To clear the 7 Generals Challenge in Stick War: Saga 1v1 Deathmatch, upgrade your Miner gold output early and use the high-speed Kai Rider to bypass frontline infantry, flank high-damage commanders, and prevent enemy generals from clumping together.

Early-Game Economy and Production Priorities

The Kai Rider is an elite unit that requires a substantial gold investment. To keep pace with losses and maintain pressure on the 7 Generals, focus on building a sustainable economy right at the start of the match.

  • Upgrade Miner Output First: Invest in early gold production so you can replace defeated Kai Riders immediately.
  • Minimize Low-Tier Units: Do not over-invest in basic infantry. Treat low-tier units as frontline distractions or garrison units rather than your primary offensive force.
  • Maintain Base Security: Keep a small defensive force near your base to catch stray attackers while your primary assault team advances toward the enemy statue.

Kai Rider Combat Positioning and Micro Control

The Kai Rider relies on speed to disrupt enemy lines, but its lower durability makes positioning critical. Generals often possess area-of-effect (AoE) strikes that can quickly wipe out grouped troops.

Tactical GoalUnit ActionPurpose
Bait CooldownsFeint attack and immediate retreatForces Generals to waste heavy abilities before a full engage.
Bypass DefendersFlank from the side or rearStrikes commanders directly while ignoring front-line shields.
Avoid AoE ClumpingOffset positioning from main infantryPrevents Kai Riders from taking collateral damage from sweeping melee attacks.
Preserve Elite UnitsRetreat at 30% healthKeeps damage dealers alive and avoids wasting gold on unnecessary unit replacement.

When controlling the Kai Rider directly, watch for attack animation timing. Because of the unit's rapid movement, it can occasionally overshoot its target and miss an attack. Practice skirmishing in minor engagements to master the exact range and hit confirmation frames.

Countering General Formations and High-DPS Threats

Allowing the 7 Generals to group up usually results in heavy losses, as their combined health and damage can overwhelm standard defensive lines. Neutralize them by managing engagement distance and target order:

  1. Prioritize High-DPS Generals: Force your Kai Rider to target the most aggressive General first to reduce damage output against your supporting troops.
  2. Interrupt Wind-Up Skills: Attack Generals from the side or rear while they are locked in line-of-sight animations or heavy skill wind-ups.
  3. Execute a Statue Kite-and-Counter: If multiple Generals push simultaneously, fall back toward your statue. Allow statue fire and ranged units to weaken the commanders before sweeping in with the Kai Rider to clean up remaining targets.
