Stage 4 Egg Encounter
| Egg Type | Hatch Time | Avg Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Small Egg | 4 rounds | ~2 components |
| Medium Egg | 9 rounds | ~3 components |
| Large Egg | 13 rounds | ~5 components |
- Losing a round reduces egg incubation timer by 1 turn each loss
- Example: Select "4-turn egg", lose twice → egg hatches in only 2 rounds
Egg Choices by Timing
| Egg | Avg Hatch Round | Estimated HP Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Small Egg | ~Stage 4-3 | 1 lost round |
| Medium Egg | ~Stage 5-2 | 3 lost rounds |
| Large Egg | ~Stage 5-6 | 4-5 lost rounds |
Medium Egg is the most balanced choice in most situations
Egg selection depends on your current HP and board strength
Golem Encounter Overview
At the end of Stage 4, you'll select 1 of 3 unique golems that will join your team for the rest of the game.
Three Options Available:
- Frontline (Tank)
- Backline (Damage)
- Economy (Gold Generation)
Strategic Impact:
This choice significantly affects your late-game composition and should align with your overall strategy.
Key Takeaways & Tips
-
Choose eggs based on your HP status and potential to survive rounds
-
Medium egg is most common, safest choice
-
Frontline Golem currently safest universally
-
Backline Golem excels in situational aggressive composition setups
-
Always avoid the Gold-generating Golem based on current balance
Pro Tip
If you're losing rounds intentionally to hatch your egg faster, make sure to scout opponents to lose to the weakest boards and minimize HP loss.
This strategy is called "loss streaking"
