Laser & Inferno of little value?

[Bazzer]

Having played DG & now DG2 can I suggest that the Laser & Inferno towers have little value. I often use them to see if they make a difference and am always disappointed and wished I'd used a Cannon or Gun or ...

Can these towers not be given something of more value. I must admit to getting slightly bored always going for Cannons after the initial Guns have prevented an early massacre!

Unless there was recent patch that I missed, I found infernos to be more effective than gun towers. At least I was able to get much higher scores when only using infernos.

I agree ive found Laser towers appear do do very little damage compared to DG1. the DOT effect is nice but general damage even fully upgraded seams pathetic particularly for their price.

I melt faces with the Laser Towers. Of course, I use them in conjunction with others. But they seem fine to me.

THe lasers might be weak but in DG2 their effects looka awesome!

I've never found lasers to be cost effective. Infernos though, they're inexpensive and they're great for cooking groups of enemies. Remember that they do squat against shields so placing them a little further back on your route, after your guns have had a chance to whittle down those shields, is a good idea. Putting them too close to the start of the AI path means anything with shields gets by with hardly a scratch, which is a waste of resources. And spread them apart so that you can maintain that burn DoT without overlapping.

No shielded units in DG2 beta ATM though.
Inferno towers are still king vs mass due to AOE damage.

Right on Kotil - only last night I was finally able to beat both Elite levels of the demo - by using more ( and better placed ) Inferno's!
