Pandemonium Iron Challenge.

[Honorable_D]

Can't use our beloved Tesla Towers on this so I was wondering how you guys deal with the Legion monsters?

I tried Ranger towers with Vines but that just wasn't enough towards the end. All the exploding demons make Barracks pretty useless and none of the Mage towers have AoE.

i beat the iron challenge with ranger + golem towers.. this is what my map looked like at the end

there's probably a better way to do this, i had to be smart with my reinforces and golems, but it's doable

I tried that exact setup... the Legions mutliply too much and get through.

What order do you build and upgrade the towers?

[H ❣ C]

You need two Sorceror towers for the Cerberi (one with golem 2) and 2 poison arrow towers asap, then you'll be fine.

I had a different setup - http://i.imgur.com/Qio8A5n.jpg
This one. Lower sorc tower has golem2, arrow tower has poison and root 1.

Build a second arrow tower on the right side, so it covers most of the lane (one right one down from the right sorc tower is good) and get it to poison 1 and root 1 asap. Make sure to position your hero near the golem and support it with spear throwers, too.

Upgrade golems and poison/root and add more poison towers on the lower lane, as well as a second sorc tower on the lower island, for another golem tank spot. I also added a knight tower in the middle of the lower M, but it probably won't be needed.

You need to be liberal with your rain of fire. ANy time legions are looking to go out of control, NUKE them.6

I thank you for the advice but I just ended up caving in and watching a Youtube vid of it. Was pretty easy with the setup I copied and here it is for those that care:

Start with upgrading the Ranger towers and maxing out the Roots. Then work on the 3 Sorcerer towers and add their Earth Golems, finally, get the Arcane towers and max out Teleport and then spend the last money you make on Disintegration Ray.

Seems the general strategy is similar, with different positioning.

I quite like that different angles work out though, the map is really well designed.

I tried pretty much every suggested build, multiple times. To no avail, simply dont see how you are supposed to handle the massed Legion's. The only potential AoE at your disposal is the Roots of the Ranger towers, super expensive and possibly the worst tower in this game (Possibly even worse then the Barbarians! Lol) and the Legion's are highly resistant to their damage.

" the worst tower in this game "

And that is why you fail this map, while those of us who use the "worst tower in this game" have a pretty easy time and can beat this map every try.

You need their poison shot AND the AOE. What happens is that the poison ticks away at their health. Each clone they make is weaker due to this, so even though they LOOK scary, the poison is ticking and they will die.

If you are still doing it wrong, try placing another sorc tower on the left side and handle the right side with fire rains entirely. I just don't see why you don't just use the poison tower to solve your problem :/

Pro tip: fully upgraded Forest Tower with Level 3 Vines can AoE its way through huge groups of the weaker Demons. That's the key to victory.

Finally cracked it thanks to the Youtube video posted today.

The mistake i made was buying poison and also not using the peasants to stop Cerberus for a few seconds so that Elemental can return.
