Spawner Towers

• There are now 5 spawner towers:

  • The Zed
  • The Commander
  • The Operator (considered a spawner by majority poll)

Solo Play Strategy

• Map chosen: Highrise (longest map with many curves).
  • Sky Island: Rejected for being too small and short; spawners easily destroyed by boss.
• Starting with the Operator to manage early game disposalists.
  • Utilize bottom path for Humvees.
• Early game goal: Save up for an M Wrap to deal AOE damage.
  • Berics not effective early on.

Mid-game Strategy

• Wave 10:
  • Using M Wrap to manage AOE damage.
  • M Wrap has reduced DPS but still effective.
• Focus on upgrading farms and acquiring M Wraps.
  • Aim for three M Wraps before diversifying.

Introduction of Zed Towers

• Deploy Zed towers without upgrading initially; get all six down.
• Early Zed stats: 500 health, 30 DPS for 3000 cost.
• Delay upgrading to maximize early game value.

Dealing with Increased Difficulty

• Address disposalists and hordes by balancing Zed and Abam deployments.
• Montage of dealing with hordes and minor breaks during gameplay.

Boss Fights

• Wave 25: Approaching boss with nearly maxed-out Zed.
  • Focus strategy on containing plague guardians and doctors.
  • Level 5 Zed deployment crucial (350 DPS to 2500 DPS).
• Strategy for revived plague doctor and avoiding damage.
  • Use of commander airstrikes for specters.

Advanced Waves

• Progression of waves focusing on maintaining upgraded defenses (Zeds, M Wraps, etc.).
• Strategy shift to selling and upgrading Zeds all at once.

Endgame Tactics

• Utilization of operators as meat shields and strategic bait.
• Constant micromanagement and adjusting deployments:
  • Focus on placing secondary operators as distractions.
  • Dealing with multiple spawned enemies and Eradicator Mk. 1+.

Challenges Faced

• Learning curves with different enemy mechanics and healing.
  • Eradicator's regeneration posed significant challenge.
• Resource management and real-time strategic adjustments.
