How to play

Build your first tower
Tap a glowing foundation next to the road and raise a Wooden Tower. It costs 70 gold.
Start the wave
When your defense is ready, tap Start wave. The small icons under the button show which enemies are coming.
Call down Arrow Rain
Tap the Arrow Rain hero skill, then tap the road to strike every enemy in the area.
Upgrade and choose a branch
Tap a tower to upgrade it to Stone, then pick a branch: Fire archers set monsters ablaze, Frost archers slow them down.
Earn stars and merge
Fire and Frost towers earn up to 10 stars, and every star adds an arrow. Merge two towers: Fire + Fire = Phoenix, Frost + Frost = Glacier, Fire + Frost = Storm. At five stars a tower learns one of two special skills.

Tips & tricks

Win the opening
Hold waves 1 to 5 without losing a life for +100 gold and +10% damage on every tower for the rest of the map. Losing 4 or fewer lives still pays +40 gold.
Save Lightning Strike
Lightning Strike hits the four toughest enemies and pierces armor. Keep it for the big ones, like an Iron Legion of armored orcs.
Listen to your scouts
Scouts reveal the next wave's twist, such as a sky raid, a wolf stampede or witch fog. Plan your towers around it.
Ride the streak, mind the fury
Every clean wave in a row adds 12% to your wave bonus, up to 60%. But a long streak stirs horde fury: every enemy gets more health until the streak breaks.
Arrows can't reach the sky
Wyverns fly straight over the road to the castle, and Arrow Rain can't reach them. Your towers have to bring them down.

Know your foes

Shield Ogres: Their shields block small arrows. Burning arrows from Fire towers and Lightning Strike cut straight through.
Risen Skeletons: They get back up once. Phoenix blasts, Arrow Rain and Lightning Strike put them down for good.
Tide Wraiths: They fade out of reach now and then. Lightning Strike and Arrow Rain still find them, and a Beacon keeps them in sight.
Rune Giants: They shrug off frost, stun nearby towers and shield the foes beside them from fire. Burn the giants, freeze the rest.
Orc Warlord: An elite champion whose war banner makes nearby enemies take 40% less damage. Focus him down first.
