Every Building Type Explained
Let me tell you about all the buildings you can construct, organized by their purpose:
Defensive Walls
Walls are your first line of defense against enemies. Here's how each type compares:
Wooden Walls cost 50 coins and have 500 health points. They're the cheapest option and what you start with. Wood walls are fine for early waves but get destroyed easily later. Think of them as temporary protection while you save up for better walls.
Stone Walls cost 150 coins and have 1,500 health - that's triple the health of wooden walls! Stone is the sweet spot for most of the game. They're affordable enough to build lots of them, but strong enough to survive most attacks and disasters. Pro players build stone walls everywhere by wave 10-12.
Metal Walls cost 300 coins and have a whopping 3,000 health! These are twice as strong as stone and basically indestructible until very late game. The only downside is the high cost. Most players build metal walls only around their most important buildings like the core and generators.
Spike Traps cost 100 coins and have 300 health. These aren't walls exactly - they sit on the ground and damage enemies that walk over them. Each enemy that steps on spikes takes 50 damage per second! Spikes are great for slowing down enemies while your towers finish them off. Place spikes in pathways where lots of enemies walk!
Offensive Towers
Towers automatically shoot at enemies, and each type has different strengths:
Arrow Towers cost 200 coins. They shoot arrows at medium speed dealing medium damage with a range of 15 studs. Arrow towers are your basic starter tower - not fancy, but reliable. One arrow tower can handle 2-3 zombies easily. They're perfect for early waves when coins are tight.
Gun Towers cost 400 coins. They shoot bullets rapidly dealing high damage with a range of 20 studs. Gun towers are where the game gets serious! They cost twice as much as arrow towers but do way more than twice the damage. The fast firing rate makes them perfect against speedy enemies like spiders. Most expert bases have 5+ gun towers!
Cannon Towers cost 600 coins. They shoot explosive cannonballs that deal very high damage in an area of effect with a range of 25 studs! Cannons are amazing because each shot hits multiple enemies if they're grouped together. Place cannons near chokepoints where enemies bunch up, and watch one shot kill like five zombies at once! The explosion is so satisfying!
Tesla Towers cost 800 coins. They shoot lightning bolts that chain between enemies, dealing extreme damage with a range of 15 studs. Tesla towers are the ultimate tower! The lightning jumps from enemy to enemy, hitting up to 5 targets per shot! Plus, they can hit flying enemies that other towers struggle with. Tesla towers are expensive but worth every coin!
Economy Buildings
These buildings help you earn and store resources:
Generators cost 300 coins. Each generator produces 50 coins per minute automatically, and they can be upgraded 3 times! Level 2 generators make 75 coins per minute, and level 3 generators make 100 coins per minute! This is the most important building in the game. Every successful base has at least 3-4 generators. They pay for themselves in just 6 minutes, then it's pure profit forever!
Storage costs 200 coins. Each storage building increases your maximum resource capacity by 1,000. Without storage, you hit a coin limit and can't earn more. With storage, you can save up for really expensive purchases like metal walls or tesla towers. Build 2-3 storage buildings by mid-game so you're never capped!
The Core
Your Core is the building you start with and must protect at all costs! If the core gets destroyed, you lose! The core has 5,000 health by default but can be upgraded to have more. Smart players surround their core with multiple layers of walls and put their best towers nearby to protect it. The core is like your castle's throne - lose it and the game is over!
Complete Enemy Guide
Understanding your enemies helps you defeat them! Here's every enemy type:
Zombies have 100 health and move slowly. They're the most common enemy and appear in every wave. Zombies deal moderate damage if they reach your buildings. They're not individually scary, but they come in big groups! 2-3 arrow towers can handle a zombie group easily. Zombies are basically target practice to help you learn the game!
Spiders have 80 health and move fast! They're more dangerous than zombies despite having less health because their speed lets them reach your walls quickly. Spiders can also climb over short walls! Gun towers with rapid fire are perfect for spiders because you need to shoot fast-moving targets. By wave 8-10, spiders start appearing mixed with zombies.
Bats have only 50 health but they fly! Flying enemies completely ignore your walls and fly straight toward your core. This is why having tesla towers or other anti-air defense is crucial. Bats appear around wave 12-15 and catch many players by surprise. They're individually weak but deadly if you can't hit them! Always have 2+ tesla towers before flying enemies appear.
Boss Enemies have 5,000+ health and deal massive damage! These huge monsters appear every 5-10 waves and are seriously tough. You need multiple towers all shooting the boss at once to bring it down. Bosses move slowly, which gives your towers time to work, but if a boss reaches your walls, it can destroy them in seconds! When you defeat a boss, you usually get a big coin reward as a prize.
How Enemy Waves Work
The game's waves follow a predictable pattern that helps you prepare:
Waves 1-5 (Tutorial Phase): Only basic zombies appear in small groups. This is your learning phase where you figure out how buildings work. Honestly, you could probably survive these waves with just wooden walls and arrow towers. Use this time to build generators and prepare for harder waves!
Waves 6-15 (Variety Phase): Now it gets interesting! Zombies and spiders attack together in bigger groups. You need to upgrade from wooden to stone walls during this phase. Add more towers, especially gun towers for those spiders. Build extra generators so you have money for improvements!
Waves 16-25 (Challenge Phase): Flying enemies like bats join the attack! This is where many players fail if they don't have tesla towers. Make sure your walls are all stone or metal. You should have 4+ generators producing coins constantly. Start building cannon towers for area damage. Disasters like meteors and tornadoes also start appearing!
Waves 26+ (Extreme Phase): Welcome to the big leagues! Boss enemies appear more frequently. Enemies come in massive groups from multiple directions. Natural disasters happen almost every wave. Your base needs to be a fortress of metal walls, multiple tesla towers, and upgraded cannons. Only the strongest bases survive to wave 30+, and reaching wave 50 makes you a legend!
Natural Disasters Explained
After wave 10-15, Mother Nature joins the enemy team! Here are all the disasters:
Meteor Showers send flaming space rocks falling from the sky randomly! Each meteor that hits a building deals 500-1000 damage, which can destroy weaker structures instantly. Meteors are scary because you can't predict where they'll land. The strategy is spreading buildings out so one meteor can't hit multiple things, and keeping emergency coins ready for quick repairs.
Tornadoes are spinning wind storms that tear through your base destroying weak structures! Wooden buildings get destroyed by tornadoes almost instantly. Stone buildings take heavy damage but usually survive. Metal buildings resist tornadoes pretty well. Tornadoes have a path they follow, so sometimes you get lucky and it misses important stuff!
Lava Flows are streams of burning hot lava that flow across the ground burning everything they touch! Any wooden building hit by lava is instantly destroyed. Stone and metal buildings are completely immune to lava though! This is another reason why upgrading from wood to stone ASAP is so important. Lava usually flows from one side of the map toward the other.
Floods damage buildings at ground level with rushing water! Floods don't instantly destroy things but they weaken structures significantly. After a flood, make sure to repair damaged buildings before the next wave attacks!
Lightning Storms send electric bolts from the sky that specifically target electronic buildings like generators! Losing generators to lightning is devastating because your income drops dramatically. The solution is building multiple generators spread out - if lightning hits one, you have backups!
Earthquakes shake the entire map, damaging all buildings a little bit! Unlike other disasters that hit specific areas, earthquakes damage everything at once. The good news is they usually don't destroy things completely - they just weaken them. Quick repairs after an earthquake keep your defenses strong!
Game Mechanics You Need to Know
Let me explain how the game systems work:
The Wave Timer gives you 60 seconds between each wave to build and repair. Use EVERY SECOND! Don't waste time standing around. During this minute, enemies don't spawn, so you can safely build anywhere. When the timer reaches zero, the next wave begins immediately!
Resource Collection happens automatically! When enemies die, they drop coins that automatically get added to your total. You don't need to click anything - just watch your coin count go up! More dangerous enemies drop more coins. Bosses drop huge amounts!
Building Placement works by selecting a building from the menu then clicking where you want it! The game shows a green outline if you can build there, or red outline if something's blocking that spot. You can't place buildings too close together or overlapping. If you accidentally place something wrong, there's usually an option to destroy it and get some coins back!
Upgrades make existing buildings more powerful! Click on a building and look for an upgrade button. Generators can upgrade to produce more coins. Towers can upgrade to do more damage. Walls can upgrade to have more health. Upgrading is often smarter than building new things!
Damage Types matter against different enemies! Regular damage (arrows, bullets) works on everything. Explosive damage (cannons) hurts groups. Electric damage (tesla) chains between enemies. Flying enemies can only be hit by certain towers like teslas. Understanding this helps you choose the right towers!
Pro Strategies and Tips
Here's expert knowledge that helps you survive longer:
Economy First Rule: Always build 2-3 generators in your first few waves! I can't stress this enough. Generators are the foundation of every successful base. They pay for everything else!
Layered Defense means having multiple lines of protection. First layer is walls, second layer is traps, third layer is towers behind the walls. If enemies break through one layer, the next layer stops them! Single-layer defense fails in late game.
Resource Balance is maintaining steady income while spending on defense. A good rule is 40% coins on economy, 30% on defense, 30% on upgrades. Don't go all-in on one thing!
Material Progression follows this path: start with wood (waves 1-8), upgrade to stone (waves 9-20), upgrade to metal (waves 21+). Following this timeline means your base gets stronger as enemies get tougher!
Tower Positioning is super important! Place towers where their ranges overlap so enemies get shot by multiple towers. Put cannons near chokepoints where enemies bunch up. Put tesla towers in central locations where they can reach most areas!
