Shadow

The Shadow Element
Shadow is an evil Element for evil players. So if Shadow is your favorite Element, then you are evil, aka as awesome.

Shadow is the middle element, better than Light and Nature, but it doesn't reach the potential of Magic and Tech.

Best Shadow Team
The best Shadow Team is:
 * Pirate Captain
 * Egyptian Warrior
 * Lady Cyclops, Medusa, or Cyclops

Attack
Chuck Pirate Captain bombs at enemies first, and place them well. Then go close to enemies and use Egyptian Warrior special, then the special of the third minifigure.

Defense
Defense is tricky. Lady Cyclops works well to heal from sponge while uses her special with Egyptian Warrior special, but she glitches in teams (not in solo runs). Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Medusa works well to stun enemies and stop them from attacking, but has to do it quickly before being attacked. Cyclops special is good but he has no defense so just run away after coming under too much fire.

Building
In teams you will need to have someone distract while you use a builder like Egyptian Warrior or Saxophone Player. There aren't any good Shadow sponge builders, so a distractor is always needed.

Solo
Always use Lady Cyclops, and replace Pirate Captain with Disco Diva for extra sponge healing for Lady Cyclops. For timed runs, smash all the attacking enemies and then build the pads using Disco Diva. She won't build very fast in the wrong element so don't build when under attack.

Backup Minifigures
For Pirate Captain:
 * Disco Diva
 * Robot

For Egyptian Warrior:
 * Disco Diva
 * Santa
 * Alien Trooper

For the third minifigure, use Egyptian Warrior of Saxophone Player for building.
