Prismata puzzle solution: VILE

Mission description

After a quick in-flight practice session, Swade and Logan meet with Anya at the Guardian HQ to resume their investigation.

Starting state

player: 7 Drones, 2 Engineers

enemy (Giselle): 8 Drones, 3 Engineers

set: Engineer, Drone, Blastforge, Wall, Steelsplitter, Animus, Tarsier (all inf supply)

Giselle's Drones have the VILE skin.

Mission objectives

Eliminate all of Giselle's units.

Solution

The enemy might not always play the same way so solutions might require adaption, but this one worked easily for me. I thought the enemy's advantage of having an extra Engineer wouldn't be big enough to offset how badly it would play, so I figured it should be possible to win without red, and I was right.

1. DD (Giselle: DD)

2. DDE (Giselle: DDD)

3. DDD (Giselle: DDDB)

4. DDDB (Giselle: SDDB)

5. WDDBB (Giselle: SSB)

From here on, follow a very simple logic: hold 1 Steelsplitter if it'll exploit, otherwise click them all. Buy as many Walls as needed, then as many Steelsplitters as many as possible, then as many Engineers as possible.
