King's Tomb Act 5

King's Tomb Act 5 is the 5th story stage inside King's Tomb, a crypt overrun by risen dead and demon clones. The act is built from 15 waves and roughly 300 total enemy spawns, opening with a manageable mix of 8x Resurrected Knight, 8x Gargoyles and scaling up wave by wave until the final wave throws 12x Resurrected Knight, 11x Gargoyles, 1x Elf Mage Clone, 3x Ice Mage Clone (Elite) at the player's placed units. Elf Mage Clone is the boss that caps the stage, and its health pool and aggression sit noticeably above the Basic and Elite spawns that lead up to it.

Along the way, watch for enemies carrying the Momentum, Summoner, Commander modifiers: Momentum enemies grow steadily more dangerous the longer they survive, stacking a damage buff up to +50% over time; Summoner enemies periodically call in extra Basic-tier reinforcements while they are alive; Commander enemies buff every enemy near them, so they are worth focusing down early. Compared to King's Tomb Act 4, this act keeps the same core wave shape but raises the difficulty by swapping in Elf Mage Clone as the closing boss, making it the toughest clear in the zone.

Clearing King's Tomb Act 5 on Normal pays a flat 75 Gems, 75 Gold, 115 Player EXP, and 500 Unit EXP, while Hard raises that to 100 Gems, 100 Gold, 145 Player EXP, and 1000 Unit EXP for the same wave list. Both difficulties also drop Cursed Boba on every clear (1 on Normal, 2 on Hard), and a first-time clear bonus on top of the standard reward applies the first time each difficulty is beaten. Clearing this act on Hard also opens a small chance (5%, with a 20-clear pity counter) at Grimoire, an equipment piece unique to King's Tomb that does not drop anywhere else. Since Hard pays roughly a third more currency for an identical wave layout, it is the better long-term farming target once a team can survive Elf Mage Clone reliably; Normal remains the safer option for teams still gearing up.
