Enemies reach the castle
Prioritise mobility, knockback, slow or a reset tool. Keep one escape available instead of spending every cooldown on damage.
Plan a contact response →Choose a response to the pressure you actually lose to.
Use these encounter patterns to make a first decision. Confirm exact enemy behaviour and stage rules in your current game version.
Projectiles close your lane
Use range and repositioning together. Automatic pressure helps while you steer; control buys time to cross an unsafe lane.
Plan a ranged response →Too many targets stack up
Combine area damage with slow or fire zones. A single-target damage plan usually collapses when several threats arrive together.
Plan an area response →The route changes your answer
Before a run, note the stage, objective, timer or boss pressure, then choose one build sentence that matches that constraint.
Start a stage plan →FIELD TEST LOG
Make every run improve the guide.
After testing, record the stage, enemy pattern, build link, game version and result. This separates a useful player report from an unverified guess.
What ended the run?
Contact, ranged fire, crowding, or damage drop-off.
What did you change?
One module or upgrade target, not the whole build.
Did it work?
Note the result and version so others can reproduce it.
