That's not the way to do it, Pika! Looks like you're a noob at sandbagging. Let the pro explain....

The best way is to bring one or more SS team heals, but AS heals can be used too. You'll see why...

See a round that has a single enemy, or maybe two? Keep answering off-colour questions in that round to avoid hitting the enemy. If the team gets too damaged, use a SS heal, or answer one on-colour question for AS heal.

Off-colour questions will 1. avoid hitting enemies, 2. still charge the SS. To activate AS heal, you need to answer on-colour, and can't avoid hitting the enemies! Hence SS heal is better for sandbagging.

Repeat until you've grown bored, and think it should be enough to place you dead last. Then move on and clear the remaining rounds. My best streak was 91 turns. Was aiming for 99, but hand slipped and accidentally killed the enemy.....

I don't need to do it anymore as now my teams are much stronger can clear 13/14/15 fast and I'm currently in 14, doing well. But earlier when my teams were weak and I needed to remain in 11/12, it was a game of patience as I always had to sandbag down to get 1st in Rank 12, or last in Rank 13.

Good luck! And yes, it is mind-numbingly boring and the rank up/down mechanics is dumb/sandbagging is  stupid, but you just have to do it if you don't have the team for the next rank.

May the most patient man lose.
