🛡️ Recommended Clear Composition
🌊 Wave-by-Wave Tactical Roadmap
Waves 1–4
Threat: Early swarming ground goblins and vermin.
Tactical Response:
Open 100g Basic Packs immediately. Place Squires in front to absorb melee hits and Barbarians behind to cleave.
Common Pitfall: Hoarding Gold early instead of building card stars.
Waves 5–7
Threat: Airborne bat swarms and flying monsters.
Tactical Response:
Crucial turning point: Squires and Barbarians CANNOT hit flying units. You must recruit Bowman (9% drop in Basic Pack) and prioritize the Trickshot Bounce mastery upgrade.
Common Pitfall: Having no ranged units deployed; flying bats will fly straight over melee units and damage the barricade.
Waves 8–10
Threat: Armored ground commanders and the Chapter 1 Flying Boss.
Tactical Response:
Hold the Fireball spell until the boss lands near your barricade to wipe accompanying ground minions simultaneously.
Common Pitfall: Firing spells blindly while the boss is airborne and out of blast range.
