Raid Rush Guide Wiki – Best Decks & Farming Tips
You have Normal chapters and Epic chapters. You progress to higher chapters by doing Normal chapters, but you develop your account by doing Epic chapters, as it is harder but gives better rewards. You can always go back and redo any of the chapters you’ve already finished. You do this in order to acquire additional towers, blueprints and gold.
IMPORTANT: Definitely do not use your gems to revive on waves, or to refresh towers the game offers you to place. Save them for more important things, such as Events or Heroes.
Your deck always consists of 6 Towers, which are split into 4 categories. You grow by merging same-category towers together to create higher grade and level towers which you use for more difficult chapters.
Grades of towers are: Normal (grey), Good (Green), Rare (Blue), Epic (Purple), Epic+ (purple with gold border), Legendary (Gold), Legendary+ (Gold with red border), Relic (Red), Relic+ (Red with border), Supreme. Level 100 is max on a tower.
The higher the color, the higher the level can be. In order to grow levels, you need blueprints of the tower, and gold. You gain all 3 by playing Epic chapters.
Your deck also consists of 2 skills, where absolutely same rules apply as with Towers.
Keep in mind for both, that you cannot upgrade only 6 or 2 of them. Different chapters require different combinations and you need to upgrade many variations of towers. That being said, there are some, that are absolute rubbish: Disco, Bowling, Mines, Tornado…
At Account level 7 you open the possibility to use a hero. Hero’s make a huge difference. By upgrading them, you gain special skills, grow their damage and gain extra buffs. Aside from Astra, which is hard to get, my personal favourite is Mai. She hits both air and ground and adds amazing damage to Swift category towers. Heroes are what you should use your gems on.
You’ve grown stronger and know how to grind and win difficult levels. Now you need to push further.
Take part in events, such as:
WEEKEND EVENTS: where you can earn unique towers, gain gems, hero shards, and much more.
BOSS BRAWL: which is done within a clan, and can give you nice upgrade on your account.
MAYHEM EVENTS: which allows you to gain unique items and towers simply by being diligent.
SPINFINITY EVENT: which allows you to grow your Astra hero. New is coming in about a week btw.
BOSS LEVEL : Learn some “hacks” or tips and tricks to gain an extra advantage in the events.
Raid Rush Farming Guide
For anyone wondering how to tell if a stage is good to farm before hand look at these things. This way you wont have to ask people.
What am I trying to farm?
Xp , Money, or Towers?
Xp.
Look for short levels with less but more powerfull enemies. There is a symbol for it. Level completion difficulty determines xp amount so pick as high a level that fits that criteria.
Money.
Money dropped is determined by the literal level of the enemies spawning in relation to the difficult of the level. Level 18 enemies on epic 34 drop twice the gold that level 18 enemies drop on level 44 and so on. This is why level 34 epic is so good. It has a quick turn around because you fight 796 enemies in 30 waves so each wave is 10 seconds max.
The enemies are very high level so there isn’t many to compensate. The enemies that spawn are 1.5 times the normal level. This makes them drop alot more gold. Look for this in earlier levels. A symbol will show more powerful enemies in the level description.
Towers / Blueprints.
They are both dropped by chance. Ive noticed over a few 1000 hours of playing this chance varies from level to level DRASTICALLY. level 22 is the best chance on average. Consistently dropping 15 – 20 and usually 1 in 4-5 runs dropping 25 plus towers and skills per run. The most I’ve ever had drop is 29 towers/skill in one run. No farming level compared to 22 epic for drops.
Great beginners overview. Thanks for putting this out there!
