Ant-Coliseum Tree Stump Hard difficulty level 18 Skills I used: 1) Porta-Turrent= A must for surviving! 2) Shoulder Turrent= Provides extra firepower and is very useful when fighting a mob of fleas since it allows you to hit 2 targets at once. 3) Goggles= Allows you to see further and lets you dodge bullets more efficiently and make the correct move so you don't get cornered. 4) Big Bullets= Becomes more effecient as you upgrade your gun to have more dps since the percentage of having a big bullet increases. 5) Howitzer= A must for surviving at later levels! Provides massive firepower. 6) Life support= Optional but nice to have in case of emergencies. Passive level up points: 1) Max out lucky shot, it becomes vital because of it's knockback. 2) Alternate between speed and health because the speed allows you to dodge bullets with the aid of goggles and health would make you last longer since ant can't stand a devastating hit. The Strategy: First kill enough bugs so you can afford porta-turrents. Then place a turrent right in the middle of the map so any bug crossing would get detected and attacked. Be sure to time the 1 minute mark so you can have 2 turrents on the map at the same time. Next, earn enough money to afford shoulder turrents, this is vital to survive against early mobs of fleas which would quickly overwhelm ant. Next thing you want to get is the goggles which is very important to minimize damage gain because it lets you see a larger area and gives you time to dodge bullets. Now you may be wondering why I listed 6 skills when you can only have 4 at a time. This is because you should never click the goggle skill and only use it for the purpose of seeing a larger area. That spot is reserved till later levels to get more powerful skills. Next you can either get big bullets or upgrade to an machine gun. After you get both big bullets and machine gun, your next option is to upgrade to mini gun or howitzer. After you have both if you want you can get life support. By now after you have everything set, the action should be starting with scorpions and elephant snails, and queen ants. The strategy here is to equip porta-turrent, shoulder turrent, Howitzer, and life support (for back-up but if you choose not to get it then this can be either goggles or big bullets.) There should be a ton of mobs and snails and all those powerful goodstuff, to get rid of them the trick is to round-them up by going in a circular fashion around the arena, they should go into the center of the arena where your 2 porta turrents are, and when the enemy fits perfectly, use howitzer, and shoulder-turrent and continuesly attack the center untill all are killed. Repeat and try to beat my score! Tips: 1)If your health has only been damaged by one bar and you see food, don't get it right away! wait until you need it or if the food has a red ring around it. You have to ration your food as best as possible! 2) The mushroom power up is a big key to victory, wait until it has grown to full size (green ring around it) and then harvest, only harvest when you need it either to defeat queen and or some tough bug. 3) When attacking scorpions try to get a mushroom and KEEP A DISTANCE once a scorpion stings you you slow down and that gives him a chance for a 2nd sting. 4) When fighting elephant snails keep a distance also, this guy should be easier since he is on the slow side but he spawns fleas which can be a bit annoying. Key is to keep him in the center with the porta-turrents attacking him to keep constant pressure. 5) If you can, try to stay on the bottom of the map, it allows a wider range of view compared to staying a the top of the map which doesn't allow you to see the bottom. 6)Keep moving at all times, if you stay still, chances are you will get hit by a bullet or a stream of bullets from a flea gunner team. 7) Dealing with flea gunner teams, you should NEVER advance forwards, instead you have to move sideways while attacking that way you dodge his bullets and attack him at the same time. Extra note: Yes, I know my strategy is a bit awkward and the skill selection is a bit odd, but it works for me. Thank you for taking your time to read it, and have a nice day . -Versago
I din't know noob question like mine would put this thread to halt! I think I must pat my back for being able to play & so far without having more than 4 abiliteis
Thanks kid but I should have been more specific, I meant I'm looking forward to reading about various players strategies. Thanks anyway
only play the kitchen on normal, but those ants and scorpions at later levels are just gg. what are the best skills to deal with them?
ant mini-gun (with lucky shot fully leveled up) and maybe worm with riot gear... also a teleport ability or beetle's warrior gauntlet if you get trapped.
just looked in the insectopedia, not ants but centipedes. another game on normal on kitchen. four or five of them in a row. super bomb, grenade and riot gun from worm also assassins cut from spider. it's still not fast enough to beat them.
tip for centipides with stickbug get fire staff plus earth staff and quickly attack and switch between them this way you quickly deal massive damage because the load time is reduced greatly whil the attack power stays the same
thanks guys for suggestions, gonna try it out! i also tried all mushrooms turrets, it worked a bit better.
Colusiem round 26-termite I cannot guarantee that this is the perfect strategy but it is the strategy I used to get to round 26. First thing I did was to buy the big drill bit. Remember that if you attack bugs that are on that edge of the stump it usually knocks them off. Upgrade in order: Workmanship Optics Health Static discharge The second thing I did was to buy the gun turret and place it in the middle of the stump, I was about lvl 3-4 by now I then got the food cultivator, this is essential for survival I then proceeded to get the multicannon and railgilun turrets, always placing them in the middle. Railgun turrets with maxed out optics can shoot anywhere on the map. If you get stuck with some big bugs you can run around the edges and let the turrets do the work in the middle, only killing small bugs that come near you. This is greatly helped by eating mushrooms as they give you a speed and damage boost. I haven't tried out nailgun yet so idk about how usefull it is, I assume it would be more usefull in adventure mode
