Quick notes

  • Start with a self-sufficient builder. Apprentice and Squire provide direct towers and blockades that make the opening campaign easier to read.
  • Combine heroes during preparation. The original game allows changing heroes during the build phase through the forge.
  • Give the active hero a purpose. During combat, repair threatened defenses, remove dangerous enemies and intercept leaks.
  • Separate DLC heroes from the starting four. Series EV, Summoner, Barbarian and other additional heroes change available strategies.
