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.

- 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.

Modules:

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.

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.
