Plenty of other good perks, but they're more situational. The mage perks are almost always good choices for all type of heroes. Because of the above, getting extra max mana is pretty valuable. An attack like triple strike doesn't need to hit 7 enemies to be worth it, if you kill 3 it can already be useful. Don't be afraid to spam triple strike, flamethrower, lightning strike. If you took defence damage but still had mana at the end of the night then it's likely you didn't play optimally. Don't be afraid to use mana intensive spells and scrolls. So if you can consistently get to the final night in gildenberg then that's pretty good already. I also probably realized too late that consumables refill every night, so might be a good idea to outfit everyone with mana potions and some aoe scrolls.įirst of all, I think the first map is just as difficult as the second map, especially since you (if I remember correctly) don't have access to the Inn yet. My dudes are never in danger, but I just can't seem to keep up with my damage output. Got any tips? I'm on run 10 on the first map (Gildenberg), I can survive up until the last night but then I get quickly overrun, since on the night before I usually lose a good chunk of my buildings and defences.

Some weapons are good in almost all situations and really encourage you to take the specialised perk (like the pistol), some are the complete opposite and need a partner weapon (like the spear and the sword). My only fear now is that the game could be getting easier (due to unlocks) faster than I can make it more difficult (due to unlocking acopalypse levels) - but I still have plenty of 'oh, poo poo, I'm going to lose' moments and the game is by no means too easy.įiguring out weapon combinations is indeed extremely important. Managed to win in each of the 3 maps in a total of 5 attempts, now tackling acopalypse 1 in Lakeburg.īefore buying i was afraid of the grindyness, but that hasn't been a problem at all: I've never had the impression that I needed to grind for some unlock in order to continue. It's such a neat concept and gameplay loop. Yeah, I also ended up getting it during the sales and honestly I'm completely in love.
