After ~50 tries with ~30 getting to the boss, I have admitted defeat to NM Mistymire forest, I need help. I can clear the trash waves quite flawlessly but I have not been able to push the boss beyond ~90%. She always ends up tangled in one of my chokes and ends my fun.

My chokes consist of Mage walls, ensnare aura and an assortment of towers. The best results have been 1 MM + 1 FB + 1 LIT. I have access to a genie and app guardian, so my towers are all one-star if not three-star when she spawns and I run app guardian on my builder for the boss. I have the DU for an ensnare, str drain, 3 FB and 1 LIT towers aimed at the boss. I tried electric aura in place of lightning and didn't have a good feeling one way or the other.

The choke I have the biggest problem with is the top middle. I tried setting up in the trees just north of the crystal but the walls take a substantial amount of dmg. I shifted it further out into the top-top lane and that helped, but it left the top left to leak (esp ninjas) into the center section. So I moved top left out to the manifold, but then those walls started taking dmg...

Do you all build auras only around the boss? Or mines or both or something else? Where do you choke? What damage-dealing towers do you choke with? Do Wyrvens spawn during the boss?

I welcome any comments or suggestions!

nah dude its PROBABLY impossible to solo but 3 man is possible
I say that because you could probably kill it with a really nice tank squire if you swap from mage
I was lagging so hard I saw the boss in 2 places so all I did was repair, and my guard was a monk lol :X

Lol what kind of resolution is that? =o
It seems very wide..

1600x600
I deliberately made it very wide
saw my friends 3x1080p eyefinity setup and wanted to emulate that given that I have only 2 monitors and a crap gfx card

Solo is possible, took me 48 minutes.
I would say that it took about 20-25 just on the boss though.

Getting her to hit the barrier and stay on the barrier while maintaining chokes is crucial.

Thanks for the setup but this looks like it could get raped by spiders. None of your towers are facing the spawn points, which means the spiders spawn behind them and can disable your towers very easily.
Specifically I'm talking about the North Crystal and the Forge spots, which are quite troublesome areas to just leave alone like that.

It works, that looks a lot like what we did, with a slight variation

did that setup and soloed with fucking ease
awesome
