Urgent: The Rampage Approaches

Preparation Phase: Before the first wave, you have a limited time to study the layout and prepare defenses. Place installations by pressing the indicated button near trap doors on the floor.

Auto: Installations that attack automatically (e.g., Defender Ballista).

Limited: Village defenders or contraptions that can only be used once per wave.

Installation Management: All installations have HP and will be destroyed if depleted, but they return after a set time. There's a limit to how many installations can be in one area; placing a new one removes the oldest. You can manually remove installations by holding the indicated button.

Monster Types: Monsters appear in waves and are categorized by symbols:

• Stalker (Red Jaw Symbol): Attacks hunters and installations.

Targeter (Green Split Fireball Symbol): Attacks from afar, often from the air.

Gate Crasher (Blue Cracked Gate Symbol): Focuses on destroying gates.

Prioritize Threats: Your primary goal is to stop Gate Crashers due to their high HP and threat to the gate. Use installations or Wyvern Ride other monsters to deal with them quickly.

Secondary Threats: While Gate Crashers are the priority, also address Stalkers and Targeters. Stalkers can be fought on foot, while Targeters (especially flying ones) need to be shot down with installations like Ballistas or Cannons.

Stronghold Leveling: Repelling monsters and completing missions increases your Stronghold Level, unlocking new installations.

Dragonator: At Stronghold Level 3, the Dragonator becomes available. This is a powerful fixed installation that deals massive damage but has a long cooldown. It can be activated by pulling a lever. There are separate cooldowns for Dragonators at the front and back.

Power Kilns: Use Power Kilns (resembling furnaces) to speed up the Dragonator's cooldown.

Wave Breaks: You'll have breaks between waves to prepare defenses and place new installations.
