Lpfan Im with you, the real fun is to try to get brilliant at the levels without replay then. I made a rush at level 7 taking all brilliants without replay any but I think Im stucked now. I need to rethink my tech tree, so maybe I will restart the game again.
I saw some walks to get Brilliant. People replay a lot of games to get all skills and return later. Im on level 11 without any replay and I get all Brilliant with only the skill I get on the course. It´s really hard, but it´s possible. I saw the walk from one player that have 300 mana on map 2 to get out the boss. Its a joke.
I survied near 400 seconds. Here my tips.
Always do the combo, siege and boost healing when the healing is ready. 30 seconds invulnerable. After the healing over, do the black hole in siege mode far from you. You will stay at your position and the hole will eat enemies. Exiting the siege do the airstrike to kill the new enemies. Buy 2 turrets after airstrike neat the gate and do in one side the implosion and in the other side the drone attack. This combo will give you near 1 minute safe. The only thing you need is surive 30 seconds to redoing this task. The the end the game is more easy because some "bosses" when destroyed do black holes and when you see it. star siege mode to survive and after it, do your black hole. A lot of minutes you can survive if you do this correctly.
People, make a pure party of militias with DaBomb level 10 and with some Leech.
Pure ownage with grenades and missile launchers.
Entire screen explodes with enemies.
Very easy to play on Hardcore, you have no money but can survive with loots.
You can taunt level 5, maybe 4 times if you have some AP and hire the mercenary, so will be 5 militias.
Pure piece of cake to play.
Everything don´t survive for more than 3 seconds.
Yes it´s easy. Yellow it´s more important give time. Second its green that´sgive a lot of ups and time too later. Third its fire because he´s exploded a lot of green up´s on the scrren. The rest is useless, take focus in these 3. To use the totens, match 3 or more of one color, so the toten will be active. To use the totem, match again the same color and he will be bless with his powers.
