Class 3 and Class 4 multiply Entity stats to punishing levels on Game ID 123446017566246. Bring Endgame Build units — Frowner or Entity 67 carry, Smiler debuff, Bacteria DoT minimum.

Solo Class 4 is achievable with S-tier maxed units. Most players co-op until their roster matures — no shame in dual-player clears for better rewards per hour.

Class 4 Wave Plan

Waves 1–10: minimal placement — one Async Human and one Smiler. Save 60%+ cash for mid and boss phases.

Waves 11–17: add Entity 67 and Bacteria. Upgrade Smiler to debuff cap before wave 15 elites.

Waves 18–19: max Frowner or primary carry. Sell any level 1 placement units recouping cash for final boss upgrades.

Wave 20 boss: pop burst abilities immediately on spawn. Warrior cleans adds while Frowner focuses boss HP.

Ranked and Leaderboard Tips

Ranked mode from the mega update uses similar stat scaling — treat it like Class 4 with added time pressure. Pre-built loadouts in Team Builder save queue time.

Weekend 2x stacks with Class 4 clears for maximum material income. Farm when you can clear reliably, not when you barely survive.

Secret encounter reports increase on hard clears — push Class 4 on levels with known discovery mechanics per Secret guide.

Solo Class 4 Recovery Plan

Fail twice on Class 4 solo: drop to Class 3 same floor for material farming, or queue co-op with role split partner supplying missing debuff or burst. Repeated Class 4 fail attempts without roster change waste time — upgrade carry or add co-op before third attempt on Game ID 123446017566246.

Cash save discipline fixes many Class 4 failures without roster changes. If wave 20 boss timeouts occur with meta units, review waves 1–10 overspending — wave plan above targets 60%+ cash saved entering wave 11.

Missing debuff causes apparent "enrage" timeouts — boss HP simply exceeds DPS without Smiler reduction and Bacteria DoT ticks. Trading or summoning debuff before next Class 4 push beats maxing carry further without support.

Post-Clear Optimization

After first Class 4 clear, optimize farming route: same floor Class 4 during weekend 2x for materials, Class 3 speed clears between events for coin when 2x inactive. Rewards guide details bonus stacking windows.

Ranked mode queue uses same loadout — pre-build in Team Builder saving queue time. Ranked timing pressure punishes slow inspection; PC controls advantage matters more in ranked than casual Class 4.

Leaderboard pushes beyond first clear require talent optimization and maxed S-tier roster — Frowner, Entity 67, Async Human core with Smiler and Bacteria mandatory per meta rankings.
