Many people find this game hard, so I'd like to give you some advice and other player should write theirs completing methods in this topic too! My tips: » Choose your own strategy! Yes, it is very important. My strategy: build only powerful gems near to each other, and I don't use traps at all. Also choose good places for gunning zones: better is to place you guns in inner part of corners, like that: []⢠[][]
[]-road ⢠- gem tower » If you can't complete level you should play all already open and completed levels in different or just same mode. This will give more magic upgrade points. » Don't forget to upgrade your magic skills in "skills" category. Also upgrade that categories which you need in your strategy. For example in my strategy I would recommend you to upgrade "focus" to much, which gives you a lot of mana in beginning of level. You can already build 5-edge gems.
That's all I think, believe you find my tips useful and please submit your own
Spend your points on lower costs tower upgrades and more mana per hit, and more initial mana. Then make two or three towers and place grade two gems. Only if there aren't towers, if there are spend your mana in grade two gems and combine them. Combine pure gems only. Place an orange gem where every creature will pass to ensure mana gain. Put your game speed to 1x and create grade 1 gems.
Then blast the creatures with gems and the gems placed.
Simple as that, and don't be afraid to reset your skill points.
Sometimes for some levels you need to put your points in different skills.
i often build towers at places where touches most road, no matter near the and or at appearing place... at starting its ok to let the monsters come together, probavly can defeat and you'll get some more mana and i often like to use slow " blue" traps with high level splash towers...
geopro, drom gem bombs onto the stones that symbolize monster waves, this will cause more monsters to appeat when it will break, and they will be harder to kill.
I am stuck at level 38 and can not get the heroic level in the tower (Level ID 15) to the right of the first arcane guardian level. Anyone have any tips?
Some stones look like stones and others have like a star on them what do they do?
The strategy guide explains the different symbols.

okay geopro, listen. The wavestone has 3 sections, the upper part shows the type of monster (normal is no image, swarm is 3 dots, runner is an arrowhead, armored is a shield, giant is something else I don't recognize yet), the central shows the wave number and average monster hue, the bottom part shows the directions where the monsters will appear from, if there is more than one entrance on the map, I don't know yet which of the side arrows mean houses and which mean roads.
And yep, readjust skills or tactics if you're stuck at some level. If there are waves you swat with ease, do anger them 1-2 times and see if you can cope with them without losing too much mana. More monsters means more mana, and more hits of orange which also means more mana.
Lankhr, if you're going with lime and already use grade 9+, another nice combo will be red/yellow/lime grade 12 or higher, you can afford that. This gem does top speed damage which jumps, crits and does splash. R/P gems are better used in traps for their speed, more monsters per hit and tripled direct armor reduce.
my stratigy is to (and i have 8 glowering frame scores) use the powerful gem bombs in the skills menu and upgrade it to the maxand get initial mana, mana per kill, mana per second and lower mana cost and then you get 8 waves at once and BOMB them hard with grade 2 gems, IT WORKS. it doesn't work on the first epic level though because the boss is too hard.
Lankhr, about how to get R/Y/L gems. You need grade 1 lime, grade 1 red and grade 1 yellow, and let's say you can't get neither red nor yellow or lime off normal gem creation. Then you create 3 grade 1 gems, 2 grade 2 gems, 2 grade 3 gems, 2 grade 4 gems, 2 grade 5 gems, 3 grade 6 gems, then you select a color, then you bomb your 3 grade 1 gems with that color, combine 2 of em to receive a grade 2 pure R or Y or L gem, bomb grade 2 gems and so on. I'd advise you to preserve both a grade 6 pure gem and a grade 1 gem of each color.
After you will do gem bombing, you will receive 2 grade 6 gems of each three colors. You then combine 4 out of them into a grade 8 R/Y/L gem in any order, then you can combine that grade 8 with any other grade 8 gem, provided you drag the R/Y/L over another gem, this will raise the grade of the gem, and it will not lose your needed specials. However you might end with a prismatic gem then... be careful if you don't want it. Now, you will need to boost all three specials, that's the time where you use supergemming with your grade 8+ gem and your grade 1 preserved R-Y-L gems. You create a whole space full of grade 1s, then you bomb em all with your selected grade 1 and watch them become of your needed color. Then you combine your big gem with small gems always dragging the bigger gem over the smaller, this will raise the special of that color to maximum of 60% top performance - 24% chain hit, 33 splash, 30% triple damage, firing speed and range will hit the top as well.
You're set with your gem, and you have 2 grade 6 of your needed colors as leftovers. You can create a grade 7 dual off these, then combine it with newly bombed grade 1 of the third color to lock the specials.
About red/purple traps - they are about 10 times as effective for softening purposes than R/P or P towers, so you place some 5-6 of em to take care of any 200+ armor wave of monster, and you have lots of space left to put orange, blue or yellow, or whatever other traps you want.
Level ID# 41 - Arcane mode = IMPOSSIBLE! Im level 122 and currently on ID#72 or so but im trying to finish all the modes in the earlier levels. I cant beat #41 in arcane. Ive tried a bunch of times. Last time I had 17 towers up and the whole path littered with traps, mana up to 8k. I cant fit anymore towers lol. I still lost.
Whats the trick? All other modes and levels were 10x easier.
The first time I finished the game at level 61 building no traps and with making only pure gems in all levels. So I guess it is not that difficult if you have the patient.
Thanks all. The key was less, more powerful towers. A bunch of grade 4 gems doesnt cut it anymore like in the early levels. Must have 5s and 6s. I did it with 7 duel grade 6s.
Another question. What are the best traps for the later stages besides slow & shock? Poison works nice for the first 6 or 7 waves then it doesnt seem very effective. In the later waves I had a poison trap up to +113 poison dmg and the critters didnt seem to be bothered by it at all.
Do any traps work in the heat of battle or are they only good for the start of the fight?
