Help for a noob [Red Squares]

[Deville]

Still very early on, dont have tesla or flames or anything .... blast tower and triple shot triangle are my newest towers.
I am regularly being stomped by the red squares, cannons seem too slow [same for sniper] to take down waves of them.
What am I missing?
What tactic works best for these?

I have been trying to go 1-2 cannon and one basic, with cannon set to "strong" and basic set to "week" .... but this is not working well.
Any help?

1 - you are expected to fail
2 - there is special menu wich features all buffs/debufs for every tower... (sorta replacement of inf1 in-game wiki)
2.1 - after selecting any tower to build there is blue i thing before you build it wich if clicked on shows you mentioned pannel

also "trigon" is sniper, canonical, blast is reworked, "triple" is a shotgun, you can increase amout of projectiles...

I am aware of the chart, what I was hoping for was what tactic is good verses that foe .... I unlocked Tesla, and that works for a bit, but I still usually loose due to the red Squares.

Early levels Strong (Red enemies) scale harder than Normal (Green) enemies. You will want to build more towers that are strong against them such as Sniper and Tesla.

Your goal early on should be to 3 star each level so you can progress further in research. Every level is infinite, meaning at some point you won't be able to hold anymore waves no matter how strong you are :)

I did not have Tesla at the time i posted, that is why I was having so many issues. Much better now i have them and they are upgraded. ..... I can not figure out how Gauss work, on a level where they have to kill 1.5 million .... 0 damage done, i don't think they are firing ..... any help?

For Gauss to fire it needs to be next to an active miner node.
I assume you are talking about level 6.2? If so, put it on the xp +200% square and activate the green miner, then level up accordingly.
You have to aim the Gauss manually by clicking the rotate button and pressing on the map where you want it to aim. Hope that helps.
