Where: Build โ–ธ Thunder Strike

๐Ÿฆด Bone Constructs Attack!

These undead constructs regenerate 8 HP every second โ€” they can outlast weaker towers! Deal 30+ damage in a SINGLE HIT to interrupt their regen for +15G interrupt kill. Fire mages counter them best: fire damage bypasses their physical resistance and deals burst hits that break regen!

Where: Fight โ–ธ Bone Constructs

๐ŸŒ€ Gravity Worms Burrowing In!

The biggest single-hit damage in the game!

Three elemental tiers: Cinder Wisp (80HP), Flame Stalker (160HP), and the massive Magma Titan (300HP)!

Perfect pairing with frontline area units!

Where: Build โ–ธ Phantom Strike

โณ Time Warp Pulse Online!

Chronomancers and Time Sages bend the fabric of time itself โ€” every 18 seconds they unleash a pulsing temporal distortion wave that covers a massive 3-tile radius, slowing ALL enemies inside by 50% for 2 full seconds! This is the largest slow radius in the game. Position them centrally on the path to maximize enemy coverage. During the slow window your other towers deal effectively double damage per second. Each pulse kill earns +12G time bonus!

Where: Build โ–ธ Time Warp Pulse

๐ŸงŸ Swamp Trolls โ€” They Keep Healing!

Swamp Trolls come equipped with legendary troll regeneration โ€” they heal 2% of their MAX HP every single second while alive! Leave them alive too long and weaker towers can't out-damage their regen. Fire Thrower units however completely neutralize troll biology โ€” the burning chemicals permanently disable regeneration on anything they hit. Each fire-killed troll earns +20G incineration bonus. Three variants: Bog Creeper (120HP), Marsh Bruiser (240HP), and the massive Swamp Titan (480HP)!
