Tips and Strategies

Stage 1 No Escape Run Playthrough

Focus on building towers in the center

The two enemy pathways will begin converging into the center area, where you can place 5 towers to defend the first wave. Build combination of Cryo and Hydro Towers to freeze them in place, then build Pyro towers to deal massive damage! Using Electro Towers is also a great option, since it combines well with Cryo and Hydro towers.

Build towers on the side to prevent escapes

There's a chance that enemies might escape your towers in the center, which is why having extra towers on the side will take out anyone attempting to get away.
