I would recommend Zoey for the 5 Star, given how she's the only one of the 3 that gets access to something other than Frost attacks.

Start out by blocking the west entrance to the Rift, and start to place the Barricades near the NE Guardian spot to snake them through (3 Barricades north of the Guardian, to have them enter at 1 side, then 3 Barricades south of the Guardian, to have them exit on 1 side). You won't have enough to finish it, but it can wait.

For the minions, they are decently dangerous, and there's just a lot of them to deal with. The Archers here will particularly annoy you, so try to hide behind corners when appropriate. Utilize the HP/Mana regeneration that the Rift and Guardians give, but don't give the minions too much slack, given the lack of damage the traps will be dealing.

The biggest concern is Wave 5, because it throws a ton of Kobolds at you, and this is pretty rough given how you don't really have any way to slow them down.

Wave 1 - Kill a few of the starting minions so you can afford the Guardian for the NW spot.

Wave 2 - Finish off the Barricades at the NE Guardian area. If you want, you can begin to place Barricades to snake the minions in the NE room. Place the first Barricade to block off half of the stairs in the NE, then place another at a diagonal, to force them towards the northern part of the room, then just extend as much as you can.

Wave 3 - Start placing down some damage traps; I use Saw of Arctos and some Ice Shards, but use whatever you think will be useful.

Wave 4 - Continue placing traps at your leisure. Although you don't see me do it in the video, you may want to consider placing a Mana Well down somewhere (if you're Zoey), and place a Guardian at the NW (assuming the last one died) before the next wave.

Wave 5 - About 80% of the wave is Kobolds, which will trickle in. The other minions are mostly large minions, which are mostly there to simply get in your way as you try to kill the Kobolds. In the video, I struggle a little bit because I ran out of Mana, and completely forgot about the Mage's Clover.

Wave 6 - Iceberg, the boss Ice Elemental, will appear here from the SW. He shouldn't be too much of a threat though, particularly if you have a Guardian down at the NW spot. Rest of it is mostly a repeat of what you've seen already, but happily no Kobolds.

Upgrades I take for Zoey - Chapter 3: Mastering The Schools (Level 2), Chapter 5: Training Familiars (Level 4), and Chapter 9: Death and Chaos (Level 7)
