Crumbling City Wave Guide


Wave 1: Place Whirlpool Devices Down

1 Wave 1 Tips and Recommendations

This stage introduces enemies with Shields protecting their HP Bar. To counteract this, make use of the newly-acquired Whirlpool Device that can remove said shields. Start setting up close to the entrance of the track.
2
Place two Whirlpool Devices close to the enemy spawn point. These will remove the shields off of any TD that gets caught in their activation, allowing you to deal damage directly to their HP.
3
Then, put down some Tacetite Spikes and Barrages past the Whirlpool Devices to deal damage to the now-shieldless enemies.

Wave 2: Add to Your Defenses

1 Wave 2 Tips and Recommendations

Once you have more funds from the prior wave, add more Tacetite Spikes and Tacetite Barrages further down the lane to improve your defenses.

Wave 3: Fight With the Speed Shooter

1 Wave 3 Tips and Recommendations

Add another set of Whirlpool Devices closer to the start of the track to deal with the increasing amounts of shielded enemies.
2
Don't forget to use the Speed Shooter to help take out enemies. It can hit targets trapped by the Whirlpool Device, creating a particularly effective combo to trap and damage enemies.
