Gold Armored[]

*Silke is way more aggressive compared to the rest of the Gold Armored Miis. Gold Armored Miis are not seen with any of the aggressive movesets again until Stage 11 (Bridge Reverse), and Silke's particular move set would not be seen again until the Boss Gabriele in Stage 10 (Volcano) and up to Boss Steph in Stage 17 (Waterfall Reverse). However, she does not block after failing to attack.

**Nick defends vertically at initial.

Strategies[]

  • Like Stage 1 (Bridge), Green Armored Miis are easy to defeat.
  • If a green or gold armored Mii starts an attack once you are in range, block it, or you risk losing a heart.
  • The main threat is Silke. She attacks quickly and copies Gabriele's, Tomoko's, Takashi's, Marisa's, Ian's, Barbara's, Shinta's, and Steph's move set. She sometimes moves her sword quickly to bypass your blocks. She is also the first Mii that can lose your heart if you do not prepare. There are two cases:
    • If your selected enemy is not Silke and is next to her, you can hit her at the sides without directly hitting your selected enemy.
    • Otherwise, allow Silke to attack and block her hit, then attack her while she's stunned.
      • The interval between lifting her sword to attack and landing a hit is 0.5 seconds, the same for certain Gold Armor Miis in Reverse stages.
  • Red Armor Miis are mainly defensive and often start an attack if you hit their sword.
    • If you are aiming for combos, do not mindlessly swing your sword. Instead, you must remain patient in either two cases:
      • Finding an open path, or
      • (Safer alternative) allow an enemy to attack (which takes 0.75 seconds between lifting their sword to attack and landing a hit) and block their hits. Then quickly attack twice.
    • If you are stunned, you need to block immediately by holding B.

Trivia[]

  • The Lighthouse is called The Candle.
  • This is the first stage in Showdown to have Miis be a two-hearted enemy. The first two-hearted enemy is in Red Armor. The first Mii to wear this type of Armor is Gwen.
  • Even though the stage is called "Lighthouse", you play near the windmills and don’t go anywhere near the Lighthouse unless you drag Gabi all the way there.
  • The boss of this stage, Gabi, seems to twirl her sword frantically when she's not blocking, just like Hiromasa.
    • Gabi and Hiromasa most likely do this to be more intimidating.
  • This stage, along with its reverse variant, is one of the stages close to the town in Wuhu Island. It is also one of the two stages where you can walk onto a road. The other one is the reverse version of this stage.
  • Ashley, Daisuke, Eduardo, Elisa, Emma, Gwen, Hiromi, Kentaro, Mia, Midori, Miyu, Nick, Oscar, Rin, Sakura, Shohei, Shouta, Silke, and Sota all make their first appearance on this stage.
