I figured I'll start a thread on this, for my own benefit if nothing else. I just spent almost a month (so needless to say, countless hero revive hours wasted and hundred if not thousands of copters) before finally being able to beat expert dungeon 7.6 at ~52%.
This has happened with a few other previous dungeons in 6 and 7 as well...and it feels like a shame I don't even recall how I managed to beat other problematic ones after all the struggle. So just recording what I remember in case it'll help others, and maybe this thread can be used to exchange info on best strategy to beat all the nasty ones.
The Dungeon: 7.6
Square set-up with towers lined along the outer perimeter and the heros in the center. The nasty thing about this level is the towers are so spread out, no matter where you drop your troops and how you cast snowstorm, a large swath will remain unscathed to hammer you. The level 7 arrow towers often kill my PD (as he's first to drop by default) within 2/3 seconds even with all the bonus HP from inscriptions.
What I used
PD (lvl 175, 5 revit, 2 slowdown, 91 inscribed)
Druid (lvl 174, 4 flame shield, 1 wargod, 83 inscribed)
TG (lvl 174, 2 revive, 3 flameshield, 80 inscribed)
Vlad (lvl 170, 2 revive, 1 wargod, 86 inscribed)
Cupid (lvl 164, 3 revit [just 2 at time I played the level], 1 heavy blow, 84 inscribed)
Ork (lvl 161, 1 enlighten, 2 tenacity, 81 inscribed)
20 copters
The sequence:
1. dropped about 7-8 copters on right (east-south-east) by the magic towers. Those are bait to draw the magic towers fire away from the heros.
2. cast guardian angel on empty area, away from the copters a little further down near the arrow tower, as close to the wall as possible for step 3 (south east)
3. immediately drop all heros into the guardian angel radius. This starts drawing the arrow towers (~northwest wards)
4. immediately cast aries frenzy around the heroes
5. immediately drop the rest of the copters as close as possible vs the magic and arrow towers, ideally within the frenzy radius
6. at this point, the heros should be making some headway up/westwards, and haven taken out at least a couple towers already...try to time/count how long has it been since GA was cast...
7. when GA is about to expire, cast restoration...with some luck, they're all bunched together along with your copters for maximum effect
8. check your heros health...wait for the enemy heroes to bunch and cast snowstorm now, trying to cover as many heros and towers as possible...I actually only got 3 heros and 1 arrow tower with my SN but it was enough...
This got me to hit 52% and advance, after weeks of getting to 32% max. The TG (headed south) and druid (headed north) survived the longest, while vlad was kind of instrumental in killing enemy heroes.
That's all! I really hope this helps someone. And if anyone else needs help on any particular expert dungeon, please feel free to post here, and maybe another may have experience that can help.
