Yo, @Koshmobile! There is an epic card that you really need!!! It's a card called "Berserker", and what it does is that it turns 0.8% of the damage you take to buff you tower's damage, and it can go to a max of 8X THE TOWER'S DAMAGE!!!!

[@alexyps2155]

Good tips overall but have noticed some mistakes. Im gonna list the ones i remember, when you start out if you are planning to play the game for a lot of time then definitely invest only in labs, only get like 3 card slots and some important cards like enemy balance, cash and coins and then save up, labs are the most important thing. Also always prioritize lab over workshop, even if a lab is a lot of coins for you but you have the coins, its better to spend them on the lab rather than the workshop and always prioritize labs that have little levels since they mostly give the most value(some exceptions of high level labs that should be prioritized are lab speed, attack speed and coin bonus). Best tier to farm depends on where you are at the game because if you look the difference between 1 and 2 is 80% going from 1x coins to 1.8x coins so wave 2000 on tier 1 is worse than tier 800 on tier 2 but on higher tiers for example 5 and 6 the coin difference is only around 20% going from 4.2x to 5x so the case isnt the same here, what i recommend is that every couple of days you do 1 run of every tier and see what tier gives you the most coins/time and doing runs of every tier not only gives you the benefit of knowing whats best but also unlocks the milestone rewards which are pretty useful.

[@KoshMobile]

Great tips, especially the tier farming exploration

[@mbrick87]

You helped me out watching your video on my first day. Started 3 weeks ago. I would definitely recommend getting your thorns and attack speed maxed in workshop. The CL ultimate weapon will help you get deep on tier 1 runs. I’m running 5k+ waves on tier 1 now.

[@mbrick87]

To add to that perks, recovery package, and package after boss are all game changers.

[@Eggzy-b7f]

Takes ages though to even get to 1000 lol

[@mbrick87]

@@Eggzy-b7fjust push def absolute and thorns first.

[@aidenbrown1464]

I've only been playing for about 2 weeks now, and this is my first video on The Tower, and it turns out that I've been doing the defense absolute and thorns strategy the entire time XD. Plus I am getting to wave like, 300-400 pretty easily

[@aidenbrown1464]

​@mbrick87 BTW what cards are you using?

[@justapunk6627]

Funny you dropped this right after I started playing it lol, thanks for your knowledge

[@hakanslattorp3836]

Do unlook perks now Then you Come to wawe 200 The perk give a bonus You can geet more healt.more damage One more ultimate weapon. More coins But you geet only one every 200 waves You can invest in it so it goes in only 180 waves and so on

[@KoshMobile]

Great one

[@pichuyang3865]

Very helpful! Things are going as I expected!

[@jeh987]

Good video. Good information. I’ve been playing a month now and just unlocked tier 8. Keep the videos coming

golden bot is the only bot that should be bought and invested in until waaay later. and start by only upgrading range until the bot actually covers a significant area. but only spend your left over currency after buying the themes. also early game its ok to spend on gems once or twice each event, while extra card slot and extra Labs is still relatively cheap. as these upgrades gets more expencive there is less efficiency in spending event currency on gems. Im at a late early stage where a gem purchase is no longer worth it, but stones are still worth to get twice, as my golden tower and black hole is just been synched (2 most important farming ultimate weapons for early and late game, and they should trigger together for added bonus, hence the term synched), and Im at the point that I need to start investing heavily in golden tower strength and duration. black hole dont need to be invested stone in for a while before or after cool down synch, as it can safely last 12 seconds shorter than golden tower due to the perk bonus that black hole gets. you only need to go for the black hole labs upgrades for a while after synching. Then when you finally feel that its getting a significant result, you can get a 3rd ultimate weapon(if you were lucky with your first draws) or start investing in other Ultimate weapons. ive read that chrono field is good, but more towards the late game. And that chain lightning is a good early game attack based ultimate weapon as its cheap to upgrade and is always active. Im also not to sad about the swamp I chose before starting to read up on strategies, its also always active, and will contribute to my current blender build as soon as i think i can start investing in other things than my golden tower back to the golden bot, yes it is cool to get that into the synch at some point as well for more coins. so dont touch the cool down upgrade on the golden bot before you have saved up an amount of event rewards and understand the implications, it upgrades 3 sec at the time, or 1 very expensive second in labs. it needs planning

[@odman7945]

Getting golden tower is extremely important. Restarted a couple times, during tournament you can get first ultimate weapon after couple hours of progression so its easy. I managed to get Golden Tower into Black Hole (yay). Golden tower can give you a lot of extra money, also wave skip gives you money 1.1x from previous wave including Golden Towe bonus. Btw. with Golden Tower and Black Hole you can sync the bonuses. Its quite easy with GT 4:30 and BH 3 minutes, this means every third GT you get Black Hole simultaneously. I myself am having problems with Vampires, I’m trying to get to wave 4500 on tier 1 for the Coin relic. Target priorizarion level 2 would let you deprio elites, so they would get killed by thorns. Target prio 2 is 900 million, my whole workshop is worth 1 billion :/. Atm I’m not labbing attack speed because with lower attack speed the vampires wont get knocked out and will get thorned.

[@KoshMobile]

Very nice write up 👍

[@odman7945]

@@KoshMobile thx. After trying the run with more damage and super tower the damage just is not enough. So I respecced to more health. I have 200 levels damage and rest mostly in health. (Other cheaps workshops to full) Got to wave 4267 :/. Vampires die to the thorns, but I have a lot of problems with scatters as they will overwhelm knockback. Damage level was also around 2200 at thos point with just free upgrades. Selective targeting fast instead of closest. helps with vampires

[@alexyps2155]

Lowering the cool down of the black hole to 3:00 is a mistake. The best type of sync is always the sync that had a 1:1 ratio meaning that every gt you get a bh, since bh starts with a lower cool down than gt that means that lowering the cool down of bh even further will then require much more time and stones to do a good sync with gt. Vampires can be easily killed with target priority, intentionally not doing attack speed labs can cause problems since you are staying behind and the more attack speed the better. I have an attack speed value of 12.70 and have no problem dealing with them, having recovery packages and setting the priority to basics I can normally kill most of them in 10 seconds or less. Also, having a thorns value of 101% via modules can really help take them down since they will only require 1 hit instead of 2. With the new update they kind of made this a bit not needed though since getting even 1 level of the new garlic thorns lab upgrade can easily deal that extra 2% health as thorns so the rest can easily be one shotted by tower thorns.

[@odman7945]

@@alexyps2155 indeed I had lowered the BH cooldown already once before starting to think about the sync. In any case at the end I will want to lower both cooldowns. My plan would be to save enough stones to go from 4,5->3 minutes on GT to get to 1:1 sync. After this I can lower both at the same time. This 4,5 minutes 3 minutes combo was the cheapest I could find as it doesnt require so many stones. Btw. noticed that after around wave 3500 you can start using speed card, because there is so many enemies, vampires will still get sucked in. Also noticed that perk rng plays a big role in this, on my latest run I did not get a single -20% perk requirements or +health cards. Missing many perks while not getting any extra health :/

[@hakanslattorp3836]

Its good to do perks lab Then you can chose a ultimate weapon At way 200. Lets say you goot smart missel Parhapse you want it to the mission Ore its hitt 10 000 in svamp. Ore desth way. I think you can sink black hole 3.50 sek You can also try to sink golden boat and golden tower so then go off in the same time. But i think You have to play more to geet it right

[@hakanslattorp3836]

Whait to you geet the ultimate weapon Black hole. It will rain coins to you Lets say you have golden tower 5 x coin Lets says black hole is 5 x coin Lets say your coin per kill is 5 per kill Then they are aktive in the same time you geet 5× 5××5 = 125 coins per kill ennemy So to poriter is to synk golden tower and black hole then you geet it

[@KoshMobile]

@hakanslattorp3836 can't wait, I hope I will get it soon

[@hakanslattorp3836]

Wave skip is good. Let the game play. And wash a movie instaed

[@spinach5505]

Death Wave it all right i don't mind it. and the DMG scales as you move forward in the round

[@Eggzy-b7f]

I chose the Black Hole first thankfully

[@aidenbrown1464]

I screwed myself when picking my ultimate weapon. Does anyone have any good tips on those? I need to know how screwed I am 😂

[@aidenbrown1464]

My options were landmines that did 20X the towers damage, Death Wave that only does 2X damage, and I forgot my third option. So how screwed am I guys?

@ytisfulloffreaks4189 Ok, thanks! I managed to get golden tower for my second ultimate weapon, so now it's a pretty good run, I'm saving up a lot of money and I'm doing a lot of lab research now, I'm a bit upset that I've unlocked so many cards, but still haven't gotten that stupid coins card XD

[@fantasion_voidv.4412]

I accidentally clicked smart missiles when presented golden tower... I didnt know i was screwed like that

[@hakanslattorp3836]

Do all 5 labs first. Spend noting gem on nothing else. Every labs save 180 gem. If you will speed upp a lab. In 24 hours it cost 180 gem. Lab spped is also a topp pioteri You can play more tournament. It Coast 10 gem to play a sekund time

[@Eggzy-b7f]

Your spelling sucks man

[@mrwolfdigtrainer]

There is never really a reason to play a tournament twice, FYI

[@mbrick87]

New update has been done to the game so I would now say GT & DW are the best UWs now for beginners.

[@JamesLow-m2j]

I drew black hole as my first UW. Should i restart to try for Golden Tower or can i try for it in the next draw of UW?

[@hughjazz4936]

BH ist the 2nd best UW. You wanna keep it. Make sure to research its labs and DO NOT REDUCE ITS CD for now.

[@gripps2211]

iIs there a reason why there's a slow level followed by a fast one before moving up to the next level?

[@KoshMobile]

I think the fast one is cooldown before the next wave, so you could change your cards.

[@IsayaKitten]

How do i earn coins from missions? I only get gems & modules

[@UltimaStealth]

How about a whales guide? Like buying card slots, and alll labs unlocked, but still beginner. Like i'm not sure which cards or modules, or ultimate weapons. I dont really understand gold tower but I unlocked it second. a guide on farming for labs would be cool too. currently i just unlocked max game speed, and free upgrades are all maxed from coins, usually i have lab speed, lab coin, type of researches, so far no research is in workshop discounts

[@glebkrawez5046]

What the deal with enemy balance card? I already have 2 lvl3 cards and basically unlocked all commons and yet no enemy balance. Is there some condition on it cause i googled and found nothing about it.

[@KoshMobile]

@@glebkrawez5046 nah, it's random. I still miss coins for crit card

[@mrwolfdigtrainer]

It random. But it is a common card so it should appear without too much effort. Pro tip. If you actually max a card it IS removed from rng. So just keep pulling cards

[@Mehmettfa]

Hi kosh, İ am 1 month player. İ run 2000 wave tier 1, only 1 time, and 1000 wave tier 2 . Finally İ have garlic Thorn, and on labs improve it. Labs; game speed, golden tower duration, attack and garlic Thorn. Maybe i can buy 5. Lab soon. But, i try again tier 1 and i can't reach 2000 wave. Vampire and other elites is trouble. One time 4 million coin gain. Max 20k coin per minutes. İ need your advice; labs priority, workshop priority and others ... Thanks ❤

@@KoshMobile THANK GOD I was sad because I like the game but I was not starting another account lol

DW is the 3rd best UW, not even close to CL.

[@NitariaRex]

Do bots from events expire when the event expires?

[@KoshMobile]

No, but you can reset resources spent on each each event.

[@NitariaRex]

@@KoshMobile Relics remain as well right? The new event has two of them.

[@robertthompson7059]

​@@NitariaRex Yes, Relics are permanent and so are the Tower Skins and Backgrounds and their bonuses stack too. Skins and Backgrounds for example give you a permanent bonus of Coins and the bonus multiplies with the rest of the Coin bonuses. Which is why it's highly suggested to prioritize getting the Skins and Backgrounds first then use the remaining Event Ribbons to buy other things you want. Among Bots, the Golden Bot is considered the best Bot to get first and it's a bit important to unlock them in the right order since with every Bot you unlock, the price for the next one is DOUBLED, so if you make a mistake of unlocking the wrong one, it's not the end of the world but will cost you 300 Gems to reset all of the Bots again and get all the Ribbons you've invested in them 100% back. Sorry for butting in like this with a wall of text, I just enjoy this game too much. 😂😅 Happy Towering. :)

[@NitariaRex]

@@robertthompson7059 highly appreciated, no butting in here! I already got the golden bot, which ones should i go for in order next?

@@robertthompson7059 Man there's no such thing as butting in, thanks so much for the help! Didn't Skins and Backgrounds expire? Or it's just them expiring and the bonus remains?
