens, he takes the Blade, picks up the Necklace. Adjit takes his units to the guild. On the way to the Freelancer Guild, Fyuir receives the artifacts from Dessa and turns the beasts into the zoo - Freelancer Guild, we have 33838 gold! Victory.

TOTAL GOLD QUANTITY:
5000 – Aiden near the nomad
2500 – Labeta immediately after the dragonflies
1200 – Adjit in the swamp
3000 – Labeta for the Green Dragon from the seer
10000 – Adjit in Pandora
2100 – Angel
1400 (2*700) – Riders
2520 (15*168) – Hydras
1400 (5*280) – Snipers
1330 (19*70) – Archers
840 (4*210) – Swordsmen
140 – Nomad
49 – Gnoll Marauder
1470 (35*42) - Pikemen
364 (4*91) – Gargoyles
525 (3*175) – Air Elementals

PS. Another decent option is for Dessa to attack the conservatory instead of Serena with three hydras. He blasts lightning four times, dealing 335 damage at a time. Then +pikeman+wolf-3 hydras (+42+70-3*168=-392), which amounts to 33838-392=33446
