Dungeon Defenders - No Towers Allowed Crystal Cave Insane Challenge 4p Armor Farm

Описание: Why I Play No Towers Allowed Crystal Cave Challenge (combat ~6m, total ~7m)
Armor! Completing NTA CC rewards 6 armor pieces per hero. At the end of the challenge, 240 armor pieces are rolled, and the 6 best are chosen as a reward. This is a great alternative and more active way to armor farm. With the rewards nerfed twice and the mobs and bosses buffed twice, being able to run this map on Nightmare does require the right team to complete. Higher end players are also able to farm nightmare with splits. I am not even close to them so I have to take a different path and run the map on Insane HC with 4 splits. The armor may be slightly less in quality but still pretty good for most players.

These are my results from 100 runs on NTA CC on Insane HC:
100 Runs
151 Ultimate
15 Ultimate+
5 Ultimate++

Hero Composition
Jester with Cat and Moon Staff
Monk with Little Wizard (Wizard is for AOE damage to mobs that get close)
Summoner with Cat and Eye (Eye is for long-range mob kills)
Summoner with Cupid and Eye (Cupid heals the heroes and Eye is for long-range mob kills)

For the Kraken fight, I just hero boost and let the pets do the work.

Things that can help new and old players:
1.) I'd watch this guide from Retro Pat:    • 33 TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS IN DUNGEON DEFENDERS  
It's a great summary of things a lot of new players would miss. The comments are worth reading as well and are mostly from extremely active members of the DDRnG discord group.

2.) I'd join the DDRnG Discord. It's a great place to learn from, ask questions, and find others willing to help run maps if needed.   / discord  

3.) Chiku's 0 to Early late-game Progression Guide 2023: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
This guide is THE roadmap to help new players navigate the massive amount of content.

4.) If you don't have the game, buy the Ultimate Edition as well as the Hermit DLC. The Hermit DLC was introduced in the summer of 2023 and is not included in the ultimate edition of the game. Hermit is a great character, and many of his towers have uses on almost every map.

5.) General Best In Slot Guide for Newcomers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
This is a great cheat sheet on what's generally considered best for each hero and each type of hero.

6.) Dungeon Defender Map Planner: https://dundefplanner.com/list.php
A repository of builds other players have created and used to play and farm maps.
