Anything beside runestone towers?

[Fimbultyr]

Hello,

i just "beat" the game by a runetsone volcano combo and tried some other stuff aftre it. But no matter what i tried, without runestone, i will come to a halt very quickly. I think all other towers perform much , much better, especially because their banners are better.
Does anyone have an idea what else could win the game? i am happy for all idea without runestones

Arc + Volcano towers have great synergy. I got to wave 38 with this tower combination. A single tower run with only Arc towers got me to wave 36.

You can look at the leaderboard and see what the top players are using. Pretty much any combination of towers work. Runstone and Frost towers are currently at the top of the board.

On a side note check out the build script in the guides section. It's a great build.

Leaderboad is full of exploiter, cheater. after the DEF fix a Tower or exploit they did not remove the people from the Leaderboard. only one time got to wave 50 with Runestone / Prisma+Trinity Build , the wave 50 feels impossible for me :D

Yeah, there are some exploiters but to say the devs are doing nothing is spreading misinformation because that claim is not true at all. They have removed exploiters in the past few days alone, and do so quite often, and they are continually working on making it better.

I got to wave 34 with only arrow towers.

Same as above. I beat the 30 waves with only arrow towers. Found it kind of easier since I only had to manage 3 out of 4 of the resources lol (sometimes went down to 2 out of 4 since i didn't need workers in wheat due to upgrades)

[TaKtLo$$]

yes arrows only can still go to 39 maybe 40

I really like shadow>Raven>Tornado>Arrow towers combo,

Shadow Tornado, pact of Dusk, and Damnable Weak is really strong, just make sure you take dmg% for the arrows, and check Shadow Tower's banners first dont take the debuff ones, Overdose is really insanely strong, and everytime Insanity legendary comes out always get that

I can't get past wave 10 with any other tower but the runestone tower. No matter what I try

all you need for the Bosswave is a Boskiller, play whatever combo you want and place a Raven Tower for the Wave 10 and its easy :) if you want to kill the Boss with other Towers like Arc, you need a lot for the boss. so the best is just use raven for wave 10 and you can delete after :)

Jeah I noticed that pretty early, but I thought that every tower should have its way to be viable, or do I just have wrong expectations?

For example I have no idea how you guys get so far with just arrow towers. Even if I focus completely on building a lot of them, even early on, upgrading their damage as much as possible, they still suck

How are you spending your starting gold? When I am doing an arrow tower strat a normal start for me is building the mine and buying the perk that gives you 10 gold a turn, then putting 2 workers in gold production so i will get 20 gold next wave and then spend that 30 gold i have on another perk that will increase either my wood production or food production by 20. Then i put all 4 workers on gold to get 30 gold on wave 3. Then I will be making 10 gold, 20 food, and 20 wood production passively. At that point i will start focusing my workers in wood production.


Also i try to limit the amount of towers I build at the start until i uncover a good spot on the map to place a bunch of towers. I also prefer upgrading firerate at the start instead of damage. The two banners i prefer to get first is the one that just increase the firerate and the other one that makes arrow towers produce wood and increase their damage. I feel like the bleed banner is probably the least useful one early on.

I usually always upgraded to 8 workers before anything else. I might give your tactic a try.

Just lost my 4th run to the boss that destroys the 4 best towers, this is just frustrating and not fun at all

those perks that increase your production passively are = to 2 workers. At least until you start buying stuff that increases worker production. So at wave 3 having 3 of those production perks is like having 6 workers + the 4 you can start with.

Jeah I treid that and it does work pretty well, much better than what I did before.
I still don't understand how arrow towers are supposed to become good. I had 3 legendary banners before wave 10(dmg and extra arrow chance, wood and dmg and fire rate). Killed the boss with a raven tower, still lost in wave 14 because the enemies just ran by my arrow towers. I had like 8 or 9 arrow towers at this point

We actually delete all of them and always fix the exploits afterwards if we can find them and replicate them :)
