Which upgrades are worth it

orcs-must-die

So far I have upgraded spikes, arrow wall and archers. But i'm nervous about my next upgrade as you can't reset your points and I don't use the other traps as much.

The arrow wall and archers seem worth it as I'm using them a lot. What other upgrades are worth it? are any to be avoided?

It depends on your play style. I've seen some people max out guardians for upgrades and then take the weaver skills to buff them every level to a nice effect. I've seen others concentrate on other traps instead.

Personally, I like to bottleneck orcs with a combination of barricades and tar traps, then take them out with wall blades and clockwork maces. So, I've purchased those upgrades.

I would stress that, in my experience, there are some traps that seem a bit underpowered and that could be ruled out when focusing on what play style works best for you and what upgrades to choose.

  • The steam trap is something I've never used. It seems to lack sufficient utility.
  • Decoys and boom barrels are things I usually only use when I have an extra slot available as a "get out of jail free" card.
  • Because of how the spore mushroom works, it seems a bit too random to be reliable.
  • The spring trap and push trap are very situational.
