Getting started on your first round
Step
When the game starts, you are placed in an area where you can build freely. Before you place anything, walk around and figure out which directions the hands will come from. The first stage is a practice round, so use it to try the building menu.
- Scout the map walk around the starting area and spot every direction enemies can approach from.
- Open the build menu try placing walls and towers to see what is available from the start.
- Check your resources look at how much material you have been given before spending any of it.
- Block the paths place walls across the most obvious enemy routes to limit where hands can reach you.

Smart base design
Tips
No base will stop every enemy forever, so you need to be deliberate about where you build. Focus your defenses on the routes enemies actually use rather than spreading structures everywhere. Between waves, check for damage and repair the most critical sections first.
- Design narrow chokepoints so enemies are forced into a single path instead of spreading out.
- Cluster towers at those chokepoints so multiple towers fire at the same target at once.
- Early walls that break easily are still useful — just factor in the resource cost of rebuilding them.
- After every wave, walk your perimeter and repair damaged sections before the next wave begins.
Gaps and resource mistakes that end runs
Warn
Even a small opening in your walls gives hands a clear path straight to you. After finishing any construction, walk the full perimeter and confirm there are no gaps. Spending everything you have in the early waves leaves you with nothing to build or repair when the hardest waves arrive.
Crafting and resource management between waves
CheckEach gap between waves is your window to craft and collect resources. The time is limited, so decide quickly what the next wave demands and work toward that.
- Look at what the next wave brings and decide whether you need new defensive items before it starts.
- Compare how long a craft takes against how much time remains before the wave do not start something you cannot finish.
- Count how many resources the next round of building and repairs will need before you spend anything on extras.
- When several things need crafting, start with the item that most directly protects your base.
