Timed Runs

Timed Runs
Timed Runs are levels where the player must reach the end of the level before the timer runs out.

The 3 timed runs are:
 * Volcano Mayhem
 * Castle Mayhem
 * Candy Mayhem

Strategy
On timed runs, you should never fight the enemies since that is not the goal. There should be on distractor, while everyone else builds.

How to Distract
Use Grandma Visitor, Disco Diva, and a good Defender of the right Element who has sponge: Magic:Librarian Tech:Robot Nature:Bumblebee Girl Shadow:Scarecrow Light:Battle Goddess

Use Grandma Visitor special to run through the toughest spots for distracting, and use Disco Diva special on enemies and then quickly switch to the defender and run around while waiting for Grandma Visitor special to recharge.

Try to end up in a spot with a lot of space to move around after Grandma Visitor special runs out, as it is easy to get smashed when you are trapped with no room. It is also good to have a way to escape with all the enemies on one side of you, and not have them coming at you from multiple angles.

In a team of 3 or 4, 2 players can distract if no one is very good at distracting, but keep in mind that this makes building the pads go much slower.

How to Build
Use Grandma Visitor, Disco Diva, and a good Builder of the right Element who has sponge: Magic:You already have two good builders with sponge. Tech:Plumber Nature:Chicken Suit Guy Shadow:Evil Wizard Light:Welder

Make sure that the distractor goes first and never attack at all. Use Grandma Visitor special to run through enemy groups after they are already distracted.

If the distractor gets smashed, you can become the distractor. The only difference is that you will have a builder with sponge instead of a defender, which it makes it slightly harder. You can also replace Disco Diva with another builder of the right Element as a backup if your main builder gets smashed somehow, but then you are unable to distract so this is not recommended.

Solo
In a solo run, timed runs are much harder. The best strategy is to smash all the enemies that attack you when you build, and rush past ones that won't follow you all the way to the build pad. The build pads can be built very quickly, so sometimes it is possible to rush past the enemies and build the pad before they catch up.

If equipping a builder of the right Element ruins your team, go without a builder and smash all the enemies before building the build pad with an out-of-element builder like Disco Diva or whatever minifigure you have that builds the fastest. This will make the building go much slower so you must smash the enemies quickly.
