I posted a guide.

I would love it if the designer gave it a quick look see, and I would also appreciate any corrections needed if anyone else gives it a look see.
Thanks in advance!

Sweet! Glad someone read it! Was a lot of fun writing it too...

Helix, by any chance you discovered how to unlock Orb Of Luck? i saw you posted this q in other thread without response. thanks!

Not yet. I guess it requires earning all the other one, then at some point killing an IceMan causes it to pop up, but I've gotten as far as day ten on hard with all of them on, with no luck. Maybe I need to get to day eleven? Or maybe there is some trick, like it has to be on easy with only certain artifacts on or some such.

Thank you for the guide, it was very helpful. However the only time I managed to beat the entire game was when I got a Rocket Launcher with a special effect in the shop and speced exclusively into good tower build options. Deviating from strongest towers or not rolling into good RL so far leads to failure for me.

One thing I'm still uncertain on is: does unspent water get accumulated between Days or not?
Cause I'm playing like if it is. I conserve water during early days (Day1 = hero only, Day 2 = 1 camp, Day 3 = 2 camps etc.) but it doesn't seem to accumulate much and every mission in later days I seem to start with around 200 water.

Unspent water stays in later mission, which is why I suggest conserving it when possible.
I also suspected that the rocket launcher was perhaps the only weapon you can win with, and the poison cloud affect seems the most useful.
The game is clearly designed to be hard! I have beaten it a few times, once on hard! I like the game though...

Thank you very much for posting this well written, detailed guide, much appreciated. I'm sure many of the players will find this very, very useful.

I'm currently working on a roguelite called Danger Gazers that you may find fun since it kind of has the same feel as Dead Ground :) as a thank you I'd like to offer you a free key, that's the least I can do.

Awesome work!
