Attack of the Coin Creeps | Pudding Time | Tin Parade | Puppet Show | Crystal Road
Attack of the Coin Creeps is a Hunting Zone that is available on Saturdays and Sundays. Unlike other Hunting Zones, no items drop from enemies, but substantial amounts of coins drop instead.
Strategy
Attack of the Coin Creeps consists of five floors against 3-5 Coin Creep enemies. One of these enemies will be a Coin Gobbler. Every turn, a Power Point will spawn. If the Power Attack point remains after the player's turn, the Coin Gobbler will move to its location and devour it. The next turn, the Coin Gobbler will execute Emission Energy: Cross (All) -- a powerful entire row/column attack that hits through obstacles -- from its current location. Spike floor traps and rock barriers may also spawn in random locations for each battle. Coin Creeps low in health may attempt to flee, but have no knockback attacks, so this can be prevented by surrounding them completely.
A rare Golden Coin Creep worth three times the base coin value may spawn in place of a normal enemy. If the Golden Coin Creep is the last remaining enemy, it will flee even with full health.
On the last floor, a rare Coin Creep Fighter may spawn, worth four times the base coin value. This miniboss will display a "Preparing to Flee" message after his health has been reduced or a certain amount of time has elapsed.
Enemies
- Coin Creep (Sword/Spear/Bow): Normal Attack
- Coin Creep Gorger (Staff): Normal Attack, Emission Energy: Cross (All) (only when powered up)
- Coin Creep Mage (Staff/Various Elements): Elemental Area (1) Attack
- Golden Coin Creep: Normal Attack
- Coin Creep Fighter (King): Breath Area(1)
The optimal strategy is to focus on a single enemy each turn making sure to utilize the Power Point. In addition to finishing the enemy so that it wont run from hitting low health, you can farm skill boosts through triggering skills every turn. Pay careful attention to area attacks which your characters may have equipped as they may damage nearby Coin Creeps, causing them to flee. Coin Creeps may also flee when alone (this doesn't apply to the Coin Creep Gorger).
Hunting Zones
Approximate coin values below. This assumes you kill every creep. High variance is due to the number of creeps per floor and number of Golden Coin Creeps that spawn.
- Zone 1: base=70 coins, total 1000-1500 coins, 10 stamina (~125 coins/stam)
- Zone 2: base=238 coins, total 4000-5000 coins, 15 stamina (~300 coins/stam)
- Zone 3: base=441 coins, total 7000-8000 coins, 20 stamina (~375 coins/stam)
In-Game Tip
Powered points appear one after another in the Hunting Zone's "Attack of the Coin Creeps." Grab them before the gorgers can gobble them up and use them to put a swift end to the coin creeps.
