Arena Cherry Bomb

Strategy

Arena Snolls (blue bombs) explode without warning if you venture too close.

Killing the Arena Cherry Bombs (red bombs) set off a chain reaction with the Arena Snoll nearby, freezing the Arena Progenetrix for a few seconds.

• Stagger killing the Arena Cherry Bombs, since the Arena Snolls will give Arena Progenetrix Ice Resistance Up for a short period of time.

Afterwards, while fighting the Progenitrix, interrupt its Burst ability with   Flying Sardine.

Note that   Ultravibration works on the Progenitrix, but only if Deep Freeze or Petrification is inflicted by the player. The freeze inflicted by the Arena Snolls does not count, and will cause Ultravibration to fail.

• For the week 5 challenge that requires clearing quickly, with 4 or fewer spells, and water as the only element, using   Level 5 Petrify and   Ultravibration is an effective way to KO the Progenitrix.   Water Cannon can be used to safely detonate Arena Cherry Bombs from a distance.
