Beginner Survival Fundamentals

The goal is to maintain steady damage output under limited resources and survive until the end of the stage. When choosing positions, prioritize spots with fewer incoming paths and longer coverage time (e.g., corners, the start of long corridors).

Recommended opening steps:

  1. Build or upgrade economy first to secure steady income;
  2. Place a basic attack tower at the entrance/main path to cover the first wave;
  3. Add small amounts of control/slow based on pressure to increase tolerance;
  4. Once the economy stabilizes, focus on cultivating 1–2 core damage spots to avoid spreading resources too thin.

Practical tips:

  • Do not aim to fill everything at once: continuous economic rolling matters more;
  • Observe the movement paths of the first few waves and reinforce the main line first;
  • When resources are tight, prioritize keeping economy and core towers running without interruption.
