Challenge Mode

Challenge Mode is a gauntlet of scenarios (6 per region, totaling to 90 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.

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

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.

Level #3

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

• Defensive Module:
  • Fire Barrier
  • Nature Shell

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.
