Basically, a 3 monster strategy is more consistent, but because of gold's importance in the game, the need to split it three ways makes the strategy often worse than the META. Note that this strategy is arguably more efficient than splitting gold between 3 "different-elemented" monsters, as you'll end up with higher damaging towers (which gets you further) for the price of having to need some luck to pass a set of waves. In other words, if you take the average gold you make per run (up to you to estimate, usually around what you have before you prestige) and split it somewhat evenly between both your carries, you'll notice your main carry will end up fairly stronger than your secondary - which is completely fine, as your main carry will deal with the majority of enemies, since resistant enemies make up a minority of all enemies you encounter. The rest of the gold should then be invested into your secondary carry (2nd highest DPS monster), whose purpose is to clear stragglers/leaking enemies, and resistant enemies that your main carry couldn't kill. Anyway, when both monsters are placed (generously distanced), you invest enough gold into your main carry (highest DPS monster) so that it can clear any wave without issues (except resistant enemies, but we'll get to that later). Although you can manually circumvent this by targeting specific enemies, the strategy shouldn't even require you to do so in the first place. Then you place both of those, preferably distanced, as putting them close to each other creates a conflict of purpose, where your secondary carry tries to kill every single enemy, which is the purpose of the main carry. If you're looking to progress further, there's a single strategy that can be applied throughout the majority of the game.įirst, you need to find your 2 strongest monsters of different elements (highest DPS, in this case - they're called "carry" monsters, or "carries").
It's a strategy that's widely accepted as being the best for its purpose, which, in this game's case, is likely progressing further. META stands for Most Efficient Tactic Available - it's a term you might have heard of, as it is popular in many other games.
The information in this page is still relevant as it utilizes practices that are important throughout the entirety of the game, however some balancing will likely need to be done.

*Important: With the update on releasing two new sets of end-game monsters, the META may need some tweaking.
