Start here

Tower 2 is your starting material. Tower 4 is your first active attacker. Establish useful coverage before relying on a sector to hold the infected.

Early defenses

Explore how your first towers strengthen a lane and how later merges introduce different strengths.

Tower 2 · Tower 4 · Tower 8 · Tower 16

Pressure on mobile threats

These towers favor several fast or numerous infected roles. Keep tougher enemies in your plan too.

Tower 32 · Tower 64

Focused defense

These towers favor disruptive threats such as Spitters, Scavengers, and Exploder Breachers. Reach and placement still decide whether they can help.

Tower 128 · Tower 256 · Tower 512

Prepare for heavy contact

Heavy threats can survive the approach. Build useful coverage before they reach your valuable defenses.
