New Tower Defense Guide for 1.3B: https://f95zone.to/threads/starmaker-story-v1-2b-arvus-games.218071/post-15063942
For the tower defense, i literally just speedrun easy/medium with goblins/dwarves until I have car to go buy Warrior and Paladin.
Once I have Warrior/Paladin purchased my Tower Defense guide is as follows:
*Note: I am very biased against Speed Enemies, so I avoid them alot.
1. Decide on your card selection, priority ordered:
- Anna OR 50Gold. (Early, I think Gold is better to get Warrior)
- Fire Mage OR 20Gold if it helps with Warrior purchase
- Double Goblin
- Goblin/5Gold (these basically felt the same, 5 gold is definitely better if it helps with next purchase)
2. Never buy anything except Warrior/Paladin. Only buy Goblins if you feel you're lacking just a little of damage.
3. General Guide:
If you got crap starter card, just go 3 goblins to start. Always aim to have 3 units on the board at the start.
Warrior Stacking just above spawn. It literally obliterates all slow movers, and catches some of the fast ones too.
Goblin Stack in the middle open slot near spawn.
Paladin stack (have never gone higher than 2 Paladins) at the bottom below the goblins.
Anna/Fire Mage top above the Warrior Stack (so Top left corner)
We don't need Healers.
Faster I get Warrior onto the field the better. 1 Warrior + 3 Goblins handles all Easy + most Mediums.
My Ideal endgame looks like 5 Warriors, 2 Paladins, 3 Goblins, and then just add whatever I am feeling like that matches enemy types from there. It's kinda difficult to hit that if you don't hit the Medium Coin Farm enemies.
4. More specific notes: For All Rounds, consider what you have vs what you face
Easy - Tanky Tanks Mix (Weak Bug + Green Tank) -> 3 Goblins is sufficient. The basic choice.
Easy - Disgusting (Weak Bugs) -> Coin Farm. 3 Goblins is not enough, but you probably won't die if you maneuver a bit. Kinda annoying. 1 Warrior + 3 Goblins is enough.
Medium - Sacrifice (Speedy + Weak Bug) -> Kill me, I literally try to not pick this ever. A paladin is required, but I'm unsure of exact numbers here.
Medium - Green Swarm (Green Tanks) -> The favorite coin farm. 1Warrior, 3 Goblins. Easy money.
Medium - Big Brother (Green Tanks + Yellows) -> Less desired, But 3 goblins and 1 Warrior is sufficient.
Hard - Speedster (Stealth + Speedy) -> Another kill me. See the Swarm below, but know that you might some extra oomf to slow these fkers down.
Hard - Only Pain (Black Tanks) -> Late Game Coin Farm. A stack of 5 warriors kills em.
Hard - The Swarm (Stealth, Speedy, Yellows, and Blacks) -> Stack of Warriors, 2 Paladins, and some Goblins, and you should skirt by. My lowest so far was 2 Warriors, 2 Paladins, 4 Goblins, 1 Fire Mage.
5. When do you stop working?
I stopped once StarMaker was making 1k a day. There was a ton of other things I can be doing instead of working, and money becomes less important once I get that far.
