Common Mistakes to Avoid

Based on my experience and community feedback, here are the most common mistakes players make:

1. Spreading Resources Too Thin

Focus on 3-5 units maximum rather than trying to upgrade everything.

2. Ignoring Unit Synergies

Don’t just stack individual strong units – consider how they work together.

3. Neglecting Support Units

Many players underestimate the value of proper support units.

4. Wrong Evolution Timing

Some units should be evolved immediately, others should wait.

5. Poor Positioning

Unit placement can make or break your success in harder content.

Advanced Strategies

Wave Management

Understanding wave patterns and enemy types is crucial for success:

Early Waves (1-20):

Focus on AoE damage units
Build economic foundation
Save resources for later waves

Mid Waves (21-50):

Introduce single-target specialists
Begin team composition optimization
Start using evolved units

Late Waves (51+):

Full meta team composition
Optimize positioning for specific enemies
Use all abilities strategically

Ability Timing

Mastering ability usage separates good players from great ones:

General Rules:

Save nuke abilities for boss enemies
Use defensive abilities before taking heavy damage
Chain abilities for maximum effect
Consider cooldown management
