What is Tower Defense: Super Heroes?
In this vibrant, comic-book-inspired game, you aren't just building static towers; you are commanding a team of Super Heroes. An evil alien warlord has launched an all-out assault on Earth, and it's up to you to coordinate the defense.
Unlike traditional TD games where you upgrade buildings, here you level up heroes, unlocking devastating superpowers. The game is celebrated for:
- Dynamic Hero System: replace generic turrets with characters like Iron Man, Cyclops, and more.
- Active Skill Usage: Manually trigger powerful ultimate abilities to turn the tide of battle.
- Varied Enemy Types: Fight against everything from foot soldiers to giant mechanical bosses.
How to Play
1. Assemble Your Team
Before each level, you choose which heroes to deploy. Each hero costs a certain amount of energy (resources) to place.
2. Positioning is Key
Place your heroes on the high ground or strategic street corners.
- Ranged Heroes: Keep them safe in the backlines.
- Melee/Tank Heroes: Place them near the front to engage enemies and stall their advance.
3. Upgrade and Evolve
As you defeat enemies, you earn cash. Use this to:
- Level Up Heroes: Increase their damage and range.
- Unlock Skills: Access active abilities like missile barrages or laser beams.
Hero Guide: Know Your Defenders
Success depends on using the right hero for the job.
| Hero Archetype | Role | Best Usage |
|---|---|---|
| The Gunner | Rapid Fire DPS | Great for shredding through unarmored waves. Place them where they have the longest line of sight. |
| The Laser Eye | Armor Piercing | Essential for taking down heavily armored mechs and boss units. |
| The Freezer | Crowd Control | Slows down enemy groups. Combo this with high-damage heroes for maximum effect. |
| The Bomber | Area of Effect (AoE) | Deals massive splash damage. Perfect for corners where enemies clump together. |
Winning Strategies
1. Balance Physical and Energy Damage
Some enemies are resistant to physical attacks (bullets), while others resist energy (lasers). Ensure your team has a mix of both to handle any wave configuration.
2. Time Your Ultimates
Don't waste your ultimate abilities on a few stragglers. Save your big cooldowns (like the air strike or mega-beam) for when the screen is overwhelmed or when a Boss appears.
3. Create Choke Points
Focus your firepower on a single "death zone." Use slowing heroes to keep enemies in this zone while your damage dealers unleash everything they have.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I move my heroes after placing them? A: In most modes, once a hero is placed for a wave, they are fixed. However, you can sell them to refund some resources and place them elsewhere if your strategy needs to change.
Q: How do I beat the flying enemies? A: Flying enemies ignore the path and fly straight to the exit. You MUST have high-range anti-air heroes (like the Gunner or Laser Eye) placed centrally to cover the airspace.
Q: What happens if I lose a life? A: losing lives lowers your final star rating. If lives reach zero, it's Game Over. Try to maintain a "Perfect" score to unlock bonus rewards.
