........HOW?! Just...HOW?!?!?! The Evil Witch has soooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch health! Even when being bombarded with 270k idol's worth of damage buffs and talents, and epic/goldenepic gear for damage buffs AND being hacked at by a Swordplay-buffed Bush Whacker, she is damn near invulnerable! Maybe if the objective was to reach, say, area 100, that would be.....kiiiiind of more reasonable, but the only way to take her down is to bring an apocalypse-level amount of DPS also being fed to Bush Whacker to kill her within anything even close to a reasonable amount of time! That level of babysitting the game is unreal for 675 levels! Just.....HOW?!

Yes, it doesn't really matter what your DPS is, she adapts to it. Tanking is the way.

BTW, I have 800k idols, and still had to use a lot of buffs and constant babysitting to complete that objective...

When you reach the late game, her health does seem to scale more than at the start, but I can assure you she does scale. In the early stages of the run, she had enough health to reach my formation (while I was instakilling everything else), and 50 stages later, without me leveling up a single crusader, she STILL took the same amount of time to die. This is incompatible with a static health, because that should have increased by a few orders of magnitude in 50 stages...

Anyway, my suggestion is: quit the objective. If you don't kill everything, including the witch, until level 600, without resorting to buffs or clicking build, then you'll never make it. Farm more, and try it again in the future.

Teschio, I got to about area 570 before it was just taking way too long to bring her down without buff abuse (and I'm NOT having another"Slow Descent" debacle from earlier-game). Stopped and I'll try again in a while once I've maxed out more talents and possibly gotten better-buffing event crusaders.

Missy Lenoir, I figured out the splash damage tactic soon after posting my original comment, and yeah, that does help a LOT in the earlier stages. The Metal Soldierette by herself is pretty much enough to handle the witch so you don't have to waste formation space on a separate healer, like Rayna or Kouhri. But something that should be noted is that if the witch spawns during a boss area, you HAVE to beat her to continue, even if you beat the minions and boss instantly behind her.

Teschio, yup, I was planning on that. All my crusaders are plenty geared up enough and don't really need any jeweled chests anyway. I used a few to get some gear on the newbies, but won't be using any more until later when I've unlocked the other three.

Hello Animut,

This is how i did it with 100k idols :

Fist row : a tank ( a real one, the cat will not do, used Littlefoot for increased support over time)
Second row : the griffin for "under my wing"
Somewhere in your formation : a healer and an area damage dealer (like the mad wizard)

Up to level 600 you will kill everything behind the witch and move to next level
at somme point not killing the witch mean she will reappear at next level, then you need to stop auto progress and use a clicker heavily buffed for killing her before moving to next level

from 600 to 675 i used constantly 3 syphons (1 common + 1 uncommon + 1 rare), 3 accuracy, 3 splash damage and 3 power buffs

i also used a tons of time warp for being able to use savage strike whenever needed and add EP to my main damage dealer and littlefoot (didnt count but likely 30 epics and 40 uncommons)
i ended with 100EP and littlefoot well over 1k of "growing up" and storm rider
Max crusaders levels at that time : 5175, i dont think i could have pull it without

From 600 to 675 forget iddle game, you need to act a lot
