Advanced Strategies
Master the endless mode meta and late-game strategies for maximum survival and progression.
Endless Mode Meta
Halt Minimally
Keep wave momentum by halting minimally. Only halt after completing at least 5 waves without stopping to ensure maximum cash efficiency.
Maximum Deployment
Deploy the maximum number of towers possible. Fill all available slots with upgraded AoE units for maximum DPS.
Gold Farming
Farm gold to unlock better units and classes. Focus on efficient gold generation through wave completion rather than halting.
Late-Game Unit Composition
By Wave 28+, the number of zombies becomes overwhelming. Your unit composition must be optimized for AoE damage.
- Lightning Cannon: Essential for massive splash damage
- Stone Launcher: High damage AoE, necessary for survival
- Lightning Tower: Excellent for handling multiple targets
- Cannon: High single-target damage for bosses
Splash Damage Optimization
Positioning
High-tier weapons like Lightning Cannon deal massive direct damage but have varying splash falloff. Position these units where they have a clear line of sight to the center of the track.
One-Shot Potential
Maximize "one-shot" potential on elite zombies by positioning AoE units strategically. Direct hits deal significantly more damage than splash.
AoE Coverage
Ensure your AoE units cover the maximum area possible. Overlapping coverage is ideal for handling massive hordes.
Structure Distraction
Zombies often prioritize buildings and units over the train's core Gem. Use this to your advantage.
- Place non-essential structures at the edge of your train car
- Use these structures to "bait" zombie attacks
- This buys your main damage-dealers more time
- Strategic placement can significantly improve survival
