Deployment Strategy

Economy Management

Team Composition

  • Support Units: Ice Queen (slow extension), Slayer Mage (crowd control)
  • Tank Units: Whitstache or Dark Wing for front-line protection
  • DPS Synergy: Combine with Venus or Xero for AoE+single-target combo setups.

Map Strategy

  • Best placed at narrow choke points or enemy spawn zones.
  • Effective against fast-moving enemies and boss clones.
  • Use with control towers to keep enemies in range during ultimate activation.
