JWA Campaign Course 18: Swap In, Swap Out, Swap Prevention
Abilities that trigger when a creature enters or leaves, and locking the opponent in place. Course 18 has 18 missions across 3 chapters against enemies at level 18–25, with teams of 2 to 4. Clearing it pays 18,450 Game Coins and 15,660 DNA.
How to beat Course 18
Swap in when the incoming creature's swap-in ability (or invincibility) answers the enemy's next move. Use swap prevention to trap an enemy that would otherwise escape a bad matchup.
The game's hint: Using creatures with Swap In abilities higher than level 19 will help you complete this Mission!
My approach notes are advice from the enemy teams and the game's hints, not a guaranteed win.
