And I'm sitting here, haven't even touched ?-8, and after over 10 tries still only 2 medals on ?-7. Oh, and did I mention I haven't cleared ?-4 yet? RNGesus hates me.

Managed to clear ?-7 today. Alltogather it gave 3 tries. Followed the advise here and the girls for once choose the correct paths.
Back to ? - 8 which I still need to finish first, but considering I would be farming that one anyway, its no real problem.

?-8 seems simpler than ?-7. Roughly one out of four tries should be successful.

Top left tent: 2 medium speed squads
Top right tent: 1 slow team, just fast enough to hit the switchnode before the other two teams reach it
Bottom two tents: 1 fast team in each tent works better for me than placing both in the bottom tent. For some reason, knights have a strong habit of taking the same direction in random nodes. Just observation, but I still don't believe the random nodes are pure RNG. If they are, then the randomizer is of quite crappy quality.

Question: ?-4 or ?-8 for farming, for those who have completed both? ?-8 gives a guaranteed 6, but the RNG is pure hell (I often miss at least 1 chest), where ?-4 hasn't been nearly as bad (the only thing I miss regularly is that boss between 2 RNG nodes) but only gives 5 guaranteed (but often gives 2 extra). They're probably similar, with ?-8 having the edge and I've just been unlucky with the chests, but what do you guys think?

In ?-8 You also get more gold.
However - and this is quite the big thing - ?-4 chest are easy to get, and the chance for extra gold chest is pretty good as well.
It seems that from 5 runs, at least 2 are with one or two extra gold chests.
Not just Ampys but also extra+2 crystals.
I´d say - if you need gold, farm ?-8, if you want to go for a chance Ampy run the ?-4.
Best pull I had from that map was 4 out of 5 gold chests.

So finally got ?-8

And it gave me an Amp

And a Garden...but I only had 57E but a gather....that gave me 34 energy

And the garden only dropped 2 lv 100 many

Tempted to try a 5 drop -why not ahhh bronzy

ah well

Sniddy, go home you're drunk. Secret Gardens dont drop amps/ampys!

Yessssss finally! Now ?-8...

This is a great strategy. It only took me 2 times on ?-8 with this squad placement to get 3 medals.

For ?-8, default placement 3star half the time for me with balanced team (500-550 speed). Got lucky with ?-7, "only" needed 5 try. ?-4 was the worst.
