Deploying Cagebreaker as a solo unit in Cursed City stages—such as stage S13—allows you to clear dense enemy waves without using up high-tier support units or controllers. Because Cursed City rotations lock champions after use, soloing manageable wave encounters preserves your strongest roster choices for restricted boss fights later in the rotation.
Before committing energy to a solo run, check the stage wave composition. If the enemies rely on heavy turn meter control, Freeze, Stun locks, or unblockable debuffs, Cagebreaker's solo success drops significantly.
Stat and Gear Requirements
To solo wave content successfully, Cagebreaker must balance self-sustain with fast damage output. Because he runs without dedicated healers, his gear sets and substats must mitigate chip damage while ending turns quickly.
| Gear Slot / Type | Target Primary & Secondary Stats | Operational Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon / Helm / Shield | Substats: HP%, Defense% | Prevents early wave burst damage |
| Gauntlets | Critical Rate or Critical Damage | Secures high damage to end waves quickly |
| Chestplate & Boots | Critical Rate, Critical Damage, HP%, Defense% | Maintains offensive tempo while staying above execution thresholds |
| Recommended Sets | Lifesteal, Immortal, or Regeneration | Converts damage output into health or provides passive turn-based healing |
If Cagebreaker lacks the gear quality to survive initial enemy attacks, bring a single budget support champion to supply shields or turn meter assistance. The primary goal remains using minimal team slots so your primary roster remains unlocked for harder floors.
Execution Sequence and Failure Signals
When executing a solo run, monitor how Cagebreaker handles enemy turn cycles:
- Test Run: Run the stage once on manual control or low-risk entry to verify that Cagebreaker survives the initial wave onslaught without taking critical chip damage.
- Sustain Check: Ensure self-healing gear (such as Lifesteal or Regeneration) fully restores his health pool before the next wave begins.
- Control Detection: Retreat immediately if enemy waves continuously cycle Freeze or Stun debuffs. If Cagebreaker loses his turn cycle, he cannot trigger gear heals or clear enemy health pools.
If Cagebreaker dies before reaching the final wave, adjust his chestplate or boots to favor HP% or Defense% stats over raw offensive scaling, or pair him with a minimal secondary support unit.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This saved me time in the early game.
