Poison damage stacks up and ignores the monster’s armor.If the game seems to lag, you can decrease the rendering quality in the options screen.swapping or combining multiple gems, it’s better to decrease the game speed to normal. If you need some micromanagement, e.g.Click on a monster to view info about it.create armor reducing (purple) and shocking (cyan) gems, combine them up to grade 2 or 3 and place them in most of the towers. You have to build at least 8-10 towers, and many trenches. After the first laps its armor should be reduced enough for your power gems to damage it. Your massive mana reserve makes the epic boss run 4 or even more laps before killing you.

Of course build your defenses up, with many towers and trenches, shocking and armor reducing gems. Increase your max mana with the mana pool spell, until you have 20-30-40k max mana (depends on which level you are playing, the later the level the higher max mana you need) and fill it up (don’t buy anything during the last 5-6 waves, only additional mana pool spells if you reach the max mana). This way you can give these gems something to fire at every time. Swap your power gems to those towers that have the best sight on the monsters. Make one or two gems as high grade as possible (on longer levels you can make it a grade 8 or two grade 7 gems, or maybe higher).Ĭover the path with towers, making 3-4 smaller strong points. Placing 4 towers and 10 water trenches in a small area can give the monsters a very hard time getting through. place your trenches near your towers, so they will give your towers a better chance to halt the advancing monsters.

Place your towers so that each of them covers the longest path possible. See the special tactics below, they can help as well. If you have unlocked a hidden level, don’t try it until you have the pure gem mastery skill. To see how many points you have to level up, roll over the info panel at the bottom left on the world map, or go into the statistics screen. This increases your grand total and possibly levels you up. Play former levels again to get a higher score. If you have just reached a new powerful skill, don’t hesitate to put many points in it, even if it means you will have less points to spare on your previous skills. Redistributing your skill points can help a lot. What to do when you face a level which seems to be unbeatable Reaching the glowing frame score on many levels can unlock hidden stages. Ideally press it 10 or more times at the beggining of the level. build 10 towers, throw many gem bombs, create and combine many gems.Ĭlick the topmost wave stone every time you feel you can handle the mass of monsters coming. For most of the levels, you can do it even on a lower wizard level. If you are at wizard level 40, you have a very good chance to get the glowing frame score on every levels. Combine them until you reach a grade high enough to damage the monsters, and use them when the situation looks grim. The rest of the gems can be useful to make gem bombs. Combine them if you want and place them into your towers.

This gives you many random gems, hopefully including a few of the type you need. Make multiple gems with one click (press the create gem spell, then hold the Ctrl key and press an inventory slot).
