Archer
Reliable single-target DPS with steady range. Excels at thinning early waves and finishing weakened elites.
Units & the Chicken Warrior
Know your defenders.
Premise
Guard a fragile egg through rising waves of enemies. Hold the line long enough and the egg hatches into a chicken warrior—a surge of hope that empowers your defenses with team-wide buffs and new tactics. Every placement, upgrade, and perk draft nudges you closer to that pivotal moment.
Defenders Roster
Bomber
Splash damage specialist. Ideal at bends and choke points to control swarmer packs.
Freezer
Applies slows to cluster enemies and extend time-on-target. Enables AoE and beam units to shine.
Healer
Support totem that restores allied durability and grants minor resist auras on upgrade tiers.
Sniper
Long-range, high-impact shots. Counters priority targets and backline threats across lanes.
Trap
Deployable hazards that burst or snare. Sets up lethal chokepoints and buys time for anchors.
Milestones
First Hatch
Stabilize early waves to reach the threshold safely. Expect a power spike and new options.
Elite Waves
Mixed resistances and armor checks. Adjust lanes, add shred, and tune anchors for thresholds.
Final Surge
Peak intensity. Bank coins, upgrade core lanes, and stack control to handle boss pressure.
Egg → Chicken Warrior
Before Hatch
- Focus on coverage and crowd control to prevent leaks.
- Prioritize early economy if the map permits safe lanes.
- Place anchors at bends; prepare for surge thresholds.
After Hatch
- Team aura: small attack speed and crit chance increase.
- Ability unlock: short rally that boosts damage in a radius.
- Tier perks: optional armor shred aura or extended slow field.
Enemy Archetypes
Runner
Very fast, low HP. Counter: slows at bends + early splash.
Tank
High armor, steady pace. Counter: armor shred + sustained DPS anchors.
Swarmer
Numerous, fragile. Counter: AoE near chokepoints; traps for cleanup.
Shielded
Temporary damage negation. Counter: sustained hits, beam effects, or DOT.
Flyer
Bypasses ground traps. Counter: long-range coverage; anti-air perks.
Elite
Resists control and bursts. Counter: threshold upgrades and focused fire.
Upgrade Paths
Damage
Prioritizes DPS thresholds and crit scaling to delete priority targets. Best when lanes are already stable.
- Anchor damage tiers first.
- Add pierce or crit perks.
- Finish with boss shredders.
Control
Stacks slows, stuns, and traps to create safe, predictable chokepoints. Enables AoE to overperform.
- Slow fields at bends.
- Stuns for elite windows.
- Traps for swarmer cleanup.
Utility
Economy and support auras that compound over time. Great on maps with room to stabilize early.
- Income perks early.
- Team auras (speed/crit).
- Flex into damage later.
Status Effects
Slow
Reduces enemy speed; increases time-in-range for anchors.
Burn
Applies damage-over-time; pairs well with control fields.
Stun
Short disable to open a burst window on elites and bosses.
Player Journey
Mastery grows with each run. Experiment with placements, lean into perk synergies, and learn the inflection points that decide a wave. When the egg hatches and your formation surges, you’ll feel the payoff of careful planning and bold choices.
