Impossible to beat spears intro level?

[Bornhuetter]

Not sure if I have a bug or something, but I can't beat the spears introduction level. I have tried all clubs, all spears, all protectors; I've tried a combination of units; I've tried spread out, I've tried clustering them. In every scenario I die badly to the spears. I've looked at video tutorials and tried identical setups, and they don't work.

try putting a load of protectors on one side, that usually works

um.
i just put a bunch of shielders all over the place, usually in a straight line.

I tried that multiple times, they just die. I think it must be bugged. Guess I'll just uninstall, this is unplayable.

I don't know why you would uninstall because you can't beat one level. Try activating all units so you can beat it

[Juliane_L]

you have really bad luck with your protectors i guess. (their shield protect them from projectiles but they have multiple exposed spots)

Anybody tried the stage yet to see if it got bugged somehow?

From my memory the introduction stages are really easy, often giving you more money than the enemy's worth. It should not be an issue to get past those spear lads.

If you are such a quitter as to uninstall an entire game over 1 stage when there's multiple solutions even if this 1 stage is (somehow) bugged, why post to begin with...

Put 1 clubber in front and put all other units beside, and behind, the first clubber. It should vaugely look like a triangle formation. The first clubber will draw all, or most, of the fire giving time for the other units to close the distance to the spear throwers.

I've tried the stage with this formation and it worked out pretty well.

Just use BUG DLC,S

I think I did two Protectors for the two lines of Spear Throwers. Then I spammed nothing but Spear Throwers.

All Protectors also worked.

i often put some protectors on one side and behind like three speartrowers.
So the protectors is tanking and the spear throwers dealing damage

All the other levels are locked. None of the tactics suggested here work, so the game is unplayable.

Thanks for the ideas all, but i think ill just move on to something else.

You only gave the game 0.1 hours. That's 6-12 minutes. I highly, highly suggest revisiting the level and giving it a few more attempts.

Edit: I am saying this because all you have done is booted up the game, maybe gave the map two-three tries, and then quickly called the game unplayable. This level is surprisingly easy compared to later levels.

Let me also just add, because this game has physics. You never, ever, ever get the same outcome.

Two Protectors against the top group of spears and all Protectors for the bottom group + 1 Clubber since you have money left over. Works 99% of the time.

Same here, can't get past it. I found a video tutorial and in the video there are only SIX enemies but when I play the tutorial level, there's TEN spears!! I could defeat 6, but not 10! what gives, did the game tutorial change since it was released? I can only afford 6 spears or 10 protectors or 11 clubbers but that's not enough against 10 spears.
