A7. The Bluffs (Hard)

Objective: Survive 22 waves

I found this level a little tricky at first. I’d almost got the solution for completing the level on hard, but I always seemed to lose a life along the way. So a special thanks to daluke for his tweeking suggestions that made this possible.

Start with a laser tower towards the bottom right hand corner. The first few waves contain weak enemies and the laser tower will have no problem is eliminating them.

Next build a cannon tower here. By the end of the level you’ll want to have destroyed all the ‘blobs’ for the extra resources and space. By placing the cannon tower here, you’ll be able to target a large portion of the towers at the top of the map. Start by targeting the largest blob.

Make sure to upgrade all the time and as soon as you can. In the moments you have between waves, destroy the blobs around you using the cannon tower.

Place your next cannon tower here as it will be able to target the three ‘blobs’ at the bottom of the map. Again, upgrade as soon as possible.

Build a splash tower but only upgrade it once. Use any additional resources to build another cannon tower towards the top of the map.

B3. Santa Fe (Hard)

Objective: Survive 27 waves

All you need is cannon towers to complete the level on hard. Once again the motto is to upgrade before you build more. Place your towers as I’ve done,

A4. Boulders (Hard)

01 Sep

Objective: Survive 23 waves

Again this level can be completed on hard by just using cannon towers. My technique was to build a long line of cannon towers with a couple of extra towers near the base to make sure that some of the more hardy enemies don’t get through.

Like I’ve discussed on other levels, I like to make sure that a tower is fully upgraded before building a second.

A1. The Palisades (Hard)

01 Sep

Objective: Survive 20 waves

Here’s how to beat the palisades on hard.

I always play with the belief that one fully upgraded tower is better than two or three basic towers. It’s much more powerful, offers greater range and takes up less space.

You only have the option if using cannon towers on this level, so that’s all we’ll use.

Start by upgrading the cannon tower that is already placed at the beginning to the level.

Enemies slow down a little when the turn corners. By placing towers on (or near) corners you’ll be able to maximise their effectiveness. Build one tower at a time and only build another when your tower is fully upgraded.

Build another set of towers mirroring the first set you built. Again, build and upgrade one tower at a time. I built an additional cannon tower last, right near the base as a final insurance policy, should any of the quick moving enemies get through.

C1. Snowcapped (Hard)

Objective: Survive 52 waves

I rarely use cannon towers, but I also like to keep things simple. This level can be completed by only using cannon towers. Although I have uploaded these pictures while playing on the easy setting, this also works when playing on hard.

Place your towers in as I’ve done below. When I played the map on hard I started placing my towers by the base and worked outwards in a symmetrical pattern.
