Best DPS Tower

[Blakey Blake]

Whats the best DPS Tower? I currently have Skeleton Mage lvl 5 Who deals the most Damage for me and Im currently lvling Fire Dragon. Is he the best End Game DPS?

Thanks, Blakey

Darkness Dragon is the best End-Game DPS Tower.
While leveling most people go from a Skeleton mage to a SoulMage or to a Werewolf and then move on to Darkness Dragon. (But that's totally a personal preference and not a must to follow)

Is Darkness Dragon an Evo of Dusk Dragon?

My Skeleton Mage lvl 5 deals 384B and my Soul Mage lvl 4 only deals 249M

IDK who Wearwolf is? Dog Bowwow?

Thanks for reply xx

I dont like Darkness Dragon myself.
He is a pain to levelup and to farm XP.
Because of his "kill all on the map" skill.
I use Nexus Bot and i find him much better overall. Granted, Darkness Dragon clears waves faster. But since special towers give so much boosts (that are often wasted with Darkness Dragon) in the long run the faster clear speed is not worth it at my opinion.

@ Blakey Blake: all Divine type monsters will outdamage every other lower monster type.
So at the end there are only the dragon and the bot that matters.
Your other monsters only do more damage, because you have more copies of them or you evolved them more.
But at the end Divine will catch up and do way more damage.

Darkness Dragon = Dusk Dragon indeed.
Werewolf might be called 'Pup' xD

Dogbowwow is the Epic Special Dog like Tower, sorry I forget the Evo 1 names haha

Nexus bot has lower base damage but higher attack speed which will be really noticable at higher levels. You can get max attack speed on both DD & Nexusbot with the same setup leaving Darkness dragon with more DPS since he has way more base DPS.

Leveling darkness dragon is actually the easiest of all towers. Just because of his nuke.

I level him on Forest with Nuke & Explosive Shot set to Boss Only. I tag my bosses with all EXP Boosts and just kill the boss and the whole map at the same time.

I do NOT care about regular enemies EXP since I'm stacking so much EXP on bosses that I just rely on that.

But how do you do it?
How do you stack all XP boosts on a boss, if the boss is killed instantly at showing on the map? I tried it myself, but the damage is faster then the boosts....

[Mr. Fibble]

Place the XP taggers in sequence starting from the entrance with the nuke attack set to only trigger on a boss and if the dragon is at the end of the path you shouldn't see the boss get killed as they spawn.

Try with pixie near the start, soul after the first bend and death mage below them, all in the left column on forest. That should do it but you may need to tweak the attack range just to make sure.

Even if you manage the 4 XP buffers and the 2 XP auras (the third XP aura is maybe possible, but i doubt it) before the nuke skill kills the boss, you loose most (almost 70%) of possible XP.

The pet that give more XP with every unique special type buffs are tagged give the most XP.
The gains from the pet are calculated at the end after every other XP boost (so after the 4 XP buffers).
It almost triple your XP at the end.

At my stage it is 240% more XP.
With maxed out new commander (that boost pet skills) it will be even higher.

My setting is 8 special towers, 1 attack tower and 1 support tower.
The support tower has the pet that buff every other skill (so every other XP boost).
The special towers have 11 unique buffs tagged till the boss is killed.

Yes, the dragon does more damage if you have a lot of attack speed upgrades.
Because of the lower speed and higher base attack.
Myself i will be forced to switch to him because of this later.

But now i gain more XP and can levelup all other towers way faster without using dragon at all. And the dragon itself is really harder to level up because of this.
Dragon is really only "extremly lategame".
I wish the nuke skill would be deleted or "never use this skill" became a new checkbox.
You loose so much XP only because of this skill, it hurts my grindy old hearth.

With this setup i have the most XP, the most energy gain and the most game speed.
But i cannot use the best Damage tower with it...only because of one skill that is at my opinion not really usefull.

how do you set up the towers and which map ddo you use?
at the moment i stuck a little

XP/Energy Grinding (so almost all the time):

Map: Desert

Towers left side:

Phantom (Pet: Moth moon)
Wraith (Pet: Blind)
Snake Naga (Pet: Trooper Bot)
Shadow (Pet: none at the moment)
Sunflora Pixie (Pet: Goliath)

Towers right side:

Soul Mage (Pet: Cyclops)
Death Mage (Pet: Moth Luna)
Wind Mage (Pet: Butterfly Hue)
Dog Bowwow (Pet: none at the moment)
Damage tower/Tower you want to levelup (time the range short, but high enough, that he kills in the killrange/Auras)

At the pets are only 3 important:
The Butterfly Hue and the Trooper Bot should buff all other Towers.
The Goliath and Butterfly Hue should be in killrange.

Commanders:
Forest Father and Fairy Mother

All Buff Skills on Boss only. So gold, XP and energy. If you dont set energy on boss only you make more energy, but way less XP because you loose 3 buffs for the Goliath Pet.

Edit: Spells
All ressource spells.
Gold and XP: Boss only. Mastership and Timewarp: on auto.

Please note that i am not at the endgame yet. So my setup is not really finished and can be improved after i am further into the game/more evole levels on the towers.

But i think only how i place the towers. Not changing a tower with another one.
