When You UPGRADE A Death Ray To INSANE LEVELS in Rogue Tower

[@cow_powah]

Blitz, get to chopping those trees! You bought both upgrades for it afterall. Mortar towers just aren't needed in the late game. As the comments say, focus up on 3-4 tower types and keep to just that. Mana regen is the majority of your goal as those towers will just be mana drainers anyways.

[@kahtyman7293]

yeah, invests so much in benefits from chopping trees and not doing it. that's a Blitz for ya

[@hubertnnn]

Mortars are amazing late game after you get range upgrades since a height 3 mortar with 2 range upgrades can reach half the map. And they are still an AOE.

[@brianmcclenahan617]

The tower greed got him.

[@maxbennett5412]

He didn't pay attention to his mana. If he had just spammed some more mana banks he would have lived.

[@tylertymchuk9576]

He lost bcz he ran out of mana letting things get through

[@The_Econom1st]

33:55 Blitz didn't realize he ran out of mana. Great run and great content!

[@goldenalpharex1841]

That was so painful to watch, he was doing so well and went like "okay but what if I didn't want my upgraded towers to have access to mana anymore?" lol

[@peterpinkous8555]

Maybe he should do post commentary so he is not distracted by trying to do live commentary.

[@legro19]

Yeah obelisk are just good for spending all your mana. Zone damage is the more efficient way to spend this mana. He need to limit the type of tower he use, so he will get more advanced upgrade. He never use the tree to.

[@danielh.9010]

@@legro19 Yeah, obelisks should be placed behind the kill zone to kill the stragglers that survived the area damage. Otherwise they'll spend too much mana and quite inefficient.

[@_Umbral]

nah, ima do my own thing@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5

[@SupaSoup]

One of these days, blitz will realize that taking so many different towers just dilutes the upgrade pool and spreads his resources even thinner.

[@punkttc]

yes and too many low level tower will drain mana too

[@barberj99]

Particle cannons do the best against shields. You need a combo of attackers, one for shields one for armor and one for health. In all of your attack areas.

[@peterpinkous8555]

PPC’s don’t level up very well. Compared to a TeslaT, when at lvl 30 can do 46,800 dmg in a minute consuming 330 mana a minute, the PPC at the same lvl does 48,000 dmg a minute consuming 216 mana a minute.

[@Lorkanthal]

@@peterpinkous8555 based on what you said the PPC does more damage for less mana so how do they not level up very well?

[@peterpinkous8555]

Slightly more damage a minute? TeslaT can easily multiply that value over a smaller distance compared to a PPC which requires long paths for effectiveness. PPC is early death in any multipath game. @@Lorkanthal

[@nickcrusaire]

21:40 taking the first level of damage upgrade for a tower unlocks the DOT damage upgrade! when you took the +1 Health damage for the frost tower, it unlocked the vampiric snow card for it to do bleed damage!

[@CreatorProductionsOriginal]

Fun fact: The neuro receptors (or whatever the name is) for hot and cold are different ones, which means that in theory you could feel like burning and freezing at the same time (btw not sure if it’s neuro receptors or another one) An example of this is fever, which you feel hot and cold at the same time

[@Sigifrid]

Adding mines/health will increase your death tax income as it is a % of the tower health that gets taxed. A bit of an investment but would certainly leave you more money for later on.

[@hubertnnn]

A level 50 obelisk between the old path 2 tiles from tower and that new path that ended up there would be a huge help. Since its near spawn it would train it to insane levels and since its near the tower it could finish all struggler. Also its a good idea to specialize towers and to level it up to lv10 immediately after placing. Level ups do a lot especially if a tower is specialized. Also targeting most health is not a good idea since those enemies might still have armor and shield. Its better to target least shield then least armor and then most health.

[@Trevor21230]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: creeping cough is the most powerful upgrade in the game. You can easily get it pretty early on, have a few poison towers near the ends of the paths and have every single enemy moving with maximum slowness throughout the entire map. It's so good I literally don't even unlock the Frost Keep because all it does is dilute your upgrade pool.

[@Trevor21230]

Also, Tesla Towers are super underpowered. I honestly don't recommend ever using them. Poison towers are not straight up better, especially with Creeping Cough to show enemies based on how much poison they have.

[@flapjackson9248]

35:00 I would have chopped all the trees down for upgrades

[@frankt.9836]

You lost because of mana drop.. the three obelisks couldn't fire

[@Orofino6]

Ran out of mana again 33:55 , and demolish gives you back that money, but you lose upgrade levels you spent on it.

[@lh2588]

lifehack: have about 10 universitys, with every damage type levelled up to 10. The university increases the damage to health, armor and shields of ALL of your towers.... And when you level up towers, remeber the damage type they're good at. Poison Sprayer and Teslas are good for shields, Obelisks, Flame throwers and mortars for armor and shredders for health... Just a few examples

[@-JustHuman-]

Blitz WE need to take this slow. You need towers that hits shields to be in the first line, it does not help to make a cluster of kinds of damage in the same places in they don't do damage. Damage first Shield -> Amour -> Health So no shredders are needed before after the shields are down. Focus on mana more, as you use more and more and keep running dry. ALWAYS get the university if there is a spot, as it makes your tower better for free. Some towers are better in a line than a circle attack range. You want your sprayers, shredders and flame towers to damage down a line, as they will hit more. If they turn with a enemy they only damage a few at the time. Your circles and multiply ways into range are frost, vampire and Tesla. As they hit all enemies inside, so the more areas that can have a enemy on it the better the DoT will be. Don't build bow and mortar towers late game, they are not worth it. You got both upgrades for the trees, so chop chop. More upgrades are more good.

[@forcata.]

You didn't even used the trees 😂. Such a torture to watch 😂. Keep up.

[@dominiclucarelli7398]

Each tower naturally has it's "best use", i.e. HP- Shredder Armor - mortars, flame thrower Shields- tesla coil, poison sprayer Your Obelisk is burning thru all your mana. It works best on single units further back towards your main tower. Push your AoE units further forward, i.e. tesla, flame, poison to strip off shields and armor and let your Obelisk chew them up after that

[@tannerkennedy4941]

Encampment and balista. Literally, all you need. At least for single defense. Buy mines and haunted houses, place baliatas next to regular houses and upgrade the encampments as much as possible. Can go the spicy route and give ballistas poison and burning, which can also slow.

[@omarsfuntimes1156]

0:50 BRO WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!! (QUITE) DANGEROUS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

[@irinaopricaluca3639]

1:07

[@DETHdressedInRED]

Blitz I think this is probably the luckiest path I've ever seen anyone get in this game lol.

[@nathandavid9613]

there were a lot of places with a potential to be a "Kill Zone" or places that could reach two paths at once

[@Andrew-zc4qo]

Ah, you're starting to see the value in these high tier upgrades. See, you dont need 1 of every tower when they all eventually get every type of damage. You're getting better, just need to stay focused on ~3 tower types! You got this!

[@pi7855]

you should try out mortars, they don't cost mana which is the thing that usually kills you when you run out, they do aoe and your entire defence can be that one tower spammed all across the map. "either you use mortars or you use mana and constanty keep track of it"

[@BrokenCurtain]

2:25 That can actually happen in space. If you're close to the sun, you might get toasted from the front while your backside is freezing. And of course you'd suffocate, too.

[@skylerlightning4620]

Blitz you need consider getting university since it upgrade all towers when it complete a research allowing them to do more damage to type that was research.

[@TheEnthraller]

Also use one university for a single type of damage and don't upgrade it for multiple things

[@Siberian_Huskey]

Suggestion. Blitz when there is a Split you want to control and defend at the split to not spread your forces too thin. So you wont lose

[@looniebinn]

The Life Steal upgrades are some of the best. You're getting whatever % of your total mana constantly because mobs are constantly dying. I saw you skip it multiple times and was not surprised when your game ended because you had no mana. I love this game and I'm so excited that you've been playing it!!

[@MildTimes]

“you know, they don’t call me Balista Blitz for nothing.” - Blitz probably.

[@dinosuargirl15]

Pathways only end in the last couple rounds before the BIG OOGIE (level 45) at the end (depending on how many paths you have open) or if there is no other way for the path to go (ie hits a deadens) You need to focus on a couple (2-4) towers and grabbing cards to unlock there upgrade trees to get the better cards. If you want to focus on AoE damage you should try to get the enemies to be more bunched up to use less mana, and if you wanna focus on single target tdamage the enemies should be more spread out to allow time. You'll get there eventually! You got this!

[@SamiKotiranta]

Fewer damage types upgraded all the way are better than every damage type upgraded halfway...

[@hubertnnn]

Yep, since tower's damage is just tower level multiplied by type level multiplied by base damage (each tower type has different).

[@alphahunter4791]

A good idea would be working on card synergy. Examples would be when going for sorcerer with the intention of going deep into it, it would be good to go mana bank and savings accounts so you get almost 3 mana per bank. Same idea for haunted houses (going for cards that boost health and hoping for spaces w mines).

[@billcarter4523]

I really like this video, because it's just normal, everyday Blitz. Usually, he's planned something, but here, he's just normal. Trust me, I'm an emotion reader.

[@Earthenfist]

For a while I was trying to do a single-path run that was ONLY a single Obelisk (death ray) tower, just pumping everything- every upgrade, every coin- into it and mana generation. It works better than you'd think if you get a good path.

[@willstewart538]

Great run! Tbh, I have never had good luck with the encampments. They don’t do enough damage- even upgraded. Literally any other tower is more worth it.

[@stephenp8232]

At 50 stacking frost towers with the stun upgrade makes the game easy if your going a full dot build. I do like to add in mortars to slap on houses to add damage do half armor and half shields to spread damage type with them... and look for a + damage for all 3 types to add the dot to what they hit as well... they level up on their own decently fast with their range. The saw if you max how much bleed they apply and the max bleed dps its almost all you need for health. Obelisk can finiah things off for health by throwing levels on it behind your final shield and armor line... getting the cannonball is only worth it when you have good lines as it doesnt matter what type they are it destroys everything. But you rarely get a good map for them.

[@slowpokehermes2866]

good run, blitz! If you put frost keeps across the maps and take frost damages, they will slow down the enemies

[@viktorlefebvre4374]

Blitz, you should put frost towers a bit in front of the other towers, especially Flame and Poison, as the enemies can advance significantly before the slowing effect starts and enemies are slowed even after leaving the frost tower.

[@Uubier]

so towers gain xp for the specific dmg they impact on, so a flamer turret can gain shield because its place far forward and thats the bars its hitting, which you can boost that specific dmg type even if the flame is meant to destroy armor, but i would shy away from increasing the hp strength on things far forward because they will never get thru to that bar.

[@Sanity016]

You're making incredible progress! you'll win a round one of these days. you're taking our advice which is very nice of you. keep up the amazing work! your videos are a lot of fun to watch!

[@TacDonut]

Blitz you’re doing great! Fun to watch and you gotta learn along the way. Love watching this game

[@weldernick3750]

Watching blitz struggle through this game is entertaining and painful as all hell lol

[@GlaucoHass]

lol he built the perfect death combo and blew everything away by not watching for mana. Poor blitz, he will get it right the next time.

[@Linkbond]

Always keep an eye on the darn mana! Also, upgrading mana using towers also slowly starts increasing their mana cost as well. I swear, most of your losses are due to too much mana usage from what I have seen of you playing this game so far.

[@rithvikarun7112]

its better to focus on 1 or 2 main dps towers like the obelisk/ballista and particle cannon(for shields) and focus on getting all the upgrade cards for it to max it out also spam frost towers everywhere whenever you have enough money is a good strat with some damage over time towers mixed in

[@cadanadrian2970]

Hey blitz, try to use the particule canon

[@devonhiggs6581]

I feel like we should give some appreciation to blitz. He reads all the comments and actually listens, even when we are kinda mean.

[@Am_New_Here]

You hit a major mana deficit there at the end. adding that many Obelisks will do that

[@PHP-009]

28:21 Brother SILENCE, not brother science💀

[@WayneNorton-t8u]

Try partical canon it sounds like it damages shields

[@danielh.9010]

yeah, particle cannon is good against shields, but only against a few big targets, not suited to be used against masses of enemies. it has no area damage and a slow rate of fire, is expensive, and consumes quite a lot of mana. so it's ideal against bosses and some late game enemies, but not a replacement for poison thrower or tesla coil.

[@Dedjester-to9uk]

Blitz not paying attention to mana. "How'd they get through!?"

[@EyeDewDie]

Is out of mana, "let's put a bunch of towers that need mana." 1 second later dies, "Why does this keep happening?"

[@Surilan]

MOAR ROGUE TOWER! And/or Forts with Intern.

[@anderssrensen7533]

on last wave you was way out of mana, you was more dry than the desert

[@itshuski]

lets gooooo I been waiting for the upload, keep it up :)

[@nikophilopoulos833]

The earlier you get things like banditry, the more value you get out of it. Like investing 100$ when you’re 15 vs when you’re 45

[@DSiren]

You should try sticking to one advanced tower and spamming the crap out of it. I beat the game using just mortars, flamethrowers, and ballistas because they were the only towers I'd unlocked. Mortars can have their AOE increased, supply bleed, fire, and poison, AND have a large attack radius making anywhere they can hit into a killzone (at least when you put them as high as possible).

[@barbaquerosas431]

if you do a 2 tower type such as balista and shredder, you can focus really khard on just there upgrades and ballistas can be really op with ther max upgrades, like when each one uses mana to increase damage

[@forstmonkey1941]

you forgot to keep an eye on mana

[@vallisofseraph3683]

This is the correct answer. Once your mana bottomed out, most of your towers stopped working.

[@b_i_r_d8840]

multiple heavily upgraded shredders are the way to go

[@adolfjackson8669]

Lets gooo,more rogue tower

[@Kuffen_infinity]

Wish that if the map cirkles an area so its enclosed it autofills it with random stuff

I hope Blitz realizes soon that the obelisk does armor damage not Shield damage

[@thebloodmoongod1375]

You should just line obelisks up at the end

Try out the cannon, it's surprisingly powerful on long straights and takes no mana

[@nuru666]

This is why I always use a backbone of mortars :P

[@halvarianknight4477]

You died because you built two extra obelisk and just projectile vomited your manna out the window.

[@Timithydwolf]

Built up too quickly your mana died out so your obelisk couldn't do the work.

[@secretsmith813]

Range is the best upgrade. Dont skip it. Also getting the tree chopper upgrade is useless if you cut down no trees.

he had no idea he was dry on mana and then built like 6 mana towers, whoops

[@mushroomwine8294]

MANAgement, get it? haha

[@PooPooKachoo]

I think in the later levels he always loses because he can't see that he has no mana even tho he usually sitting on 5k moneys XD

[@ΛΕΥΤΕΡΗΣΔΟΡΓΙΑΚΗΣ]

also make sure to keep an eye to your mana

hearing blitz say "bro" unironically has damaged my mental state, please send help

[@maartenvrijsen3606]

HE DIDN’T USE THE GOLDEN FOREST

[@studiog3m]

Mana went pretty low at the end there. So obelisks couldn’t keep up.

[@ripbuddler7409]

Blitz Tesla Tower do AOE dmg so need no aim. For all other towers you need to call them good. But a Tower who focus much healt must deal with their armor and shield first. For this type you need to set the Tower on Most Healt, Least shild, least armor.

[@Andyjoe522]

While Tesla towers attack a set area around them, if my understanding is correct setting them to specifically target one of the three damage types will help push them toward naturally upgrading that damage type over the others. Granted it's been about a year since I last played, so mechanics surrounding towers leveling up could have changed since then.

[@ryanthom7142]

Next vid gotta be maxing amount of obelisks and mana banks lol

[@09jcraft]

It's better to have fewer towers but upgraded rather than having a lot of towers that is level 1

[@DeAdSoT7582]

use the cannon

[@Yuvallyly]

In that last round, your mana was low most of the round. It could be the reason you lost.

[@simmang18]

should have made your tower stronger instead of ignoring it, never ever forget that just cause your doing great somewhere there always a "Well what IF they get through" thought brewing in the back of your mind. The first thing you should do is make sure the tower is seriously safe.

[@RedMr2506]

Lack of upgrades for mana killed him.. every time it showed up

[@adastra4567]

Bro always look your mana thats why there are so many enemy getting far

[@0b3r0ther]

With all those updates, you could have place around 20 to 30 Obelisk on the map... It's sad you doesn't gain back the money used into upgrades, when you sell the tower. So once you start upgrading it, it's not worth to sell it anymore.

[@lamios1000]

More towers doesn't mean better. You can win the game with only 10 towers. You bought the flamethrower and poison tower at the finale and your mana was depleted. So your obelisks couldn't fire

[@leonchambers7462]

I feel as if you focus on one area too consistently and I feel like you need a balance of towers that can use mana and without mana

[@francoisfareed35]

Upgrade all poison and flame towers as well
