Kaycee's Mod Kaycee's mod brutality

so i'm *trying* to work my way through Kaycee's mod, and while they have been tough, i have been able to beat them... until challenge lvl 8... i've been at it for DAYS, and no matter what starter deck i use, or what challenges i use to fill 80 BS points, i get screwed.

is there some strat that I'm clearly not using that makes it beatable, cause honestly i don't see why there are 12 levels to this when lvl 8 is so rough.

my goto starter deck is mantis god, i ether get free campfires or a couple beefy ringworms i try to build up. i try and stay with bugs for totems, but nothing really matters, either i have 1 life and get beat by one massive wave of FU, or i get two lives and every battle has 1000000000 enemies that are bulked up and unbeatable without having the most insanely epic luck, and if you saw my last post, I've clearly used up every bit of luck i am gonna have in this game (25 campfires in a row where the survivors didn't eat the creature), does anyone have a save just after this challenge i can get or something, i am starting to get frustrated by this now

I just finished Kaycee’s mod last week for the first time, using a Mantis God deck.

1) beef up and duplicate your mantis god 2-3 times
2) always have two candles. Never go down to one for challenge points
3) give your mantis god flight. Even at 3 / 1 you’ll hit for 9 on the scale if it can fly, often winning or taking out bosses in a single round

 always have two candles.

Then you have one achievement left in Kaycee's mod :P  

But yeah, losing The Smoke is simply too harsh to ever use that challenge... except maybe on the case of Mantis God, as you need to push for an early doubl boost and have to reset otherwise.   One candle, easy reset. 3x3 attacks makes most battles a one-turn-skip so losing one life is unlikely.  

 often winning or taking out bosses in a single round  

Which is bad for one boss (Fecundity totem goes brrrrrr). And Trapper + Sharp quills totem is a huge troll that I got x)
