7. Jungle Monster Stage-by-Stage Strategy and Farming Priority 🐺
- ✅ Jungle monsters are divided into 3 stages, with different health and soul amounts for each stage.
- ✅ Stage 1: Weak and provides a small amount of souls.
- ✅ Stage 2: Provides moderate health and souls.
- ✅ Stage 3: Powerful but provides a lot of souls.
- ✅ Jungle monsters and vending machines do not recover health when attacks are interrupted, so if enemy troopers are attacking allied guardians, they must be dealt with first.
- ✅ Farming priority is Troopers > Vending Machine/Jungle Monster.

8. Late-Game Goal Setting and Strategic Decision-Making 🎯
- ✅ In the late game, you must destroy the enemy base to win the game.
- ✅ Destroy the walkers and cooperate with your teammates to destroy the remaining walkers.
- ✅ If all enemy walkers have been destroyed but it is dangerous to destroy the base guardian, disrupt their growth by farming enemy jungle monsters or move the urn to induce a team fight.
05:34 - 06:02
9. Urn and Mid-Boss Utilization Strategies 🏺
- ✅ The urn is an object that is generated at one end of the map and must be moved to the opposite side.
- ✅ Moving the urn provides a lot of souls to the entire team.
- ✅ If you defeat the mid-boss, a high stone will come down, and you can get a buff by acquiring it with a strong punch.
- ✅ Health increases when a buff is acquired, and you revive 3 seconds after death.

- ✅ Destroying the Patron reduces the enemy's time.
- ✅ The Patron temporarily becomes invulnerable and moves to the pit in the center of the base.
- ✅ Destroying the Patron that has landed in the pit wins the game.
