Introduction illustration ------------------

Don't Mess With Me

Defeat 100 enemy units using Qilins.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This achievement was bugged for a while, and progress towards it would only count if it was done on mission 4 of the campaign (The God Trap). Therefore, Method 1 was the only viable option then. It seems that the bug was fixed on Update 18.12962 and now Methods 2 and 3 might have become functional.

Method 1 - The God Trap Grind

This method consists in using the Qilins available in the 4th mission of the Chinese campaign (The God Trap) to defeat as many enemy units as possible, here's the step by step:

Start mission 4 (The God Trap) on Moderate or Easy difficulty.
Liberate all allies until you have 4 Qilins and 8 Sages - don't go to the final area yet.
Set the Sages to "No Attack" stance - they will only heal.
Use the Wave godpower to weaken the enemies at the final area.
SAVE THE GAME NOW.
Start pulling small groups of enemies and finishing them off with your 4 Qilins.
Load and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

TIPS:

Remenber to use your Sages to heal the Qilins during the combat.
If you need, you can run away and the enemies will lose aggro.

Method 2 - Stronger Together Grind

This method consists in building a small army of Qilins in the 3th mission of the Chinese campaign (Stronger Together) to defeat as many enemy units as possible, here's the step by step:

Start mission 3 (Stronger Together) on Moderate or Easy difficulty.
Build an army of 20 to 30 Qilins.
Research the Qilin upgrade.
SAVE THE GAME NOW.
Start roaming the map and defeating enemy units - including the side camps.
Win the mission.
Load and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

Method 3 - Skirmish Grind

This method consists in building a small army of Qilins in the Skirmish mode to defeat as many enemy units as possible, here's the step by step:

Skirmish Settings:

Enemies: 3 Defenders on Standard difficulty.
Starting Resources: Ultra.
Game Speed: Fast.

Tutorial:

Build an army of 40 Qilins.
Research the Qilin upgrade.
SAVE THE GAME NOW.
Start roaming the map and defeating enemy units.
Load and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

Conclusion

So far, this was the only buggy achievement I found in this game. Let's hope the dev team fixes it soon.
