Strategic Rationale: Fire Mage burns physical-immune wraiths while Illusionist decoys protect your tower from lethal boss channels.

Waves 1–6 Threat: Skeleton archers that kite and attack from range.

Tactical Response:

Deploy Fire Mage for long-range splash damage or upgrade Bowman to Bodkin armor tips.

Common Pitfall: Relying solely on Squires; skeleton archers will chip down melee tanks without taking retaliation damage.

Waves 7–11 Threat: Ethereal Crypt Wraiths completely immune to physical attacks.

Tactical Response:

Pure physical lineups deal 0 damage. Fire Mage magic damage and Fireball burns are mandatory to melt wraiths.

Common Pitfall: Bringing no magic caster into Chapter 2.

Waves 12–15 Threat: Elite undead summoners and Chapter 2 Boss.

Tactical Response:

Deploy Illusionist to draw boss beams and summoner attention away from your main tower wall.

Common Pitfall: Letting charging behemoths hit the wall directly without stuns or decoys.

Chapter 2 Boss (Undead Lich Summoner) Archetype: Channeled Beam & Minion Swarm Boss

High health with damage-resistant bone shields.

Phase 1: Channeled Death Beam

Observed Mechanics:

Charges a sustained beam down the center defensive lane.

Recommended Counter: Use Monk stuns to interrupt the channel, or deploy Illusionist decoys to redirect beam angle away from the tower.

Phase 2: Horde Surge

Observed Mechanics:

Summons rapid ghoul waves while shielded.

Recommended Counter: Fire Mage Pyroclasm and persistent fire pools to burn minion waves.
