Hello, everyone.

After trying for many months, I was finally able to get 15k points in both Chaos Realm difficulties.

Since I wasn't able to find much detail on builds, characters and strategies, I'd like to post my results here in hopes they can help someone facing the same difficulties I had.

---------------------------------------

For Normal mode:

I used Demonologist with: Trapper's Mantle, Fatecrafter's Tools, Ax Gang Sigil, and Soothing Collar.

Fatecrafter's Tools for consistency. This is very important in this kind of run. Ax Gang sigil so dice faces can have scalability, adding new faces every turn. Trapper's Mantle and Soothing Collar help immenselly in capturing monsters and will make your dice deal a lot of damage on fang symbols.

For skills, remember to get as many charges of Precision Training as you can, but most importantly: either Replicate or 4 charges of Clone. This will make the Cosmic Horror generate a lot of ongoing points as you choose streak on winning waves.

Prioritize reroll and damage symbols on your Moon faces - Ax Gang Sigil is your friend here - and remember to use Pet on captured monsters with good "On Capture" abilities. This includes: Tether Parasite; Master of Rites; Rabid Alligator; Walking Corpse and Dractyl, but is not limited to them.

If you using Clone ability, select the Cosmic Horror when it's still on board. The cloning does not work for already captured pets.

This is the opposite for Replicate - which only works with already captured pets.

I got one Cosmic Horror and used Replicate on it. Lasted for 32 turns.

Final results: 33848 points. I'm sure you can do even better than that <3

----------------------------

For Hard mode:

I used Chronomancer with: The Preserver; Ax Gang Sigil; Timetwister Orb; Fatecrafter's Tools

I really tried making demonologist + Cosmic Horror work for this. But this mode is really brutal, I wasn't able to.

This strategy consists mostly of creating very big rerollable dice faces with Ax Gang Sigil and going for consistency of rolls using Precision Training [from Fatecrafter's Tools] and buying unrollable faces as much as you can.
My final board had 2 rollable faces in each die, so not perfect and I was still able to get 29k points.

It is also important to use Ax Gang Sigil to buy Moon Faces and place them on rerollable faces as soon as possible. This will be the buildup of symbols needes for later stages.

For skills, try to have as many charges of Precision Training as possible, consider not going for score rewards during the first ten waves in order to build a stronger board [That 3 gold can make a difference in the beggining, skill charges even more so]. You'll have plenty of time to go for score after the 10th wave.

Some modifiers can be a bit more rough than others. Anything that erases your most-symbol face or that makes unrollable faces become blank is a run killer.

Shield, damage cap, double attack, and more health on enemies can look scary, but the idea is that you kill them in one full turn of rerolls or stun them. Specially for dealing with attack damage, The Preserver will help a lot paired with the amount of rerolls per turn.

I did not capture Cosmic Horror during my winning run, but if you think you can do it without compromising resources, go for it.

Final results for my run: 29670. I'd love to know your results as well :D

Best of luck to you <3
