The essence of tower defense is "Time Management." Many rookies fall into the trap of thinking TD is just about "Firepower Coverage." You're wrong! The core of tower defense comes down to one word: Control.

In this game, monster HP scales exponentially, but your tower damage scales linearly. This means in the late game, simply stacking damage (DPS) will absolutely fail to kill mobs. You must find ways to extend the time monsters stay within your crossfire.

Part 1: The True "Tier List" of the Six Defense Towers

Spend your money on the blade, not the handle. Don't get scammed by cheap units.

T0 Tier: Absolute Core (You die without them)

• Rocket Tower (30g): This is the only source of AOE (Area of Effect) damage. Even with slow attack speed, the value of one shell blowing up a group far exceeds single-point damage. It is the "Muscle" of your defense line.

• Shock Tower (25g): This is the "Brain" of the game. Its job isn't to kill, but to freeze mobs in place for the Rocket Tower. Without a Shock Tower, half your Rocket shots will miss or only hit a single target.

T1 Tier: Special Forces (Highly situational)

• Laser Tower (30g): The ceiling for single-target damage. But this thing is only suitable for Bosses. If you use it on small mobs, that's "using a cannon to kill a mosquito"—a massive waste of money.

• Sniper Tower (25g): The Sniper has a hidden mechanic: Global/Super-long range. But its attack speed is too slow. Its only purpose is "Cleanup" (Finishing off low HP leaks).

T2 Tier: Transition Trash (Use and discard)

• Basic Tower (20g): Purely a transitional item. You might leak without it in the first 5 waves, but if it's still on your map after Wave 10, you are wasting land.

• Burst Tower (20g): A slightly more advanced Basic. Faster fire rate, good for clearing the fast "dog-type" mobs, but do not count on it as a main force.

Part 2: Building "The Kill Box" — Core Layout Logic

Don't sprinkle towers evenly across the map! That is the biggest taboo. You need to pick a spot and create a "Kill Box" where monsters enter but never leave.

1. Location: Find the U-Turn
Open the map and stare at it. Where is there a "U-Turn" or an "S-Bend"?
The center point on the inside of that U-Turn is the "Eye of the Formation."
Why? Because monsters go through "Entry, Turn, and Exit" in that curve, staying within the range of that single center point for the longest possible time.

2. Formation Formula: 1 Shock + 2 Rockets
This is the optimal solution I found after countless tests.
In the inner center of that U-Turn:

• The Carry Spot (Core): Place the Shock Tower. Ensure its circle covers the entire bend.

• The Guard Spots (Hugging the Core): Directly to the left and right of the Shock Tower, place 2 Rocket Towers.

Theory Analysis:
Mobs enter the bend -> Shock Tower triggers (Mobs rooted/slowed) -> Mobs behind them crash into the front ones, forming a clump -> Rocket Tower shells land -> BOOM! One shot deals x10 damage efficiency.
This is the "Clumping/Stacking" meta. You aren't just saving gold; you are maximizing kill efficiency.

Part 3: Step-by-Step Operation Guide (Wave 1 to Clear)

Theory is over; here is the hand-holding practice. Don't save up for a 30g Rocket immediately, or you will die miserably.

Phase 1: Survival is Victory (Wave 1 - 10)
At the start, you are dirt poor. Do not think about a perfect layout yet.

• Action: Build 2-3 Basic Towers or Burst Towers not far from the monster spawn point.

• Detail: Don't aim for a full HP clear in this phase. Leaking one or two mobs is fine. We need to save money. As long as you kill most of them, do not upgrade towers.

• Taboo: Absolutely DO NOT buy a Sniper! Slow towers in the early game are suicide.

Phase 2: Line Formation (Wave 11 - 25)
As soon as you have 55 Gold (25+30), immediately sell the trash towers from before!

• Action:

1. Go to the "Golden U-Turn" spot mentioned earlier.

2. Place the Shock Tower (25g).

3. Immediately add a Rocket Tower (30g).

• At this point, you will see the difficulty drop instantly. Monsters can't move, and then they get blasted away.

• Spend all subsequent money stacking more Rocket Towers around this core and upgrading them.

Phase 3: Targeting Bosses and Leaks (Wave 25+)
By now, simple explosions might not kill the high-HP Bosses, or extremely fast small mobs might rush past your Shock zone.

• Catching Leaks: Place a Burst Tower right at your base entrance.

• Execution: Place a Sniper Tower or Laser Tower in the spot with the widest view of the map.

• Key Setting: Click on this Sniper Tower and change its Target Priority from "First" to "Strongest".

• This step is crucial! We don't need the Sniper hitting half-dead mobs at the front; we need it to focus fire entirely on the full-HP Boss.
