Season 89 · Daily Puzzle Set 1 Solved
Day 1: Bone Blockade – Solution
Quick answer: Tesla in the centre pulls the Hog Rider; Skeletons next to the Tesla speed up the Hog kill; Tesla finishes the Knight
What is the puzzle setup?
A Level 11 Knight and Hog Rider are attacking the left lane. Both of your Princess Towers have only 1 HP, so a single hit from either enemy fails the attempt. You do not need to damage the enemy towers; your only goal is to survive the assault.
How do you solve Bone Blockade?
Diagrams are schematics drawn from the step text — not game screenshots.
Step 1 — Tesla in the centre
Place the Tesla in the exact centre of the arena, slightly towards the left. This placement pulls the Hog Rider away from your Princess Tower and towards the Tesla — buildings pull targeting troops like the Hog off your towers.

Step 2 — Skeletons near Tesla
As the Hog Rider approaches the Tesla, drop your Skeletons directly next to the Tesla. The extra DPS kills the Hog before it can destroy the Tesla, which is what keeps the Tesla alive for the Knight.

Step 3 — Finish the Knight
With the Hog gone, the Tesla (helped by your Princess Tower) finishes off the Knight — that is why keeping the Tesla alive through step 2 matters.

What are the most common mistakes?
- Placing the Tesla too late, allowing the Hog Rider to jump the river or bypass the pull.
- Misplacing Skeletons into the Knight’s path before the Hog is targeted, causing them to be wiped out instantly.
Any extra tips?
Wait for the Hog Rider to just cross the bridge before placing the Tesla to ensure it stays active for the Knight as well.
