A reminder, RCE. Towers each have their own tech trees, and certain upgrades will not appear unless you have the prerequisite upgrades. Most notably, the upgrades that add elemental damage types to towers don't appear unless you have the first upgrade in the tree. So, for example, unless you have the best upgrade (Heavy Shafts I), you won't ever get Flaming Bolts I which sets your ballista bolts on fire.

The terrain height for towers also increases the tower BASE damage (as well as its range). So you always want to build towers on the highest elevation if possible.
@mirzeaalex21182 жыл бұрын
You should try to focus upgrading health damage for the towers that are close to base, armor damage for those which are medium range and shield damage for those which are far away. If you upgrade a tower with shield damage and it's right by your base, it won't be efficient at all.

Don't forget about your attack priorities! Near the tower, I set them to: Progress, Fastest, Near Death (in that order). Farther away, you want to have: Most Shield, Most Armor, Most Health. So the outer towers will soften things up for the inner towers. Other people may have a better strategy, but leaving all of your priorities to Progress will make it harder to kill the big stuff.

"Because on the last game we lost because we were using up all the mana" it wasn't because you were using it all up.

When I struggled with the double lane level, I reset the whole thing and didn't unlock any extra weapons so that I was more likely to get upgrades to the weapons I wanted (ie ballista and mortars). I beat the double lane and got to lvl 40 on the triple, always making a beeline for the range upgrades through the tech tree so that towers could cover more than one lane at once.
@MrMattkid2 жыл бұрын
So some mechanics you might not be aware of. The more variety you have in towers will net you more money. You get bonus gold for each type of tower that hits an enemy before it dies, so having multiple types will let you expand you army quicker versus upgrading a single tower type. Another thing, all the towers that use mana are absolutely dreadful. There are 3 specific towers that are worth using of the mana towers; obelisk, rail gun, and the freeze tower. Also each turret is good against either armor shields or health at base. So certain towers are better in certain places. A mechanic that isn't as easily noticeable is a particular damage mechanic. The enemies will take 0 health damage as long as they have armor or shields, and they'll take 0 armor damage as long as they have shields. So you need to get rid of them as early as possible in their march. In this order Shields then Armor then Health.

Honestly the single best card in the game is, by far, Creeping Cough, which slows enemies by 5% of their total poison buildup. It's so good, in fact, that I find it's actually best *not* to ever unlock the Frost Keep in the shop, because their actual damage is pretty lackluster and it's not difficult to get Creeping Cough every run. As long as you don't increase max poison per second by too much, you can easily have all of your enemies moving at like a quarter or less their normal speed.

it's a waste to drop towers and upgrade them at the same time when killing a few things slipping buy, instead build multiple towers and then sell them back -- if you upgrade, you don't get that value back when you sell it
