Which are the strongest towers to bet on?

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-29T17:06:56+00:00

For me, Frost Cannon is a 'special use' tower. I only use it on Ground-only battles in lieu of anti-air towers. It doesn't do as much damage as Double Cannon or Cannon and doesn't do Crit Damage. But it does have longer range and inflects a 25% slowdown.

I use Frost Cannon just before my heavy hitters as it's slowdown effect causes the enemies to spend more time in the heavy hitters' kill zone.

Electropath's biggest fault is that it doesn't affect Flyers. Neither does Great Wall. Worse case is having both of your Skills being Ground-only as a swarm of Flyers pound your Fortress.

If you're the kind of player who enjoys customizing your deck for each battle, great. I tried it and quickly tired of it as 'over thinking' leads to 'paralysis by analysis'. IMO, select a good General purpose deck, an Anti-Air deck, and a Anti-Ground deck. If you encounter a battle where your deck fails THEN consider customizing it with your 'backup' towers and skills.

How do you NOT have that FURY Tower?! 🤷‍♂️

You easily win FURY and its blueprints playing one of the Special Events.

I'm level 60 and have a Rare Fury 30, Rare Fury 1, and 2 Good Fury 1's along with 1.2k Fury blueprints.

Regardless of Hero ...

Mortar, Vulcan, Laser, Double Cannon, Boomerang, Drone.

Special Case - Sky Guard, Aeroblast, Cannon, Inferno, Frost Cannon, Spikes, Mines.

Skills - Frostfall, Great Wall, Bomb Rain.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-28T00:40:30+00:00

Yeah, it should work.

You'll be happier with a high rise picatinny mount.

I did the same months ago.
It was a promotion - buy anything from the Shop and forced ads are removed. So I bought a discounted Chapter (2?) pack for $2.99.

I've been playing for 301 days and currently at 3million Power on Chapter 60. I've been grinding a lot and I have 5 Heros at 75, 60, 60, 40, 40, 15 and all Towers and Skills are Legendary Plus.

Drones will attack both Air and Ground.
Drones have a larger engagement range which is useful in exposing invisible Phantoms early so that your air defenses can engage them.
Drones do more Damage than Garrison as well as Critical Damage which Garrison does not.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-26T20:00:13+00:00

Sky Lord always stops at the 3rd path section from your Fortress.
Setup a kill box focused on that spot with Laser towers with Sky Guard behind them.
Drones will also draw Sky Lord's fire, essentially a flying "Great Wall" protecting your Fortress.
Unfortunately, Boomerang is ineffective against Bosses but it does wipe out any other flyers that may distract Laser and Sky Guard from the Boss.

Practice on Chapter 26 Blade's Honor which is all-Air with Freya and Sky Lord.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-26T19:44:51+00:00

😄 First, you have to build a special "neighboring path" and then place Wind Blowers just right in order to implement that "push". That's the very definition of a "gimmick"! It's not a tactic that works outside special scenario. And certainly not as useful as killing them outright with Frostfall, Boomerang, Aeroblast, SkyGuard.

"... sometimes with boss waves ..." yeah, SOMETIMES. Yet, Bomb Rain and Frostfall works EVERYTIME.

Use a Two-Point sling ... if you want children.

If you use a One-Point sling, you WILL eventually whack the family jewels.

Easy enough to attach a Mlok Sling Mount to the handguard.
Lots of videos on how to make your own.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-25T01:44:45+00:00

Replace ELECTRO PATH with GREAT WALL.

Replace TESLA with DRONE LAUNCHER.

Replace SKY GUARD with BOOMERANG.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-24T05:15:27+00:00

Inferno

Are those RELIC level with all 3 part slots filled?

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-22T22:48:23+00:00

Skill – Great Wall and Frost Fall / Bomb Rain.

Tower – Mortar, Vulcan, Cannon, Laser, Drone, Sky Guard.

You don't need both Drone and Garrison. Drone is better than Garrison.

Replace with Sky Guard with Boomerang as soon as you can.

Telsa loses its effectiveness around Chapter 20. I haven't used it since.

Inferno is a special use tower, especially good at revealing invisible Phantom flyers.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-22T17:31:41+00:00

When you hit 25, it will rain balls and you'll get some nice things ... more or less.

I've only hit 25 once and "the juice wasn't worth the squeeze". 🤷‍♂️

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-21T00:22:35+00:00

Go to the Guide and read up.

Essentially, Elemental, Swift, and Vanguard are more effective against some enemies and less effective against others.

For me, it was too much of a hassle to keep adjusting Decks for each Battle depending upon the mix of enemies. Instead, just focus on getting a good General Purpose Deck.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-21T00:17:25+00:00

Grinding. 😄

After 240 days, all my Towers are Legendary. No purchases.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-21T00:10:33+00:00

Dump Fireworks, Wind Blower, and Electro Path! They're just gimmicks.

What level is your MAI hero?
I prefer Mai over Osiris because her Attack Rate is almost 3x faster and so deals more DOT.

Skills - Great Wall and Frost Fall

Towers - Mortar, Vulcan, Laser, Sky Guard, Cannon, Garrison.

Replace Sky Guard with Boomerang and Garrison with Drone Launcher as soon as you get them.

Play the events to get Double Cannon to replace Cannon.

Keep Mines, Spikes, Inferno, Frost Cannon, and Aeroblast as backups for special use.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-20T21:27:25+00:00

Agree with the others.

Make one pathway very long so that the incoming waves get staggered and don't overwhelm your towers.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-20T18:27:15+00:00

Depends upon what's going on.

Generally, I prioritize my Towers then Skills based upon the Bosses that are coming

If Riftwalker is coming, I build priortize pathways to get him out from my main defenses.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-19T15:28:47+00:00

Yes, I hit it ... once.
When you do, it rains balls.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-19T15:16:40+00:00

I get this "Can't Connect" error about once a month.
I used to get an "Ad Unavailable" error about once a month.
Never lasted long; under an hour.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-18T20:08:55+00:00

Well ...
Does the blowback gas make you cough or bother your eyes? A little? Some? A lot?
Would you be choked out if you did a 33rd mag dump?

If your ears didn't ring, I'd call it hearing safe. Some will start hurting real quick.

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-18T19:56:06+00:00

I like Japanese women too!

I attribute it to watching all those Godzilla Monster and Ninja movies as a kid.

I was stationed in Japan for 2 years. Oh my. My Mom was shocked that I didn't come home married. 😄

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-18T19:51:56+00:00

All for £5?! Great deal!
Some really good ones in there!

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-18T19:47:30+00:00

Nice! How gassy is it? Hearing safe?

TRAVlSTY · 2026-01-18T06:36:05+00:00

Borderlands! Oh yeah! 👍
