Missiles Beat Mortars - Rogue Tower

all right let's try and do double defense this is going to go poorly for me or it's actually going to be totally fine really depends on how this all shakes up but we got some new towers to play with and this should be easier oh look at that that's a good spawn if if i do say so myself all right let's go this way oh they're probably going the wrong direction and let's [Music] shoot i'm actually gonna go for the longbow upgrade right now that's the most powerful upgrade i could possibly get oh whoa they've changed things ballistas now consume a small amount of mana and gain plus three base damage [Music] but i'm actually gonna grab the obelisk which is uh extraordinarily expensive we're gonna demolish what is the range on this sucker pretty good so this is going to be kind of our our last ditch defense right there if we're lucky i really want to see if i can okay yeah that should be exactly what i need it to be i wish i could give it a little bit more range but uh die bliss is getting slow mortar i'm gonna grab the mortar mortars inherently are pretty dang good there we go playing rng since the water finds a uh oh hi finds a shrine this run yeah i hope so what i want are more uh more obelisk because though those things are really solid i really like this for the option of get uh for more interesting upgrade paths i don't mind it when towers get like a small bleed uh bleed amount or something like that but uh choosing things a little bit more intentionally like the mana towers uh feels a lot more exciting okay so i should probably start caring about this side because that's a little too short oh was that a new animation for something leveling up i think so let's grab the shells extend this a bit and get another mortar there we go okay so we need these to specifically focus on armor at the moment otherwise we're going to run into troubles there we go saw blade launcher would be nice but let's grab frag extend this there's health i'm just kind of kind of expands these out radar can't remember what it does it's like very very long range artillery i think i haven't actually built one yet i want to but they're a little expensive and so i was gonna give it some time before i get to it let's see damage shields damage to health let's just do damage to shields fire tower [Music] probably just gonna grab this for the time being okay and i'm gonna boost this a couple of times looks like obelisks really are anti-armor but this one i want to use for more than that oh you're right the mortars do have a red trail now oh that looks really nice oh right i should probably mention important kind of uh thing is that uh die of death has actually uh scaled up the uh or scaled up pushed up the release date for this game so instead of coming out on february 4th it is now february uh or not even february uh it's the end of this week it's coming out on friday so if any of you guys were kind of impatient and wanted to get access to this early well lucky you okay i don't think we're going to be able to go that far on this run this is looking a little scuffed in a bad way i mean this is not a bad run up this is giving me some confidence i was really hoping i could get the two to converge and maybe i still can if i'm lucky [Music] have there been any updates i think most of the updates are i'm not gonna call them minor but they're not um big huge yet keep going for that bleed damage oh boy i can tell he knows this is the house near the hq oh no i know about it oh the thing is houses don't pay out that much yet and what i was hoping to put is like the manage generators next to them instead maybe an obelisk on the big hill yeah i was thinking of that one here one here because frankly this obelisk here really isn't getting enough work let's keep going for the blast radius because those are good let's demolish this that should be nice and good we don't have enough money for the other one though i should be able to get enough fairly soon honestly the bleed mortars are doing the trick okay most health like i could almost potentially have two mortars here oh and they cast mana [Music] i should keep that in mind [Music] because i'd like to get another i'd like to get another mortar but i literally cannot afford it wow holy those just absolutely drain mana like nobody's business [Music] hey do we know the uh the price for this when it launches i actually haven't seen anything about a price yet unfortunately huh they didn't make it thank you mortars from the other side of the screen okay still none of these are mana related which is unfortunate um grab that i guess i need more mortars out here this armor is health right [Music] do slowest there we go um should be a bit better because this only has so much space around it i think i want to get a frost thing there another one out here yeah all that extra range is going to go really well your slowest slowest i got to get rid of those carts first okay current plane is 15 bucks seems more than fair to me expand that out a little because realistically i think every entrance spawns the same number of enemies so if this one only has so many then it's actually better to kind of leave this as is before it splits maybe it lovely obviously spread the defenses out a bit but this kind of works a little better maybe another mortar up here i could okay so it sure haunted things i need a tower radar sure [Music] oh boy okay most health do we want to just do armor and health again fire rate is hilariously slow though oh that's what it does so the airstrike it's not a bomber it's a plane okay i can get behind that as odd as it is [Music] oh he uses mana so we don't want that haunted house no cause we can't use that either ah i guess i'll just keep going longbow for the time being [Music] i'll just put that there okay so your armor you're just gonna be health [Music] that should be something okay there he is luckily he spawned from largely one of the farthest spots and oh those planes actually really do do rip him to shreds okay wow wow that's really effective actually extra damage armor extra damage to health uh let's start with armor i think okay i almost feel like i should get another one and give it anti-shields there we go just to kind of chunk some of that stuff off yep okay most shield is health and unfortunately your shield damage is bad let's buff that up okay it's a little a little nerve-wracking the first time shielded enemies show up because i'm never quite ready for them there we go the extra plane seem to be doing the trick though okay extra damage to it oh ah we got it we gotta grab the magic siphon [Music] because honestly getting obelisks down and giving them anti-magic capability should work really well what's the treasure chest in the lane uh you mean the houses there might be more that i don't know of by the obelisk oh well that's good to know uh oh that's intro interesting hmm i'm not sure about its placement there's the one thing i'd say you know i'm gonna put it right here okay and this is very much an anti-shield thing [Music] okay university tracers uh burn damage grab that we need some more madness iphones [Music] we are too damn low [Music] okay okay i want to be able to fund all of my big new expensive toys but they're pricey require additional pylons i really like those treasure chests those are a nice kind of change of pace uh-oh i think we might actually this hurt bad those little quick dudes i was not ready for them cannon does seem pretty good though okay uh mana bank no we gotta go frost bolts [Music] let's see set him to fastest because otherwise we're just going to end up with [Music] uh let's see we're just gonna end up with a lot of problems okay near death [Music] i'm out and i'm out of juice it's fine fastest and let's get one more mana siphon there we go uh oh those little zippy dudes are a problem and the only thing i'm a little bit disappointed with with the radar was i was expecting it to be an aoe uh and it is very clearly more of kind of a single target deal can't complain too much wow they really do just wipe the floor with this side and then i just don't have to think about it okay what else do we get honestly mortar you're just going for shield and then most health tesla coil longbow let's see he shells three which is good we're spreading out maybe a little too hard here i could also go for the uh the mine but i think i'm just gonna focus on the ballistas instead oh that's not that's good to know they have to be on the same same layer i think i might be in trouble yeah didn't work it's fine they are an aoe it's just a very small one recommend mines i honestly don't have a very good experience with the mines much to my chagrin okay bit of a shorter run that i wanted but dual lanes is going to get kind of dicey anyway um i think what we do is we start by upgrading our ballistas and our mortars those are by and far some of the best across the board oh all towers getting additional plus one damage to armor that's actually really good huh i that's that's neat i didn't know about that okay so we're gonna do point of uh double defense what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna just go until we beat this one way or another i really want to play this really really want to be playing this right well uh it comes out comes out in a couple of days so it shouldn't hopefully it shouldn't be too bad of a wait the list is there we go mortars mortars mortars this early sure okay this is promising hmm go frostbolts because those are good yeah i'm just gonna cover this area in ballistas [Music] that one got through whatever last radius then we're gonna squander all of our money just filling these out well i gotta say layout wise this is a little bit more promising than the last run if only because none of them have split yet and they're wrapping around kind of this central base which i can very much use to my advantage i'm gonna grab the mana bank even if i can't use it at the moment what about the two houses at the bottom um honestly this is probably where i'm gonna put the mana bank just because we're just gain range damage to health poison go on the he shells still has not split yet that's a good sign also these are plus three range yes okay let's go back to setting their priorities actually no you should be slowest there we go let's go longbow [Music] there we go next one don't have enough money what's the significance of putting ballistas by houses so it it doesn't have to be ballistics but effectively uh every house gives you money based on how many uh towers are currently surrounding it um so in this case uh this house for example is surrounded by three uh the formula is level times number of towers i think uh go for the bleep damage go for the bleed damage i like the frost boats bolts i like the other stuff uh okay don't exactly remember the formula yeah so it's next gift will be 32 gold uh because it's next level is going to be level eight so it's eight times four uh so eight times two eight times one currently nothing here and so the money scales up as you go along which actually makes a really really good income um i can't even get the mortar it's fine that's yeah so it makes a really good income uh especially as you get kind of later on and also most houses are placed relatively advantageously so the the slight waste of putting like extra towers near them is still 100 worth it game actually looks pretty good it is so good um i'm actually gonna grab bleed them dry [Music] there you go yeah no split yet which means split now no we should probably get another one over here at some point though honestly once we get the mortar bonus range it shouldn't be too bad all right uh let's see so that's pretty good but i i think let's go for long range ballistics keep expanding god if i can get this to loop back on itself it's going to be obscene the too bad the lanes didn't spill around would be awesome i you never know this could go just straight this way and then here and this could go i i still almost kind of wish that it gave you multiple uh configurations so you can customize it more but i also feel like it'd be very easy to cheese to my advantage i love mortars yeah ah there's the split it was bound to happen eventually here's the thing though more mortars more waters there we go okay what do we want next damaged armor particle cannon particle cannon is really good against shields kind of but so is the poison sprayer let's grab the let's grab the poison sprayer cause those go really far okay what level 15 yup oh my god look at the range on those things we should probably start expanding this direction too do i have the extra no i don't have the full blast radius upgrade but still i love those red trails it looks wild i wonder if it's gonna mix in different colors uh based on what status effects it does later [Music] okay damage to shields burn damage poison sprayers extra range on long bows um i'm gonna focus on the range for the for those a little okay get a mana bank down get a poison sprayer that's pretty good range just start getting some of those out okay so you should be most shield followed by most health yeah they're an upgrade they aren't there at the start of the round oh i'm i'm well aware uh let's see do i want to put it here here gives it just a little bit of extra range you should once again be most shield followed by most health there we go uh tower shredder they're expensive suckers but they are worth it i don't have enough juice it's fine expand this that hasn't split either do this [Music] and this should always be progress okay and kind of same deal out here we have a good level three no we don't so this area needs a little bit of a little bit of work but it should be fine shutters the tower so they can cover both sides um wait that tower oh you mean the central one [Music] okay maximum bleed damage further honestly i'm actually gonna grab mana bolts at this point we should be able to afford it there we go nope all right and then just fling this here so the reason why i want to have the shredder here is so it passes through uh so it doesn't go down dud paths is kind of the main point because i want it to pass through as many enemies as it possibly can [Music] okay should be fine and we do have the we do have the slow on the yes yes i really should probably invest pretty hard in in bleed damage over time because it looks like we are already stacking up way more bleed than normal or way more bleed than we can possibly pay out on a run okay so obelisk is good very expensive but doable if i want to shred armor off of things let's do it okay it's arranged perfect okay so you're going to be most armor followed by most health and then the other side is just going to have to deal with it a little oh that's another split and this is why i wanted to put this back here a little bit because if i put it here the uh the saw blade would have a very high chance of just kind of ending up where i don't want it to be oh houses don't pay oh you're right houses don't pay for mana banks that's unfortunate i mean it actually makes plenty of sense is just unfortunate let's see because we're inevitably gonna end up hitting those guys no matter what i do in that case i guess i should start getting the blisters down and yeah we'll just surround these either with ballistas or more mortars i'll have to think about that one uh let's see let's go for bleed them dry i'd like some of the other things but that one's the most useful a and treasure chest which i should probably look at uh let's grab sorcery and longbow how many treasure chests did i just end up with what happened there was like four treasure chests there okay [Music] that might be glitched out i'm not looking that gift horse in the mouth it can keep its secrets i know boss prize but that seemed uh a little bit specifically too useful for me but yeah if it was a glitch then i accept it happily yeah that's the way to look at it i'm glad that we're getting the treasure chest actually those are it's a nice design choice probably expand this a little further so i can find a good spot to put my sprayers but especially my obelisks not a glitch oogie's just bad at counting [Music] right these things have a lot of shields [Music] the wild part is i almost am going to bet that the uh the stupid obelisks are gonna end up being better anti-shield than uh than the poison sprayers okay let's grab incendiary rounds just keep the status effects going uh mean there's so few dudes that spawn up top maybe i shouldn't worry about it right and we should make sure each one of these guys is focused on the fastest just in case because we want to make sure they cannot progress at least those things are getting posted what is the range on these things absurdly long i love it okay so far so good i feel like i should keep expanding that but at some point it's gonna split then i'm gonna have to get then i'm gonna have to care more let's see [Music] let's kind of work on the obelisk for the time being what do i want to do i don't know i don't wanna know how i wanna do any of these this area is just kind of dicey profitable for sure [Music] okay [Music] honestly i'm actually going to demolish that i think this area needs its own set of mortars [Music] just kind of aim for shields i think it doesn't need too many because these guys seem to more or less clear everything else out anyway so i don't need to worry too much not quite the same okay well if i could close loop a lot of these i'd be a happy camper as well but oh it's just one dude over there don't want to try this the tesla coil [Music] i would love to but i i think it would be better for me to probably focus on what i've got first does that happen close loop yeah it turns it into a portal uh which isn't really that bad but i prefer to keep most of my enemies kind of i don't want to say necessarily limited with how they approach me okay this is actually a little concerning those little zippy dudes are kind of rough i guess here's my easy answer i'm just gonna get a couple of these that specifically shoot for fastest oh wait but maybe not there we probably want to put them along this this route here [Music] i got tons of money too so the entire point of this is effectively just a uh a speed break so that my obelisks and my um my poison sprayer can have the the best opportunity to chunk them down mostly for the little dudes let's see zippy guys come from dead units yeah wouldn't surprise me [Music] six level four okay so the poison spray is actually doing decently well um no there's a little zippy dudes okay he's gonna get another mortar that aims mostly for shields and then over here let's get a second one the poison stacks are running out just a smidge there we go [Music] maybe shrines only spawn when you have the universities i think they just got a one in three once we get hell town we just don't have hell town uh mortars gain crit chance yeah okay you guys are set for most armor and health yeah yeah okay oh my mana really is getting deleted that's a problem let's fix that aggressively okay do we want to have i could invest a little further here but i don't i don't know i think it's mostly fine and these are kicking ass perfect man is good could work on probably make them suffer because that increases the amount of uh status effect damage that we can do yeah i want to extend this here specifically so it kind of loops back give these towers something to do while we wait let's see what else do we want to do honestly maybe maybe another shredder there we go so that way that'll just kind of extend down the entire thing kind of wall of them i'm not really using too many saw blades here i don't they're decently good there we go what else should i do probably planes i think planes would be a kind of nice backup especially ones focused on probably progress more than anything else i will stoop lee damage which is kind of nice [Music] blisters do damage armor hmm i guess i might as well do the bleed damage on the obelisk all the same i don't think that's actually that helpful tragically oh here i'm gonna sell this it didn't get very high so i can put that up here possibly with an another obelisk there we go that way they can we can have kind of a little slowing area and then an area to shred them to bits let's see there's a lot different last time i saw it did you want to grind nope nope what you see is what you get i don't do a whole lot of off-camera grinding especially for roguelikes it's not particularly practical uh hmm these are tough i think we're gonna grab eviscerate oh shoot one of those was monster studies well this is working out better than i thought it would this area is still kind of heck and i don't like it as much but it's fine anything what i'd probably want to do is get like another one of these [Music] just to kind of nuke them down yeah it's working i might want to invest more into the poison sprayer there we go that'll make it more effective across the board as this area doing honestly it's kind of baffling me that this area is not more in more trouble because i've been pretty much ignoring its existence this entire time i'd melt that shield off if you can it's working so does haunted house give him gold based on graves only the ones that it's next to she's not quite as practical as i'd like it to be all towers gain plus one damage to health we should grab monster studies baseline incredibly good oh is it gonna loop back again also new chest is true well a little bit more than one i don't think it's supposed to give me the expand button here oh and you're right that's an occult shrine we can get universities finally well we've picked up some kind of bug remains to be seen whether or not it's going to be actually problematic or not also thank you niko for the four months resub thanks so much it's usable or no let's find out it looks like it just starts the next wave problem is i did not actually get my card for that so it's not real uh it's super not worth it it's an odd bug it's not really a big deal but bit of a shame that i didn't get the upgrade i'll live it's uh karmic justice okay here's the thing i think at this point now we just get mortars of plenty here and set them to most health there we go that'll keep them off and top path is getting closer i should probably start paying some attention to it okay [Music] flame tower emp [Music] otherwise tesla coil let's um let's give the tesla coil a shot let's probably expand that [Music] i'm gonna turn it into a monster [Music] same thing with you to a lesser degree all right there we go [Music] what are these guys doing [Music] a little bit spookier also uh the trails on the mortars yes they do actually visibly change now they've got orange and red which looks even cooler [Music] your range not nearly close enough uh university for sure put that there [Music] shield most health there we go [Music] and university there it is okay place university to learn what it holds okay oh [Music] question can i have multiple i know i've got tons of money so let's just go really hard on science here i see that's not another one let's expand here because that's got to get expanded [Music] [Music] need more mana yeah [Music] okay it's expensive [Music] okay that gap is a little bit of a concern all right i think that's enough at least for now oh they're keeping them off now uh i'd say this area is a concern but really it's just we have to wait for the mortars to come to bear let's see breakthrough all towers gain crit chance or no we gotta go for the mortars one first then i'm just gonna get a bunch of ballistas to slow things down oops i should probably also you know finish surrounding the towers here [Music] okay there we go fastest would be kind of nice if you could actually set um tower priorities based on no that wouldn't be that helpful run fastest yeah all right there there we go [Music] all right please don't split please keep coming all right it's split but i might be able to bring this back huh [Music] so it doesn't seem like universities normally do anything i have to fund it [Music] okay whoa uh that's a problem rockets funding increases the chances of the university learning something all right so unfortunately rockets are bad i will have to keep th that in mind okay max these out so these yeah they are all all all towers gain that bonus that's actually really good to know see look out particle cannon and the obelisk very clearly was pretty worthwhile what do i want to do because i've got a decent chunk of money i could go for shredders max that out we um could also go for the poison sprayer because historically they seem to be pretty damn good i don't i don't know i will be right back and we'll figure it out you
