I would like to know how Q&A beat these achievements because I sure as hell cannot. I’ve tried 23 times now and every time the NPCs die instantly at the 5th wave, causing me to wipe within seconds as well.

I don’t even know what’s going on in it. There are so many plants in the screen, I can’t see anything.

Like usual wave events, the next wave only spawns when the previous is killed.

Precision Blade is a simple DPS race. By the time she escapes, you should be on your last wave, which is super powered. You only need to zerk them down before they kill off all your helpers.

Hold the Line is a joke. Don’t bother killing them and just stall. Let all the NPCs die and only Kiera (Anise) will survive, because she’s immortal. Hide in the back and let her agro the full wave, tanking it for as long as you want.

I’ve been attempting this cheeve and standing in the back doesn’t work. The mobs teleport to you and it’s game over from there. I’ve been stuck at 4:30 with using Mesmer stealths for as long as I can. Still going at it…

I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.

Look at that… just finished it.

I took Kiera into the way back to start and let all of the NPCs die. Then she just auto attacked and I just ran our until around 4:30 when all NPCs died and I stealthed, revived all of the downed NPCs and that’s that.

Any tips on how to do Precision Blade now? (I’m a Mesmer)

I’ve tried letting Anise get the agro, but if the enemies see me at all then I can’t break their agro (despite using OOW and Ash Legion Spy kits), and they hit so hard that it’s gg at that point.

Help!

Don’t aggro them. Before Shadow leaves, run to the other side of the room. When they move, run around the same direction they are to avoid aggro. Quickly revive a group of shining blade and then run again in the same direction they’re running to avoid aggro.

Will give it a try and let you know how I do – thanks!

Finally got this.

I used a condi guardian (staff & all traps for my utils/elite) to kill the first 40.

My goal was to finish off the 3rd wave before Shadow escaped (I did that right before the 2 min mark). What I noticed is that doing this prevents the next wave from being of the ‘godly powerful/gg’ variety.

So then the 4th wave spawned, and since they were normal like the 1st 3 waves, I also killed off those.

However, before the last ‘godly powerful’ group spawned, I didn’t lay any traps and ran to the back of the room.

Fortunately, Anise/Keira didn’t follow me, and she killed the last 10

Overall a highly annoying achievement though (especially for 1 measly AP!), since once they locked onto me I couldn’t get them to de-agro no matter what I tried, and since they are so tough it’s pretty much gg once that happens.
