EX Handle the Horde - Tips and Strategy Guide

While the objective is to defeat many enemies within the time limit, this is a battle that you cannot lose. You only need to reach a high number of KOs to complete the challenge.

Cook Food Before Starting the Challenge

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Cook Food Before Starting the Challenge
To defeat enemies faster, we recommend cooking food that boosts your damage output.

If you have completed all cooking quests, cook Spicy Pepper Steak, Meat Pie, and Salt-Grilled Gourmet Meat to get a total of +22% damage.

Use a Mob Clearing Character

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Use a Mob Clearing Character
Use characters that are good at fighting groups of enemies such as Teba, Impa, and Link. You can also use Zelda with a Master Cycle as she can easily defeat mobs of enemies and navigate around the map quickly.

Defeat Powerful Foes
