From a Factual Stand Point, Undead Faction Stage 21 is the toughest in whole game.
The Waves leading up to Boss are the most Difficult.
- Wave 1 is Double Martyr
- Wave 2 is Triple Valkyrie + Warcaster + Errol
The Boss is the most Difficult.
- A1 - Single Target Ignore Defense
- A2 - AOE Stun + Fear on 3 turn Cycle
- Passive - Gains Turn Meter when ever he takes big hit.
Undead Faction face the Toughest Waves + Toughest Boss.
However, Most players don't score Undead Faction as tough to beat overall.
Most Faction List have Undead Hordes near the 4-6 Ranking Range.
The main reason why Undead Hordes isn't considered a Top 3 Faction Nightmare is because the Undead Faction is stacked with tons of heroes.
Undead Faction face the Toughest Waves & Toughest Boss, but they also own the Best Set of Heroes.
- Elegaius is needed to put the Valkyrie skills on Cool Down + Strip any other Buffs
- Frozen Banshee, Bad El, or Nethril is needed because Poison doesn't trigger the Boss.
(The Boss gains meter from his passive when you do big hits on him.)
- Gorgorab, Siphi, or Grinner is needed to help revive any fallen for 3 star.
- M.Mage or Skartosis is needed to cleanse your team from Boss Stun/Fear
- Vogoth or Zelotah can be used for extra Sustain.
