the battle bricks chapter 5 guide
Complete walkthrough for all Chapter 5 bosses: Chef Sarge (Stage 10), Funk1d (Stage 20), and Lichen (Stage 30). Normal and Tumore strategies with recommended loadouts and team compositions.

Chapter 5 Overview
Chapter 5 is the latest expansion to The Battle Bricks. It features 30 stages across three bosses — each with a Normal and Tumore variant. The difficulty spike is significant: you will need high-level battlers and a well-planned loadout to clear even the Normal stages. Tumore mode nearly requires at least one Uber Rare damage dealer.
Chef Sarge Normal · Stage 10
Rush Chef Sarge with heavy hitters while clearing adds with AoE. Keep your tank alive with support units.
Abilities
- • Summons weaker battlers
- • AoE cleave
Recommended Units
Funk1d Normal · Stage 20
Stall Funk1d with tanks and chip from range. Gravi Battler's CC helps control the adds. Prioritize survival over burst.
Abilities
- • Speed boost aura
- • Laser beam
Recommended Units
Lichen Normal · Stage 30
Anti-zombie battlers are essential. Focus Lichen down while AoE clears zombie waves. Bring healers for the poison.
Abilities
- • Regeneration
- • Poison AOEs
- • Spawn zombies
Recommended Units
Chef Sarge (Tumore) Tumore · Stage 10
Much tankier. Chip damage with ranged DPS while tank absorbs hits. Don't burst during reflect windows.
Abilities
- • Summons stronger minions
- • Damage reflection
Recommended Units
Funk1d (Tumore) Tumore · Stage 20
Triple laser melts squishies. Stack HP-heavy battlers. Gravi CC helps, but timing is critical.
Abilities
- • Extreme speed boost
- • Triple laser
Recommended Units
Lichen (Tumore) Tumore · Stage 30
The hardest fight. Anti-zombie units hard required. Bring 2+ tanks and sustain. Kill zombies first then focus boss.
Abilities
- • Fast regen
- • Wide poison AOEs
- • Elite zombie spawns
Recommended Units
Chapter 5 General Tips
- • Bring anti-trait coverage. Lichen spawns zombies — Zombie Battler or Lichen Battler helps. Funk1d is traitless but his adds include Red enemies — bring Spartan Battler.
- • Don't sleep on Treasure Seller. The extra income from Treasure Seller lets you deploy Uber Rares faster in the later stages.
- • Vulcan is the MVP. If you have Vulcan, bring it to every Chapter 5 boss fight. Its raw DPS and HP pool trivialize Normal mode.
- • Gravi Battler for Funk1d. Gravi's crowd control buys you precious time against Funk1d's speed-boosted adds.
- • Tumore mode is a different game. Don't expect Normal-mode strategies to work unmodified. Tumore bosses have 2-3x HP and new abilities.

FAQ
Is Chapter 5 harder than previous chapters?
Yes. Chapter 5 is a significant difficulty spike. Bosses have substantially more HP and new abilities. Tumore mode requires dedicated anti-trait teams and high-level Uber Rare battlers.
What is the best team for Chapter 5?
Vulcan is the MVP for all Chapter 5 bosses. Pair with Raigquitter for burst damage, Titan Battler or Angel Battler for tanking, and Sniper Battler for ranged DPS. Anti-zombie units are required for Lichen.
Can I beat Chapter 5 without Uber Rares?
It is extremely difficult. You can clear Normal mode with Super Rares at high levels, but Tumore bosses nearly require at least one Uber Rare damage dealer like Vulcan.
Which Chapter 5 boss drops the best rewards?
Lichen (Stage 30, Normal) drops the most XP and Bricks. Chef Sarge is the easiest to farm. Funk1d drops mid-tier currency but is faster to clear than Lichen.
