TRAP BATTLE - BEGINNER LEVEL
Princess Allura is unable to use swords or cast magic to defeat enemy intruders directly. She is limited to using traps. However, depending on your ability to strategically utilize the traps, they can be more effective weapons than swords or magic. Your goal is to set a trap, lure an enemy, and perfectly time the activation of the trap to seize the intruder. You may be unsuccessful at first, but setting effective traps comes with practice.
You can preview the stage map, assess your enemy's abilities, and select the traps you wish to use before a Trap Battle begins.
