Route

Use units to solve one real in-game task.

Judge units by the lane they save: keep the ones that stop leaks, and bench the ones that only look good on easy waves. Every unit choice should answer a real board problem.

Roll until the wave is stable.
Place until the wave is stable.
Defend until the wave is stable.
Upgrade until the wave is stable.

Next choice

A good route tells you what to skip.

Skip unrelated buttons until the lane, missile, or wave that breaks first improves. If the run improves, keep the route; if not, return to the advanced decision tree.

Swap one unit job at a time so the weak lane is obvious.
Use rewards on the slow task.
Test unit jobs again after balance patches.

Should I buy anything before the first run?

Play the free loop first, then compare passes only when they solve the lane, missile, or wave that breaks first.
