Quick notes

Choose the hero before the loadout. War Mage and Sorceress have different available tools and combat styles.
Assign co-op responsibilities. One player can manage a heavy ground lane while the other handles flyers or another doorway.
Treat special enemies as priorities. Sappers threaten the layout itself, flyers evade floor traps and heavy enemies absorb sustained damage.
Keep the sequel roster separate. Later Orcs Must Die games add heroes, traps and progression systems.

Assign co-op responsibilities
