Stage 5 Patterns and Guides
|
Note: Theater Mechanicus stages have more than one pattern! In each stage run, you can encounter: • Different Enemies and Bosses • Different Wondrous Stick Bans • Different Wondrous Stick Draws We have tested the Mechanicus setups in our guides, but because of the random Wondrous Stick draws the results for your run might be different. |

Best Mechanici for Stage 5
| Icon | Mechanicus and Effect |
|---|---|
 Furious Discharge |
Used to DMG many enemies at once. Knocks enemies back when paired with a Pyro Tower. |
 Inferno |
Does massive DMG, especially with upgrades. You'll want to remove the Pyro Towers in the final rounds though. |
Best Wondrous Sticks for Stage 5
| Type | Wondrous Stick Effect |
|---|---|
 Fortune |
 Inferno Upgrades Furious Discharge UpgradesFurious Discharge: Heavenly Tumult |
Get the expensive Electro Upgrades!
We recommend balanced upgrades between Pyro and Electro in the first two waves. For waves three onward, you'll want to upgrade mostly Electro towers. Get the expensive ones, because those will defeat the Ruin Hunters and Ruin Graders easily!

Why should I use these characters?
You won't need to use characters with the setup above, but having back up Anemo characters for crowd control will help! Pyro characters are also good for triggering Overload when you remove all Pyro Towers in the final rounds.
Tips and Tricks for Stage 5
Video Walkthrough for Stage 5
Here's a video walkthrough of Game8 Japan's run with 0 escapes, and only 12 Mechanici.
Place Mechanici by the Terminus
Like with other two-portal stages, you should place Mechanici where the enemies meet. This means you'll have stronger defenses in one area!
