Warping Core is a challenge where the Eternia Crystal (the 'core') teleports across the Magus Quarters at semi-random intervals. The frequency scales with difficulty level.
There are six possible locations for the core: its original position, at one of three mid level intersections and very close to either bottommost spawn door. Regardless, the player(s) must react quickly when the crystal warps to any of the five abnormal locations.
An Ogre arrives at the central spawn point during the sixth wave, but there are no Wyverns.

Crystal warp locations.
A fine strategy for completing this would be to put blockades at the small stairs in front of the enemy spawn points. You still have to dispose of their archers fast though, since they can shoot your crystal from afar. For the lower level warp points you can place 1 or 2 blockades in line of sight for archers. The best blockades for all these defenses are Slice 'N Dice from the squire. But can be altered due to personal preference.
Another strategy would be to just use Bowling Ball Turrets shooting down the stairs in front of each lane. For the bottom lanes all you really need is a Slice 'N Dice or a Bouncer to keep them distracted. This strategy will only work if your Squire is a tower build.

To add yet another strategy (one that rarely allows crystal damage): Place a Spiked Blockade at both staircases near main spawns. Place another in the middle of railing in front of where the crystal warps near main spawns. This protects from archers. Place a Bowling Ball Turret facing the corner spawns and place a Spiked Blockade stair-side to deny direct access to the crystal. Place a Proximity Mine near every Spiked Blockade including the ones on the railings. These will go in the pit. Place another one on each end of the map on the path up from below.
First wave will require Hero DPS to clean up strays, but should be a cake walk. Once the setup is complete just run around and repair traps and DPS down the one ogre that comes on the later waves.
Monk/Apprentice[]
This setup is similar to the normal 'Magus Headquarters' setup, with auras covering the three main spawns, and a Fireball tower covering each side of the stairs. For the lower level spawns, either Fireball/Lightning tower combo or a couple of Magic Missile towers should easily take care of any mobs.
