How to Beat Stage 4 - Rumor Mill

Beat the Lordly Trashcans

Once you're in Wave 2 of both halves, try to defeat the Lordly Trashcans as fast as you can as they hit hard and provide a lot of points upon defeat.

Stage 4 - First Half

Take Out The Sableclaw Wolftroopers First in Wave 1

Focus on removing the Sableclaw Wolftroopers in Wave 1 of the second half before they enter the Moon Rage state and increase their own SPD.

Prioritize the Lesser Stings in Wave 2

If there are no Lordly Trashcans on the field, prioritize on taking out the Lesser Sting enemies since they can inflict Outrage on your party members.

Stage 4 - Second Half

Defeat Bubble Hounds to Inflict Bleed in Wave 1

In Wave 1 of the second half, you can take out the Bubble Hound enemies so that they can explode and inflict the Bleed DoT onto other enemies.

Take Out the Automaton Beetles in Wave 2

For Wave 2, take out the Automaton Beetles before they attack to prevent them from summoning a barrier and save up a lot of turns.
