The upgrade bonus is retardedly overpowered--you can sell all of your existing upgrades before you use it, effectively giving you thousands of dollars worth of stuff.
Only two combinations are worth it: splash slow (water wind earth) and life steal (fire water lightning). Before making the combination towers, upgrade a neutral or single element tower to level 5. You should be relying on level six pure element towers for all your damage.
