Using overpowered Obelisk Lasers to defend my tower!

hello fellow engineers and welcome back to rogue tower by the way if you can hear slurping in the background i do apologize paddy's decided to lick his um well you can guess why he's licking he's cleaning he says he says he's cleaning himself anyway after the last video i got a lot of comments and i mean a lot of comments telling me exactly where i was going wrong and how i've misunderstood some of the things in the game so let's quickly buy some upgrades and then i'll tell you exactly where i went wrong so we're going to spend 100 xp on this one which allows us to draw a card every round rather than every other that will help massively and then the rest on obelisk upgrades because we haven't used it yet and i really want to see what it's like oh this gives it bleed damage i don't think it actually has bleed damage usually so we'll take that and poison damage okay so now it does all the elemental damages because it usually does fire and i've also seen this one here i've heard that this tower uses a loss of mana so i think we'll reduce that by 20 several times but these only work if you get the card remember so let's get into single defense our record is level 35 can we beat it with the obelisk so first things first people said i really need to take advantage of the houses so any ballistas they will go next to houses that will give us some extra money and because it's the end of a round we've got new cards straight away awesome now i literally think the shredder is probably the best tower ever so we're gonna grab one of them and we're gonna shove one on there and this is what i learned big time actually but do you remember in the first episode i said these plus ones and plus twos they give you extra damage and then the second episode i was like no i was wrong i was an idiot they actually give you extra range well turns out i was right both times or i was wrong both times they actually give you both so if we take the shredder and put it there you can see base damage is 10 and then with the multipliers to health armor and shield they are the damages if we place another one up here on plus two you can see not only the range increases look at the size of that circle look at the size of this circle we've even got a range six there because this original one was five but the damage is 200 100 100 look 240 120 120 so we do want to use the high towers as well so i'm gonna shove a shredder there because i do want the extra range going that way and then maybe another ballista on that one and we'll expand oh and look up here so that shredder annihilated them and then we got more towers i think i probably i either want to go for the bloody one or maybe i'll go for the mana siphon because if we're aiming for obelisks i've been told they proper eat through the mana and then if we want to mine mana which is sort of our magic power you can see this bar up here this is how much man we have this is how much we're making so every one of these we put down which costs a hundred gold we get an extra plus one a second they will completely surround that crystal and i'll shove a ballista on this plus three one and then we'll expand we're good to go i'm gonna shove another blister on that one and then oh i love the saw all right so we've got more weapons to unlock or we can just improve our shredder i'll tell you what i'm going to go for the encampment just because i need to redeem myself for last episode so i'm incorrect usage all right we've expanded quite a bit i'm actually going to move this and shove it on here so shredder you're now up there spacey you do want this to get the clumps and i think that location is the best because they're gonna come from these two areas oh god but look it just rips through them and it makes them bleed which means they're taking constant damage lovely oh look at this so we finally unlocked the obelisk although annoyingly banditry is very very good because enemies drop an extra two gold on death although they do do one extra damage to the tower but i think we need the obelisk that is the whole point of this run so obelisk is done let's expand that direction and then we'll watch our saw do most of the damage at this it's so brutal i love it you may have noticed as well up here i've got i've got this i can fast forward this is a mod but it's so good because the game doesn't have fast forward in the normal game so really really pleased that models have added that just quality of life it means recordings don't take like three hours per episode now so thank you whoever created that i unfortunately can't afford an obelisk yet but i will upgrade it i'll do shield damage for now and look there's loads of crystals about so this is quite a good map for doing it i think look at the saw it's so good so this saw is set up to target the progress because basically wherever it lands it then soars backwards so as long as it saws this front person everyone behind it should get sword and now we have enough gold to unlock the obelisk we could put it up there do some earlyish damage i think that's good for a plus three the area is huge love that so you can see base damage 11 the main thing this does is armor so if we change the target priority to most armor then we're making the most use of that and that is something one of the commenters told me which i think is very very useful actually the other thing i'm going to do as well i might actually move this shredder to be next to that house uh two reasons one it allows us to shoot up there a little bit but it will level up and as we know the house will give us extra money as we level up and this was the other thing i did wrong so the house description is every level this house will pay every adjacent tower defending it gold equal to the current level and i thought that meant just the level of the tower so level one i thought this would just be getting us one extra gold per round but if you look its next gift will be eight gold that's because we'll be on level eight so ideally you want to be surrounding our towers because that's quite a bit of extra money anyway let's expand that direction oh look at the obelisk look at the obelisk it is rinsing the marley like we only have one but it sure is doing the damage oh man it's eating three people a little bit worried this end let's um shove a tower up there just to save our life shoot him shoot oh my god we lost a life idiot towers idiot anyway next up i think we'll just increase our poison even though we're not poisoning yet yes i do realize that then we'll expand again on it's split into two directions that's horrible this is a really we need some like area damage going on although check out the sword it's gonna rip through these people i only just got those last ones if it can shoot now come on come on nice all right so good right we probably do need some more towers at the back though let's plonk a load of ballistas down i can afford one more come on okay next up do we want to add burn damage to our obelisk that could be very good or do we want the frost keep i think we're just gonna keep upgrading the obelisk so that's gonna make them burn if i demolish these towers hopefully i can afford another shredder i'll put that one next to the house as well so hopefully down here they'll get absolutely annihilated and yes they did right so the other thing i sort of messed up last game do you remember i was like really excited because we're doing like 12 000 burn damage 6 000 lead damage and i thought we were doing that a second i thought like the bosses just had really high health oh no that was like stacked up damage over time so if you look at these kill them with fire we can increase maximum burn a second from 26 to 50. so basically the damage we're doing that 12 000 damage was basically spread out over time and we don't have enough time to ever do that damage because the level isn't that long hence it's not really worth stacking like the flamethrowers the poison towers but it is worth upgrading i'm probably going to go with the bleed one for now just because we have the shredders we've done that we'll expand that direction i'm not liking this map it's split up into so many different directions i really need some area effect going on but our double shredders they should do some damage although the sores why did you go that way why couldn't you've gone the other way oh there we go there we go that did some stuff go on hit one more time come on nice and now we'll upgrade our obelisk to be a disease ray so they'll do poison damage as well nice and also it's probably worth upgrading some of these so the obelisk we can spend money to upgrade now arm is probably the best bet because that's what we're focusing on so i think that will do for now these ones do a bit of health but mainly i want to save up for another obelisk which probably means i need another mana siphon or two we've got a couple of crystals free let's expand again we're now at the level where we've got the pile of logs you can see it's burning and it's poisoned but our tower always shoots the one with the most shields right so you can see now our obelisk is completely run out of mana so it's only doing like burst shots uh not ideal it means that we definitely need more mana siphons i'm also going to select banditry this time so let's grab minus siphons there's no point putting another obelisk down until we can afford it we're basically going to completely surround all these crystals so now we're making 13 mana a second and we've got enough money for a shredder so we'll shove that probably on that hill and i'll hope it shoots up that way nice the obelisk is still run out of mono again man it does chew through the mana that's insane oh we need more crystals we need more crystals all right there is still a pile of logs here so let's shove down loads more towers ah take them out take them out more towers there we go uh we'll take banditry again that's more money so we can upgrade quicker i'm then actually gonna delete a lot of these towers and we're gonna place an encampment down actually as they're cheap i'm gonna surround these houses with ballistas ah slightly too many i'm one gold shorts of the encampment it's 500 we've got 499 so i will delete one of them so last time the encampment this drops landmines everywhere i put this at the start so i thought the area effect would be good in groups but it's actually better way at the back so if we shove it there for example it's now got time to lay the mines and it'll be laying lots and lots i did actually want to try something with that so let's expand i don't know that direction oh no another three-way what is going on anyway the obelisk seems really good at taking out the stack of logs now you see it proper rips through their armor and then it just allows them to burn and poison themselves to death yeah down here the encampment laying out loads of landmines so if anything does get close it should be able to rip through them and then all these people they'll run into the mines and get blown up lovely all right and i feel like we probably need a different tower with some area damage so i'm going to unlock the mortar and they only cost 200 we've got 1200 coins so we can go quite crazy with these i think as everything's got to pass through around here it's probably worth just surrounding these towers all right now if we want to think tactically we've got to cover health armor and shields and i'm pretty sure these work in like the reverse order so enemies have shields you can't really do damage to armor and health until the shield is gone and likewise you can't do damage to health until the armor's gone so currently our obelisk is doing armor damage but not really shield damage the mortars definitely don't do shield damage and the shredders don't either so we've just spent a load of money on the shield multiplier so hopefully that should help us somewhat right let's expand again oh look it's the oogie level will he get past our obelisk vote that is the question right mortar's going crazy doing the area damage i should probably change their priority to most health but obelisk is ruining those guys and now he's on to oogie he's getting mulled we may need something to help though let's get another obelisk up there we can just about afford it we are doing the damage the mana is sort of sitting even we're not going to run out and yeah so these numbers on here they're not the damage per second that's like the damage added up so we'll only do that much damage if he lasts long enough without finishing the level obviously if oogie gets to our tower it's game over nice that went pretty well let's pick an upgrade oh we wanted to do more shield damage so let's do emp on our mortars they'll do plus one damage to shields and then hidden behind here where we killed oogie we've got a few treasure chests to unlock so let's take a poison sprayer we can probably put them at the very start of the level because the earlier we poison things the better uh then we'll increase our poison damage as well so that will help with our poison towers so we've got 500 coins let's grab a poison sprayer i think if we expand this we'll shove a poison sprayer up there then remaining money will surround this crystal that's very useful quite nice dual obelisks are working quite well i'm a bit worried about my mana but uh hopefully we can fix that a bit later these guys are hench as anything they've got armor i think but they are getting they are getting mullet actually although obelisk has no mana remaining not ideal but nice i tell you what i might do banditry again that's another two gold we've got to be very careful though because if enemies get through they're going to be doing a lot of damage to our tower then with our money i think it's probably worth investing in some shredders so i might shove one there next to that house i'll tell you what i'm just gonna i'm gonna surround these houses in ballistas as well just to give us some money might not be the wisest investment because we do need some more damage the level's getting pretty big but i will see let's expand that direction oh another minor crystal we will take that it will spend the 400 coins surrounding that no only 300 coins all right so meanwhile down here how we getting on the obelisk is doing well it's rinsing the mana though we got these tough ones again we really need some armor damage i'll tell you what i might put a ballista up here and upgrade the armor multiplier so yeah that's proper getting through him he's about to run into a mine no he didn't make it oh god they are getting close they are getting close let's keep doing shield damage come on ballista fire right they're going through the mines i'm a bit worried about this last one i think it's okay though there's a lot of mines in front of him and he's down all right so we've pretty much done another level we got a lot of gold we are reiki in the gold at the moment let's just speed this up and finish that so it may be time to try and increase our man again uh we can use sorcery it's more of a late game thing because it regenerates one percent of your max mana per second and our maxima is only 180 so it's not gonna do a lot but we can increase that if we unlock mana banks so we may as well grab it but i think we're just gonna have to not focus on the mana too much right let's shove some shredders yeah along this ridge and another one up there we can't quite afford that okay we'll do ballistas up there i think we need to start doing early damage so oh things are trying to sneak through now it might be worth shoving an encampment back here just because that's even more mines all right come on shield damage okay this is working quite well amana's sort of been okay yet it was pretty low 25 but it wasn't zero oh let's take this one make them suffer increase max bleed burn and poison by plus 40 a second nice and then gonna put a shredder up there and then we'll expand that direction and i'll probably put a poison sprayer near the start of this one so there that will poison those nice and easily and then we can spend our remaining on mana siphons because look they have proper run out they're on zero oh dear the obelisks are great though we've got enough money for another one nearly i could put one at the start of the level then i feel like these later ones will just have zero mana i've just upgraded the obelisk i think we're going to expand this direction just so we can put another ballista next to that house all right the mana is not good the situation's really bad actually i'm gonna i'm gonna shove a little shredders down there maybe some more mortars i feel like i need to do more damage at the start let's get some mortars like up on these hills oh there we go some more obelix damage to armor we'll take that i feel like these guys are resistant to poison like this poison thing is doing nothing at the start maybe i should get rid of them you're not poisoning anyone you're useless oh god down here it's getting dangerous we need more shreddage look at the mines down here though should anyone get through hopefully they'll get annihilated all right i'm not really sure i'm that bothered about any of these i've never used the mine repair and increased tower max health so that would give our tower down here a bit more health it's 12 out of 12. it could save us i guess i don't know how oh sorry i'm going to do it because i just want to see how it works so 150 if we shove this next to a blob of iron which is this orangey stuff does that go up to 13 oh it does okay oh it literally costs 150 each time it doesn't increase in price oh well we could just turn our tower into a tank and we can't lose 20 out of 20. i assume if we click on these does it say anything about a 10 chance to repair damage okay nice i understand okay so let's expand oh another mana crystal we'll shove a couple of siphons around that then i'm a bit worried how close to our tower our main damage is but that's just because how the levels branch i'd love to do damage earlier on in the level but it's not easy on the joys of this mod fast forwarding because you know you've got this win in the bag nice okay let's do some more damage to shields sounds good to me and then we'll expand that direction i think and we might cover this in something maybe another shredder nice i love how it rips through it's so good it's so satisfying right we've got 3 000 gold i really want to buy another obelisk but i need more mana i want i think we need to unlock the mana bank to make use of that anyway let's expand that direction still new mana crystals oh look it's the zombie yogi i'm actually gonna shove you there and say go for most health that will start taking them out a little bit and then i can just delete that in fact i might demolish it now because our mana is getting eaten oh dear that could have been silly map right here's got a lot of armor i'm going to upgrade this obelisk no i'm not i'm going to upgrade oh i don't know we just need to sold it let's just plaster towers everywhere crap he's coming take him down ballistas take him down oh no that oh game over i didn't even see i don't even know what happened well that was terrible but i blame the level layout for that it was not kind to me in the slightest all right so those wondering how i make my thumbnails i've installed a mod that gives us completely unlimited everything unlimited money unlimited mana uh we can still lose though so we've got to be a little bit careful but we're basically just waiting to unlock the obelisk but while doing that i will show you how i made the thumbnail last time so we're basically just gonna cover this area in particle cannons oh and there's the obelisk so we'll do that after so this is our new thumbnail they don't know what they're doing they've just got one ballista and this is our engineering one look at it it's insane and honestly this is awesome so let's fast forward and get the enemies down here and just you wait till these start firing it is beautiful it's ready level is expanded and before anyone accuses me of cheating no i didn't cheat i just engineered the game to work better and look at the damage these guys are doing only the front row shooting oh that is that is what i like to see that is what i like to see anyway let's delete all these i remember they cost us nothing to get but as we demolish them we're actually getting the money back we're millionaires yay all right so now obelisks we're gonna plunk these down i will just do that many to start and we'll see if that does the damage actually i might do another route i'm a little bit scared all right here they come oh no are these that good oh there we go here we go we're getting more involved yeah i don't know why i panicked don't know why i panicked oh look here come the pile of logs all right they're getting pretty rinsed but they do release other enemies but yeah no match really no match for us also really annoying why is this level being so kind it's literally one route that would have been amazing for my run earlier typical the level i choose for the actual video was absolutely atrocious or maybe it was the hints from the youtube comments maybe you guys maybe all tricked me i don't know the next time we'll try and do you better we'll try to do this technique this is working pretty well oh yeah but for now peace love and obelisks i'll catch you guys next time bye [Music]
