CS-23 to CS-26 in Critical Cascade are puzzle stages. There is no challenge mode in these stages, the fights are easy, and the main problem you solve in these stages is to get the rare rewards within the given turn limit.

For this stage, the rare reward is 150 Sand, at the center top of the map. You will have to grab this by Turn 3.

This is possibly the hardest puzzle among the 4. You are given exactly enough AP to solve this puzzle, you have no extra AP to spare. If you find yourself ending turn without using all of your AP, you did the puzzle wrong. The key trick to solving this puzzle is that the right team needs to be the one using the laser on Turn 2. The left team will be using the laser on Turn 3 instead.

In your first clear, you will be grabbing the 150 Sand at 4:53 with the 2 remaining AP. This is my second clear, so the crate no longer exists.

Note that you can win this on Turn 4 if you use the top team to fight the boss instead of the bottom team. I just like using Vee.
