To earn a three-star clear on Lords Mobile Elite Stage 8-9 using full auto, deploy a core frontline of Rose Knight and Child of Light supported by Prima Donna and Tracker, then fill the final slot with Demon Slayer, Snow Queen, or Black Crow. Keeping all five heroes alive across all three waves unlocks instant stamina sweeps, allowing you to farm Rose Knight medals at 12 stamina per attempt without manual input.
Stage 8-9 Requirements and Auto-Battle Hazards
Elite Stage 8-9 (Trial of the Rose) requires all five heroes to survive to secure the 3-star rating needed for automated sweeps. Alongside Elite Stage 6-12, sweeping this stage doubles daily Rose Knight medal farming toward her 330-medal gold upgrade.
Running full auto removes control over skill timing. The game AI triggers ultimate abilities immediately when energy gauges fill, which can waste crowd control on low-health enemies or force early healing casts.
- Waves 1 and 2: Melee guards and spellcasters whittle down frontline health, requiring continuous passive sustain before entering the final wave.
- Wave 3: Features an enemy Rose Knight boss backed by high-damage guards. Without timely stuns or quick backline elimination, concentrated enemy burst can pick off fragile heroes before heals trigger.
3 F2P Auto Team Compositions
Each lineup uses the same durable core—Rose Knight, Child of Light, Prima Donna, and Tracker—while altering the fifth hero to balance crowd control, burst damage, and backline safety.
1. Balanced Burst and Disruption (Demon Slayer)
- Lineup: Rose Knight, Child of Light, Prima Donna, Tracker, Demon Slayer
- How it works: Rose Knight provides an opening shield and attack buff via Justice Call, while Child of Light absorbs front-row hits and stuns enemies with Apollo's Brand. Demon Slayer teleports into the backline to silence and eliminate dangerous magic casters, while Tracker snipes targets from afar.
- Auto hazard: Demon Slayer can draw concentrated enemy fire after teleporting. If he drops before Prima Donna casts her heal, retry or switch to a backline variant.
2. Freeze Lockdown (Snow Queen)
- Lineup: Rose Knight, Child of Light, Prima Donna, Tracker, Snow Queen
- How it works: Snow Queen replaces Demon Slayer to remove the risk of an assassin diving out of healing range. Her Blizzard ultimate freezes broad enemy formations, pausing incoming damage and buying time for Prima Donna to charge her team heal and for the tanks to cycle defensive skills.
- Auto hazard: Lacks Demon Slayer's rapid backline assassination, making Wave 3 boss takedowns slightly slower.
3. Pure Ranged Puncture (Black Crow)
- Lineup: Rose Knight, Child of Light, Prima Donna, Tracker, Black Crow
- How it works: Black Crow stays anchored in the backline with Tracker, firing piercing volleys into incoming waves. Because no heroes advance ahead of the tanks, enemy melee units remain focused on Rose Knight and Child of Light, keeping Prima Donna's area-of-effect healing centered on the entire team.
- Auto hazard: Enemy backline casters survive longer in Wave 3, placing higher continuous damage pressure on your frontline tanks.
Hero Rank and Gear Thresholds
Auto-battle reliability depends heavily on hero ranks and trophy equipment rather than medal grades. If incoming damage spikes kill a hero, verify your gear rank before altering lineups.
| Fifth Hero Pick | Strategic Focus | Primary Auto Strength | Primary Auto Risk | Recommended Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demon Slayer | Burst & Disruption | Rapidly eliminates backline spellcasters | Assassin dive draws concentrated counterattacks | Rank 7 (6/6 Trophies) or Rank 8 |
| Snow Queen | Crowd Control | Large-area freeze halts heavy damage bursts | Slower overall clear speed on the Wave 3 boss | Rank 7 (6/6 Trophies) or Rank 8 |
| Black Crow | Ranged Puncture | Zero dive risk keeps all carries behind tanks | Enemy casters stay alive longer in Wave 3 | Rank 7 (6/6 Trophies) or Rank 8 |
Ensure all heroes are between Level 57 and Level 60. Equip Rose Knight and Child of Light with defensive trophies that increase max HP and physical defense, and equip Prima Donna with healing-recovery gear. If an unlucky critical hit drops a hero to fail the three-star condition, rerun the stage once or twice at these gear levels to achieve the clear.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Lords Mobile articles next.
This saved me time in the early game.
