Defeated the tough boss without companions
This is the clip: Luality plays Solo Tactician, the game’s hardest mode, without a companion, and faced the final boss of Act 1.
She is on a small platform with the boss: both the boss and the heroine are already pretty battered. She then drops a healing potion and uses a spell to activate a lever on a neighboring platform. Now a heavy hammer rushes down, dealing around 140 damage each to the boss and the player and eliminating the boss and the player.
But because the healing potion she threw on the ground shatters due to the impact of the anvil, her heroine gets back up with 14 life points, while the boss remains defeated on the ground.
The player says she had to get creative here – the boss would have defeated her on the next turn. She loves that the game lets her do crazy things. She is on the same wavelength as shroud.
Boss enthuses: “Beautiful, I love it”

Wincke summarizes the strategy in his own words and says: “It’s beautiful. I love it.”
