To clear Monster Camp Stage 9 in Arrow Quest: Idle defense RPG, replace single-target boss damage with multi-target area-of-effect (AoE) spells, rapid attack speed, and physical knockback. Stage 9 sends dense waves of high-health, sprinting melee and ranged minions that rush your central archer tower under a clear timer. Letting these mobs stack up will shred tower health in seconds, so you must eliminate or displace swarms before they cross the mid-screen threshold.
Active Skill Loadout and Rotation
Single-target attacks like Piercing or Sniper Shot fail in Monster Camp because they leave the surrounding pack untouched. Equip spells that cover wide lanes, inflict movement penalties, and hit clustered groups.
| Skill Type | Primary Mechanic | Priority | Tactical Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meteor / Firestorm | High-impact radial burst | Mandatory | Eradicates clustered frontline waves instantly |
| Blizzard / Frost Nova | Continuous slow and freeze | High | Delays sprinting runners to pack them tightly |
| Rain of Arrows / Multishot | Wide-lane physical coverage | High | Thins mid-range swarms between major cooldowns |
| Piercing / Sniper Shot | Linear single-target burst | Low | Fails to clear wide, multi-lane waves |
When playing on manual or semi-auto input, stagger cooldowns rather than firing everything at once. Cast slow-inducing abilities like Blizzard first to bunch sprinting frontrunners with slower backline units. Once enemies cluster tightly, unleash burst nukes like Meteor or Rain of Arrows. Staggering your skills prevents defensive dead zones where your tower is left unprotected between waves.
Pet and Companion Selection
Equip companions that provide radial splash damage, line-piercing hits, or frontline crowd-control stuns instead of raw single-target damage multipliers. Stuns briefly halt fast runners, holding enemy packs directly inside your archer's AoE spell zones. If you lack crowd-control companions, use pets that reduce archer skill cooldowns or increase basic attack speed to keep your defensive volleys consistent.
Workshop Stat Priorities
Allocate your workshop gold into stats that physically suppress enemy movement across multiple lanes:
- Multi-Shot: Splits your basic attack across several lanes to chip down multiple incoming targets at once.
- Attack Speed: Triggers critical hits, status effects, and passive procs more frequently to slow incoming packs.
- Knockback Chance: Resets advancing animations, repeatedly pushing mobs back into active spell zones.
- Critical Hit Rate: Ensures split arrows deal sufficient damage to finish off weakened runners without spending cooldowns.
Post-Clear Action: Daily Sweeps
Once you defeat Monster Camp Stage 9, do not risk remaining daily dungeon keys on manual runs or an immediate attempt at Stage 10. Clear Stage 9 once, then use the automated sweep function on all remaining daily tickets to guarantee maximum tier rewards. Reinvest those upgrade materials into skill levels, companion summons, and attack speed before testing the next stage.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This saved me time in the early game.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Arrow Quest: Idle defense RPG articles next.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
