Route

Use upgrade priority to solve one real in-game task.

Use upgrade priority to feed the lane that is cracking first, not the lane that already survives without help. You want each upgrade to buy one more clean wave.

  • 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.

  • Spend on the first broken lane before spreading coins around.
  • Use rewards on the slow task.
  • Check upgrade order again when enemies change.
