Cheese strat for stage 3.3 : Snowfly Peak

For anyone who ends up getting stuck on mission 3.3 like I did, I found a nice bug / exploit that lets you win without much effort at all, get both relics, and avoid any base damage at all. I only tested this on normal difficulty, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on a higher difficulty.

To start, take all 3 characters, moving together, and just run to the end. That's it. Ignore the escort of the caravan, feel free to grab resources and relics if you want as you run by, but just run all the way to the very end of the level. For some reason, either the enemies don't spawn while you are that far away, or they can't deal damage to the caravan, or something. Just sit at the very end until wave 8 begins, then you have to defend against wave 8 as normal.

If you gathered enough resources along the way, when you first arrive at the end, you can set up a ton of random turrets, bombs, walls, etc during the previous 7 waves while you are sitting near the end of the level, waiting for time to advance.

This worked 2 out of 2 times I tried it, so it seems reliable enough.

Sounds crazy but as I am both stuck there (this level is crazy hard and way too random!)
and cause I already had almost no attacks and no damage to the ship while I was far away (vs. when I'm there and cant hold ♥♥♥♥), I will try this.
I dont wanna lower to easy difficulty, so I just have to somehow win this level, no matter what!

Also nice thing:
generally, after getting killed, you keep what you already collected.
be it relics and/or heart upgrade.

in previous levels, not intentional, I was jsut dying a lot there, I had always collected the heart before dying, so I actually had a level beaten with like 7/8 hearts left (no heart upgrades ever bought, jsut from that incerementing hearts viy dying)

so a logical strategy: get everything in the leve, then die (which shouldnt be too hard, and I mean, your ship die, not you)
after replaying from checkpoint (aka ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ start of the whole level in this case!)
do your running to exit strategy.

so first collect all stuff, then die, then go to the end.

why that?

cause to get relics and the heart, you have to break walls that enemies will later come out of.
after retry, they are closed off again

can verify this works, though i would recommend doing something to defend the first wave, then mad rush with the monk sucking up resources as you go. it's quite easy to pick up all relics and close the gates along the way, then set up a stack of defences for wave 7 and 8 up the last hill.
