01
Turrets versus crates
Table
In short
Turrets and crates cover different ranges, so upgrading both keeps you from having a gap in your defense.
You have two main tools for popping balloons.
| Turrets | long-range defense that can handle many balloons at once. |
| Crates | close-range melee units that take down balloons quickly when they get near. |
02
Town Hall upgrades
TipsIn short
Leveling up your Town Hall raises your overall defense ceiling, which is what lets you survive the later waves.
The Town Hall is a central upgrade building that improves your town's defensive strength. Upgrading it lets you handle higher wave numbers, including the boss waves.
Tips worth knowing
- A stronger Town Hall lets you reach and survive boss waves.
- Boss enemies appear on the higher waves and are tougher than regular balloons.

Staying alive through harder waves
Warn
In short
Waves get harder the further you go, and there is no shame in repeating a wave to farm money before moving forward.
Spreading your upgrades across turrets, crates, and the Town Hall gives you the best chance of surviving the waves where bosses appear.
Worth watching out for
Replay a wave to earn more money before moving forward.
If balloons reach the town, its health drops.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens when a balloon reaches my town?
Your town loses health every time a balloon gets through.
What should I do if I run out of money?
Replay the wave you are on. Popping balloons on a wave you can already handle lets you build up cash for your next round of upgrades.
How do I beat a boss?
Make sure both your turrets and crates are upgraded before you reach a boss wave. The Town Hall should also be leveled up.
