On my first try I 3 starred cave 5-3 that you are having difficulty with by only using rainbird and rogues with no allies, no potions, no veggie cakes, and no fruit cakes. Hopefully they don’t delete this post because every post I created discussing strategy on how to defeat Lawrence in cave 7-10 has been deleted. I gave a bunch of mathematical explanations for the strategy I recommended.
When I beat the ninja in cave 5 the first time, my birds were level 25 with no set items. Now they are level 29 with 3 level 29 set items (lightning tome, chronos, ballista). Since your birds are weaker than mine you would need to use the rage chili at the beginning of each wave on chuck, then use the rogues to hit the enemies that do the most damage like a ninja bowman if they weren’t hit in the speed of light attack. After that just have chuck heal every round and use potions if that isn’t enough.
When you get to an ironclad enemy you have several options to take him out. You can use the rogues egg surprise or cupcake trap to damage it or if you have prince porky in your party use tit for tat because with the extra damage your rogues will be able to hit the ironclad enemy and his sticky goo does tons of damage.
A lot of people will tell you not to use a weapon that can cause criticals in cave 5 and that is good advice. However I used the ballista which does criticals 23% of the time. That combined with cupcake trap is how I did all the damage to the ironclad enemies. I only used egg surprise once and unfortunately for me it took out the Mandarin instead, but I still 3 starred the level and my birds weren’t even at their maximum health.
