@@LakuJK This is day19, I reach 51k waves and finally first beating Legendary Dragon!! 😊 Finally I can farm L equip. I'm so happy that my hardworking paid off rn
Lightning has been decent for a while, the problem with it was that it lacked boss killing power, in which giants and bowmaster simply dominated the field. Now with the introduction of Lightning Archer promotion, that issue can be fixed and lightning is fully usable finally 😎
Great video Laku i really love your vids specially the guide ones, but i have some question. Im at wave 450 and my build is mostly physical as i watched your guide videos before this and the physical was the way to go so i followed it,but my towers arent really that a high level since im just at early game. Now that the meta has changed im curious,Now my question would i need to be at wave 1k to do this or do i just go straight from this? Also do i need to level up my town archers or no? Or do i also upgrade the gold mine thing or do i keep mining for dark crystals and not up them? Im curious on your opinion!
Hey, sorry for the late reply 😊! Not sure how far you have advanced by now, but i would recommend starting to level up these units instead for now, if you need gold, you can leave your game on overnight (if possible) to gather plenty of colony gold and in the morning you should have enough to level up the units that you need 👍 you dont really need to be at wave 1k to do this, but you COULD also use gold autobattle and make profit from it until like ~1000-2000 waves so thats an option for you. in that case include military band M, Orc Band heroes in the build instead of dorothy and ice wizard/smith and use the gold bar, golden heart and bronze piece treasures, as well as trophy tower instead of Barracks 👍 And i would recommend just setting the workers to mine dark crystals and not level them up
it wont take too long to switch over! 😊 lightning is very strong in early game so you can probably start waving with lightning setup with lower level units than what you currently have in physical! (And also bowmaster will just be promoted to lightning archer so she is already done)
Its nearly not as effective as running lightning. Doable, yes, but likely you will want to then run some town archers - poison variation or something, and still lightning would just be better to run
It's usable, yes, but not really required now really great unit to fit in. Main role of angels is bodyblocking flying enemies and dealing small amount of damage to them. With lightning build this is not really a problem since all lightning units deal so much damage to flying units already. However if you have them leveled and want to use them, i would put them instead of dorothy in here
I will do video of my main account also as soon as I can, I plan on doing full lightning on it as well so that build will be about higher wave gold autobattle build 👍 hopefully it will help
it is likely about either your team composition or your items, so making sure team is correct is the first step, and then getting good items would be priority. One main thing is to make your necromancer cooldown to be lower than pure wizard cooldown, this is important in early and mid game. Otherwise its hard to say what is the thing that needs most improvement, would be easier to go over them in discord if you use that app. Link to my server is in description box and theres plenty of experienced players there ready to help out
Just got back to this game and right now I'm trying this Lightning setup. I don't have high level among my lightning heroes, leaders and towers. By now I'm leveling them up but I don't know who should I prioritize. Edit: Also do u have a lightning setup that is also autobattle but instead uses gold?
What is your wave level? The first ones to prioritize in early game would be Thor and Thunder towers (with mirror, stone and red defender) 👍 after that Zeus and Dark Lightning archer. Rest of the units dont really need to be leveled more than to get their final promotions. If you are not in my discord yet, I would highly recommend joining 😊 we have loads of information available in there as well regarding lightning build, levels, items etc (invite link is in the description box of this video) As for gold build, the only one about lightning i really have now is my main account gold autobattle build. You cannot use it for profitable autobattle yet, but if using manual for some reason or using time autobattle, then the layout is okay (except you will still want to have thunder tower with stone, mirror and red defender in the build). That video can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/XQ0bVSwLdDg/v-deo.html
check out the pinned comment and section that talks about ratios (ratio = hero level / total wave), but those are mainly guidelines to know which hero to level up the most. Also more information about that is available in my discord if you want to join 👍 I would just say spend the gold every few hours if you are in early game, or every few days if you are in late game :D so really just when you feel you need to level the damage dealers more (= if you are struggling)
Im sad bruh i spend all my coines on physical build so when is was new idk how to play but when i saw your vids i got to wave 35k but i spen all my gold on the physical build so i need to get more coines for lighting build (great video)
Yeah it will likely take a while to gather enough gold for the change, in the meanwhile try to keep using the old build or the mix of the two 👍 no rush, eventually you'll get it sorted out 😊
Ye I feel that just got a physical damage taken reduced for angels and plus 1 summon for giants I'm on wave 11k lol gotta redo all least my Zeus is decently leveled already
yeah thats normal, the shield defense numbers are kinda wonky in this game. While they do serve as guidelines, they really lack consistency between different modes 😅
your highest level units will be (likely in this order) - Thor - Dark Lightning Archer - Thunder Tower - Zeus early game you can leave lightning archer a bit lower than the others as well, but those are your main damage dealers 👍 also your castle level should be as high as your highest damage dealers!
Yo Laku, gc just updated is this gonna be the new meta waving build, or still the physical summon build? And i also spent all my gold on the physical summon build, and on wave 50k lately.
This is pretty much going to be the meta wave build, at least for early to mid game. Physical can still work but its just much weaker than before thanks to giants being nerfed to the ground 😥 You can keep using your build now im sure, if you struggle, drop down to no devil horn for a while and gather some gold for the lightning units, mainly focus on thor and thunder tower for now, they dont need to be leveled super high for them to be able to do very well for you. Take your time, don't rush, and don't panic. You got this
@@LakuJK Still have a question for you that always confuses me, 7000 Wave/13650 MP/76104 HP/1345 Tower/3200 Castle. Is this progress the norm for 7,000 Waves?
Why would you not have town archers in this build anyway? It wont harm you to have a few extra archers shooting the enemy you could even give them ice arrows to slow
Yeah with Ice Bow treasure equipped, they can be used to slow enemies during waves even if they are not leveled up for damage (explained in the beginning of treasures section). The actual benefit of that slow wont be that huge but it sure is an option. One reason to leave them out here would be to reduce any potential lag (town archers are quite capable of creating some due to amount of projectiles, the game is not that well optimized) Damage wise unleveled ta wont be doing anything, "some" damage is not always any better than no damage when the amount is too low to make any kind of difference
@@LakuJK hey! i have a problem with using bluestacks 5. i was gonna download grow castle but it said "Your device isn't compatible with this version" how do i fix this?
Hi Laku im on wave 235 what build do i use and which units to level up to which level including castle lvl and leader lvl Is that a green screen behind you or your house 😅cuz it looks cool
Sadly it's a greenscreen 😂 my house looks more boring! Focus on Thunder towers and Thor at your wave level now most, but also keep on upgrading lightning archer and zeus as well. Keep castle leveled up as well, it can be around the same level as your highest units 👍 work on building up your whole castle if you dont have all 12 hero slots yet, thats a huge boost early on, and dont worry if you have mana problems, those are very common in early game but they will get better after a while!
The latest update simply made lightning the most versatile element to begin with, something that has both good boss damage and good normal monster damage 👍 Physical used to be THE meta build for like 2 years before this update, but it was heavily nerfed (mainly Giants were nerfed) so it simply does not perform as well anymore. Fire and Ice on the other hand just dont get to same level in terms of performance as lightning does atm, but we will have to see if next updates will bring more balance stuff or not. Fire has great normal monster clearance damage atm, but it's lacking boss killers for example
Hello, I knew of an automatic combat deck that doesn't use money, but can you tell me the link to a video that is good for an automatic combat that uses time? I'm not good at English, so it's hard to find a video because I'm running a translator
Hey! What is your wave level? You can see one example in here: ua-cam.com/video/XQ0bVSwLdDg/v-deo.html But if you use thunder tower (early game), then you can remove assassin and paladin to get Stone and Red Defender 👍
It is true if you have both in the build, then 1 buff is wasted, but there is really not reason not to promote both all the way down. If you need urgently use the crystals elsewhere then ofc only 1 is enough :)
Yo would you recommend switching to this even tho i alr invested in physical/summon build and is at wave 2700 rn or just keep physical/summon to a certain point
I would recommend starting to level up the lightning units and switch over 😊 physical can work but eventually lightning will simply be stronger now after update
I would recommend taking it slowly, do single waves for now without devil horn and start leveling thor first, you can get lightning build running with relatively low levels as long as thor can handle ground monsters. You can also try to use some mix of lightning and physical until you can fully do the shift, likely keep sniper instead of dorothy and maybe giants instead of some other unit (but i doubt they will do much with just lightning skilltree)
Well, in early game it wont make that much of a difference and on lower devil horn levels, so sure! But for later game you will want slingers, especially once they get their piercing skillnode. Their crowd control is just superb
Main boss damage dealer in dragons will be Dark Lightning Archer, and Zeus will help out and so will Thor, although to lesser extent 👍 dragons will be a bit slower than before, but we got the reduced timer on the chest after dragon, which balances things out quite nicely
Hey, Laku. I've tried this setup... I find it to be a bit MID... I've been a lightning build main for years, now. I didn't find dark lightning Archer to be effective, neither the spear slingers. My top 9 in analysis are all capable of getting 9 figures worth of damage and it scales all the way down to newbie levels.
Kind of yes, but the other damaga dealers do his job as well / better so he is not required for the build. And adding another damage dealer is not great idea resource-wise, as you will need to have enough gold for all damage dealers to keep up with the waves
That node also gives thor thunderstorm extra thunders 😊 its only a small boost though since most of his damage comes from chain lightning and not that attack
Town Archers should always be a better option to use than the lightning cannons. They dont get boosted from the lightning tree anyway and that extra damage to flying monsters is kinda useless in lightning build where everything is blasting air monsters with increased damage already
PLS place the white wizard next to Zeus. Zeus is your strongest normal hero. 1s off from his 5s auto cast cd is massive. Zeus, Thor and the mirrored ligntning tower aswell as the lighting castle part are your 4 main sources of damage, you dont really need anything else. I almost exclusively have other support units in there like the dark assassin with a attackspeed items to spam that crit bonus! If you like diversity you can also get the lightning hunter, valkyrie, yellow mage which focus on elec dmg too but as I said if you spend your resources on the 4 main ones above youre set anyway!
Yes 👍 if you level town archers to do damage, then the archers are better option to use than cannons (except in colony battles where town cannons are better usually)
does it matter where i put the units? i dont really like activating abilities on the top, so can i just put the units in whatever way i want, as long as Necro, pure wizard and bowmaster are next to each other?
you can re arrange the units yes, but make sure to keep bowmaster in the bottom right corner, and try to have units that shoot projectiles closer to the right side of castle (like dark elf and slingers in here for example). But if you are doing manual gameplay then its pretty much up to what is most convenient to you anyway!
It can, but you will eventually drop thunder tower and take in dark assassin, much like you did with sniper in physical summon build 👍 with enough sp lightning poison also becomes an option in late game, but full lightning also works
hi i put all my egg in one basket in the physical summon build and mat all the items not relevent to my build prior to this update. im at wave 816k and 131 skillpoints. it is really difficult for me to transition to another build as i have absolutely no items for other heroes. i believe my best plan is to continue running my build with the giants on lower devil horn until i find items for lightning heroes for the lightning build, which is obviously going to take forever and then copy the build in this video. do you have any other recommendations?
Heya! 😊 Yeah basically everyone is in this position right now, it's going to take a while for everyone to be able to adjust to new builds after this update. Your plan sounds exactly what I would also recommend, temporarily take it slower and take your time to do the swaps 👍 for your wave level this exact build might not be the most optimal, have you been leveling / using dark assassin yet in your physical build before? Zeus Thor and Lightning Archer will be 3 key heroes even for you, but Thunder Towers are likely not optimal for you anymore so you can skip those and try to focus on Dark Assassin instead. Which would mean you can drop stone and defender from the build and take in Assassin and some crowd control unit, like Giant Ogre or Mech Ram
What is your wave level right now? Start investing into thor and thunder towers first if you are in early game, getting those two to decent levels will allow you to wave quite easily. Since you already have leveled bowmaster for physical build, she is ready to be used in lightning build, just switch the promotion to dark lightning archer 👍If sniper is leveled already, you can kind of use a hybrid build and keep him in the build for a while, but without physical tree he likely won't do much damage. After you get thor and thunder towers leveled up, start leveling zeus as well. This change will likely take a little bit of your time, so you can stop using devil horn treasure until you have been able to complete the switch.
angels would probably achieve more, but chrono increases progression speed which is really important (also increases colony gold speed at the same time) 😊
That's kinda individual depending how you want to proceed with your early game. Either level them up now until they are level 10.000 and then stop, or just ignore them for now and spam them later to 10.000. I ignored them but some want to see them in use, both options will lead to same outcome with pretty similar speed i would believe. 10.000 is the preferred stop point though, at that level you get a skillpoint from them and its more effective to run just heroes after that
Lightning hunter is very weak hero and I would not recommend him in any case Lightning wizard can be okay, but there is justnot really room for him since the damage dealers slots are kinda in use and all parts of damage dealing are already covered. He doesn't do the job better than any of the other options here, which is why he's left out Dark Assassin can and will be very good unit 😊in early game his damage cannot yet reach full potential, but later on he can be extremely useful (replaces stone and thunder towers). Early game he can be used as level 51 support unit if you have room for him
Dark elf should only be dropped if you can reach the "archer trio applies to itself" skillnode in the skilltree, before that drop dorothy or slingers in early game 👍 Dark assassin as support unit is decent pick that doesnt require leveling (just get him to level 51)

Thor - Auto or Ground
Dark Lightning Archer - Auto
Zeus - Flying
Thunder Tower - Flying
Slingers - Ground (flying shouldnt be an issue)
Dorothy - Auto or Ground
▶ Hero Levels / Ratios
Ratios do not work on low wave levels, but your highest level units will be (likely in this order)
- Thor 0.05
- Dark Lightning Archer 0.04
- Thunder Tower 0.04
- Zeus 0.03
now early on Ligthtning archer can't yet reach her full potential (until you get bow node and physical tree for strafe nodes).
- Thor takes care of ground monsters
- Zeus and Lightning tower make sure you have aerial supremacy
- Archer helps during wave and kills bosses
Frozen Tower, Ice Wizard/Sorcerer, Barracks, Giant Ogre: THESE DO NOT NEED TO BE LEVELED past their final promotions. They deal absolutely no damage, use the gold on your damage dealers instead.
▶ Orbs:
You unlock orbs when you get a hero to level 10.000. Orbs can only be equipped on heroes that are level 10.000 or higher.
You will want to divide Orb of Luck, Critical Orb, Orb of Power and Lightning Orb between your four main damage dealers, depending on what kind of items they have been able to get. Place Critical damage or Critical luck orb on Lightning Archer, depending which stat you are lacking most from your items. i.e you have 3 lines of critical chance but no critical damage, pick the critical damage orb, and vice versa. Thor can likely use Lightning Orb, but if he is the first level 10k unit you have, you can use Luck orb on him temporarily as well.
Eventually Zeus will get the other critical orb that Dark Lightning Archer did not get. This leaves Orb of Power for Assassin. Note that everyones account is different, so individual changes are possible. Test and see for yourself which brings best results! You got this!

Or do i also upgrade the gold mine thing or do i keep mining for dark crystals and not up them? Im curious on your opinion!
Hey, sorry for the late reply 😊! Not sure how far you have advanced by now, but i would recommend starting to level up these units instead for now, if you need gold, you can leave your game on overnight (if possible) to gather plenty of colony gold and in the morning you should have enough to level up the units that you need 👍 you dont really need to be at wave 1k to do this, but you COULD also use gold autobattle and make profit from it until like ~1000-2000 waves so thats an option for you. in that case include military band M, Orc Band heroes in the build instead of dorothy and ice wizard/smith and use the gold bar, golden heart and bronze piece treasures, as well as trophy tower instead of Barracks 👍
And i would recommend just setting the workers to mine dark crystals and not level them up
Hell yeah im gonna start doing lightning build soon after the update is done 👍
I actually like lightning build
I'm sad to lose giants, but maybe something new can be refreshing 😊
@@LakuJK Agree
@@LakuJK Imagine if Raon Games will add new hero that summons a dragon
14:43 quite surprising 🙀
Dang, im currently on physical build at wave 2000. Time to invest and make some adjustments :(
it wont take too long to switch over! 😊 lightning is very strong in early game so you can probably start waving with lightning setup with lower level units than what you currently have in physical! (And also bowmaster will just be promoted to lightning archer so she is already done)
Thx. Learning more and more 👍👍👍maybe there’s actually 5 main damage dealers, namely mirror also:)
😂 nice big thumbs up
Hey is using poison a good idea in early game? I've been thinking using of it.
Its nearly not as effective as running lightning. Doable, yes, but likely you will want to then run some town archers - poison variation or something, and still lightning would just be better to run
It is amazing how easy it is to be good at grow castle by watching a video
Question, is angel usable in this lightning build?
It's usable, yes, but not really required now really great unit to fit in. Main role of angels is bodyblocking flying enemies and dealing small amount of damage to them. With lightning build this is not really a problem since all lightning units deal so much damage to flying units already. However if you have them leveled and want to use them, i would put them instead of dorothy in here
Thanks Laku
Should I use this or the physical summon build? Im at 10k waves and kinda struggling with the waves. Im using the physical summon build rn
I would strongly saving up some gold and switching over to this build 👍
Ty@@LakuJK
Laku hi, will the build guide be higher than 1 million waves?
I will do video of my main account also as soon as I can, I plan on doing full lightning on it as well so that build will be about higher wave gold autobattle build 👍 hopefully it will help
@@LakuJK Thanks!
Hey laku! I reached around the 250k wave mark and ive been struggling to do even +1 dh jump, do you know what i can do to improve the build?
it is likely about either your team composition or your items, so making sure team is correct is the first step, and then getting good items would be priority. One main thing is to make your necromancer cooldown to be lower than pure wizard cooldown, this is important in early and mid game. Otherwise its hard to say what is the thing that needs most improvement, would be easier to go over them in discord if you use that app. Link to my server is in description box and theres plenty of experienced players there ready to help out
Just got back to this game and right now I'm trying this Lightning setup. I don't have high level among my lightning heroes, leaders and towers. By now I'm leveling them up but I don't know who should I prioritize.
Edit: Also do u have a lightning setup that is also autobattle but instead uses gold?
What is your wave level? The first ones to prioritize in early game would be Thor and Thunder towers (with mirror, stone and red defender) 👍 after that Zeus and Dark Lightning archer. Rest of the units dont really need to be leveled more than to get their final promotions. If you are not in my discord yet, I would highly recommend joining 😊 we have loads of information available in there as well regarding lightning build, levels, items etc (invite link is in the description box of this video)
As for gold build, the only one about lightning i really have now is my main account gold autobattle build. You cannot use it for profitable autobattle yet, but if using manual for some reason or using time autobattle, then the layout is okay (except you will still want to have thunder tower with stone, mirror and red defender in the build). That video can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/XQ0bVSwLdDg/v-deo.html
Thx for guide because im dumb like i lost so many battle wave because of giant
Can i use this for gold auto builds
Yes 👍 just make sure to include the gold boosting stuff 😁
I prefer to Not use Lighning Tower Lol is that okay
Well, its probably the strongest early game unit for the build, but yes you will be fine ☺️
so this is the best wave build in the cake currently?
Yes, lightning is currently the recommended starting point☺️
Laku, I have a question about hero levels. When can I increase their level? Every how many waves? I'm always a bit lost on this point.
check out the pinned comment and section that talks about ratios (ratio = hero level / total wave), but those are mainly guidelines to know which hero to level up the most. Also more information about that is available in my discord if you want to join 👍 I would just say spend the gold every few hours if you are in early game, or every few days if you are in late game :D so really just when you feel you need to level the damage dealers more (= if you are struggling)
tysm👍
Make video on gold build
👍
What should i replace dark elf with once i get archer trio node? BTW i put slinger in my 13th hero spot
for the free autobattle setup, dark assassin if he is not yet in the build, or possibly giant ogre or druid (for increased defense)
Im sad bruh i spend all my coines on physical build so when is was new idk how to play but when i saw your vids i got to wave 35k but i spen all my gold on the physical build so i need to get more coines for lighting build (great video)
Yeah it will likely take a while to gather enough gold for the change, in the meanwhile try to keep using the old build or the mix of the two 👍 no rush, eventually you'll get it sorted out 😊
Ye I feel that just got a physical damage taken reduced for angels and plus 1 summon for giants I'm on wave 11k lol gotta redo all least my Zeus is decently leveled already
@@LakuJK thanks I did and I got all my heros on the lighting build to lvl 2600
Great video
off topic, but how is that i can win the 8k shield colonies but not the 5k dungeon?
yeah thats normal, the shield defense numbers are kinda wonky in this game. While they do serve as guidelines, they really lack consistency between different modes 😅
Laku ty so muche. But what shoud i upgrade first to the highest level?😅
your highest level units will be (likely in this order)
- Thor
- Dark Lightning Archer
- Thunder Tower
- Zeus
early game you can leave lightning archer a bit lower than the others as well, but those are your main damage dealers 👍 also your castle level should be as high as your highest damage dealers!
@LakuJK TYSM LAKU!
Yo Laku, gc just updated is this gonna be the new meta waving build, or still the physical summon build?
And i also spent all my gold on the physical summon build, and on wave 50k lately.
This is pretty much going to be the meta wave build, at least for early to mid game. Physical can still work but its just much weaker than before thanks to giants being nerfed to the ground 😥 You can keep using your build now im sure, if you struggle, drop down to no devil horn for a while and gather some gold for the lightning units, mainly focus on thor and thunder tower for now, they dont need to be leveled super high for them to be able to do very well for you. Take your time, don't rush, and don't panic. You got this
@@LakuJK thanks man, sorry i reply this late 😁
Oh and btw is this the only meta waving build, is there more like poison, ice , fire , summon?@@LakuJK
Physical summon build is best or lightning build at wave 5000
Lightning is better right now 👍 but you can keep using physical to gather gold for lightning heroes if you are using physical now
Ok
And thanks
laku will you do a lightning gold autobattle setup ?
Most likely, at least for later game but ill keep on doing stuff for as much as I have time 😊
How come I don't have the lightning archer ? Only dark bow and dark ranger
It will be available after you've updated your game 😊
Really very good build. Thank you!, 200/300 Waves left to reach 7K. Thank you again!
I'm happy to hear that 😊 keep up the grind buddy!!
@@LakuJK Thank you
@@LakuJK Still have a question for you that always confuses me, 7000 Wave/13650 MP/76104 HP/1345 Tower/3200 Castle. Is this progress the norm for 7,000 Waves?
@@АндреАуау you sound to be pretty overleveled even for you wave so yeah no worries 😊
@@LakuJK Bro, this build is really very good. I almost did not improve anything, it lasted 2.5 k Waves. Almost 10k. Thank you again!
Why would you not have town archers in this build anyway? It wont harm you to have a few extra archers shooting the enemy you could even give them ice arrows to slow
Yeah with Ice Bow treasure equipped, they can be used to slow enemies during waves even if they are not leveled up for damage (explained in the beginning of treasures section). The actual benefit of that slow wont be that huge but it sure is an option. One reason to leave them out here would be to reduce any potential lag (town archers are quite capable of creating some due to amount of projectiles, the game is not that well optimized)
Damage wise unleveled ta wont be doing anything, "some" damage is not always any better than no damage when the amount is too low to make any kind of difference

How do you play on PC? are you using an emulator like bluestacks or is there a direct download?
I use BlueStacks yes! 😊 I have also made guide for bluestacks and hotkeys if you want to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/pEDoGckbGN0/v-deo.html

how do i fix this?
Hi Laku im on wave 235 what build do i use and which units to level up to which level including castle lvl and leader lvl
Is that a green screen behind you or your house 😅cuz it looks cool
Sadly it's a greenscreen 😂 my house looks more boring!
Focus on Thunder towers and Thor at your wave level now most, but also keep on upgrading lightning archer and zeus as well. Keep castle leveled up as well, it can be around the same level as your highest units 👍 work on building up your whole castle if you dont have all 12 hero slots yet, thats a huge boost early on, and dont worry if you have mana problems, those are very common in early game but they will get better after a while!
Thanks Laku😊
How do you get the 4th line of heroes????
I’m confused
I cant get the 4th line
You will unlocking it just by leveling up your castle 👍 level 109 i think unlocks the last slot (or at least close to it)
@@LakuJK thx for the info
Out of curiosity, why lightning, why not physical, or fire or ice etc
The latest update simply made lightning the most versatile element to begin with, something that has both good boss damage and good normal monster damage 👍 Physical used to be THE meta build for like 2 years before this update, but it was heavily nerfed (mainly Giants were nerfed) so it simply does not perform as well anymore. Fire and Ice on the other hand just dont get to same level in terms of performance as lightning does atm, but we will have to see if next updates will bring more balance stuff or not. Fire has great normal monster clearance damage atm, but it's lacking boss killers for example
Hi! What about the build for infinite town, can you do a content for it? Thank you
I have a lot of stuff to do, but I'd imagine i will cover that one as well at some point 😊 dragons stuff etc also coming
Hello, I knew of an automatic combat deck that doesn't use money, but can you tell me the link to a video that is good for an automatic combat that uses time? I'm not good at English, so it's hard to find a video because I'm running a translator
Hey! What is your wave level? You can see one example in here: ua-cam.com/video/XQ0bVSwLdDg/v-deo.html
But if you use thunder tower (early game), then you can remove assassin and paladin to get Stone and Red Defender 👍
@@LakuJK I'm currently at 13,000 waves
@@antiparticle-vo3ye oh yes, then definitely include thunder tower 👍
Why no lightning hunter?
Lightning hunter is very weak 😔
Is physical better or this?
After this latest update, lightning is now better
yo laku why you promote both dark lighting archer and dark elf to have archer trio buff but that buff says "only 1 buff is applied"
It is true if you have both in the build, then 1 buff is wasted, but there is really not reason not to promote both all the way down. If you need urgently use the crystals elsewhere then ofc only 1 is enough :)
Will you make a new hell build?
At some point probably 😊
Yo would you recommend switching to this even tho i alr invested in physical/summon build and is at wave 2700 rn or just keep physical/summon to a certain point
I would recommend starting to level up the lightning units and switch over 😊 physical can work but eventually lightning will simply be stronger now after update
Hey Laku , Can I replace Dark assassin with Thunder towers/Stone cause I got very good items for him ,and also replace red defender to blue defender?
Yes, after early and mid game that is exactly the change you will want to do 👍
@@LakuJK ok thanks⚡
Bro help i just came back to the game my build was physical and my high hero is giant im having a hard time to adjust to the current meta (30k wave)
I would recommend taking it slowly, do single waves for now without devil horn and start leveling thor first, you can get lightning build running with relatively low levels as long as thor can handle ground monsters. You can also try to use some mix of lightning and physical until you can fully do the shift, likely keep sniper instead of dorothy and maybe giants instead of some other unit (but i doubt they will do much with just lightning skilltree)
I cant select the 100% boss damage on my dark archer? It keeps going back to the arrow spam ability.
All the abilities you see there are always available 😊 they're just written on different tabs, but her boss damage is always active no worries!
wow This is a SHOCKING⚡ build 😬🙃
love it!
Can i use angels instead of slingers since they are lighting types?
Well, in early game it wont make that much of a difference and on lower devil horn levels, so sure! But for later game you will want slingers, especially once they get their piercing skillnode. Their crowd control is just superb
What will the colony and drag builds look like with lightning build? Currently running physical summon with 32 sp at wave 90k
Main boss damage dealer in dragons will be Dark Lightning Archer, and Zeus will help out and so will Thor, although to lesser extent 👍 dragons will be a bit slower than before, but we got the reduced timer on the chest after dragon, which balances things out quite nicely
Hey, Laku. I've tried this setup... I find it to be a bit MID... I've been a lightning build main for years, now. I didn't find dark lightning Archer to be effective, neither the spear slingers.
My top 9 in analysis are all capable of getting 9 figures worth of damage and it scales all the way down to newbie levels.
Hey Laku, i try the build in the current version and my troops/building/towers/hero arent level up enough. Ill try again in the update I guess
Yeah definitely 👍 and also you can slowly try to change to it, physical can still work despite being weaker than before
Is lightning wizard a viable hero for this build?
Kind of yes, but the other damaga dealers do his job as well / better so he is not required for the build. And adding another damage dealer is not great idea resource-wise, as you will need to have enough gold for all damage dealers to keep up with the waves
why do u use the thunderstorm skill tree even though u dont use the lightning mage
That node also gives thor thunderstorm extra thunders 😊 its only a small boost though since most of his damage comes from chain lightning and not that attack
Is the town lightning cannon a viable option for that build? I have my archers at level 20 and idk if I should start using it or just ignore it
Town Archers should always be a better option to use than the lightning cannons. They dont get boosted from the lightning tree anyway and that extra damage to flying monsters is kinda useless in lightning build where everything is blasting air monsters with increased damage already
@@LakuJK Oh I didn't know it doesn't scale with the skills, btw any reason not to swap someone for the lightning mage? Is his dps too low?
Any good substitute for ice wizard? I dont like how he freezes the game when you click him
giant ogre would be one option for crowd controlling without pausing the game if you are doing manual
PLS place the white wizard next to Zeus. Zeus is your strongest normal hero. 1s off from his 5s auto cast cd is massive. Zeus, Thor and the mirrored ligntning tower aswell as the lighting castle part are your 4 main sources of damage, you dont really need anything else. I almost exclusively have other support units in there like the dark assassin with a attackspeed items to spam that crit bonus!
If you like diversity you can also get the lightning hunter, valkyrie, yellow mage which focus on elec dmg too but as I said if you spend your resources on the 4 main ones above youre set anyway!
So do I use town archers instead of the cannon and lightning cannon?
Yes 👍 if you level town archers to do damage, then the archers are better option to use than cannons (except in colony battles where town cannons are better usually)
@@LakuJK and physical and summon build isn’t meta anymore correct? Because the giants and all used to be super strong but idk about now
@@lemonthegamer2971 correct 👍 they were heavily nerfed in latest patch so thst build is much weaker now than what it was in the past
@@LakuJK ok thank you!!
does it matter where i put the units? i dont really like activating abilities on the top, so can i just put the units in whatever way i want, as long as Necro, pure wizard and bowmaster are next to each other?
you can re arrange the units yes, but make sure to keep bowmaster in the bottom right corner, and try to have units that shoot projectiles closer to the right side of castle (like dark elf and slingers in here for example). But if you are doing manual gameplay then its pretty much up to what is most convenient to you anyway!
Can this build go up to millions of waves like physical summon
It can, but you will eventually drop thunder tower and take in dark assassin, much like you did with sniper in physical summon build 👍 with enough sp lightning poison also becomes an option in late game, but full lightning also works
hi i put all my egg in one basket in the physical summon build and mat all the items not relevent to my build prior to this update. im at wave 816k and 131 skillpoints. it is really difficult for me to transition to another build as i have absolutely no items for other heroes. i believe my best plan is to continue running my build with the giants on lower devil horn until i find items for lightning heroes for the lightning build, which is obviously going to take forever and then copy the build in this video. do you have any other recommendations?
Heya! 😊 Yeah basically everyone is in this position right now, it's going to take a while for everyone to be able to adjust to new builds after this update. Your plan sounds exactly what I would also recommend, temporarily take it slower and take your time to do the swaps 👍 for your wave level this exact build might not be the most optimal, have you been leveling / using dark assassin yet in your physical build before? Zeus Thor and Lightning Archer will be 3 key heroes even for you, but Thunder Towers are likely not optimal for you anymore so you can skip those and try to focus on Dark Assassin instead. Which would mean you can drop stone and defender from the build and take in Assassin and some crowd control unit, like Giant Ogre or Mech Ram
I am using the physical build, what is the easiest way to go to lightning build ?
What is your wave level right now?
Start investing into thor and thunder towers first if you are in early game, getting those two to decent levels will allow you to wave quite easily. Since you already have leveled bowmaster for physical build, she is ready to be used in lightning build, just switch the promotion to dark lightning archer 👍If sniper is leveled already, you can kind of use a hybrid build and keep him in the build for a while, but without physical tree he likely won't do much damage. After you get thor and thunder towers leveled up, start leveling zeus as well. This change will likely take a little bit of your time, so you can stop using devil horn treasure until you have been able to complete the switch.

Hi
For kill L dragon i can use the same build?
I don't really like chrono so im still gonna put angel or giant but it depends on my liking if I would or wouldn't

Finally 😅 the beta period was much longer than I thought it would have been
Is this better then the physical summon build?
After this update, yes
So I should level my town archers up.? that is the only part I’m confused on
That's kinda individual depending how you want to proceed with your early game. Either level them up now until they are level 10.000 and then stop, or just ignore them for now and spam them later to 10.000.
I ignored them but some want to see them in use, both options will lead to same outcome with pretty similar speed i would believe. 10.000 is the preferred stop point though, at that level you get a skillpoint from them and its more effective to run just heroes after that
Can I change ice sorcerer or dorothy to Lightning hunter?
I would not recommend that, lightning hunter is very weak hero
Poison build next?
Maybe some point ☺️
What about orc and colony build also dragon???
Coming up later 👍
@@LakuJK yoo I just updated and I got 30 additional skill tree 18=>48
Is this bug??
Hi, is lightning hunter and assassin not good? because you didn't recommend them.
Also dark lightning wizard
Lightning hunter is very weak hero and I would not recommend him in any case
Lightning wizard can be okay, but there is justnot really room for him since the damage dealers slots are kinda in use and all parts of damage dealing are already covered. He doesn't do the job better than any of the other options here, which is why he's left out
Dark Assassin can and will be very good unit 😊in early game his damage cannot yet reach full potential, but later on he can be extremely useful (replaces stone and thunder towers). Early game he can be used as level 51 support unit if you have room for him
Is fire build still good? Been using it my main dmg is the fire tower
Are Lightning setups better than Physical Setup?
After last update, yes 😄 Lightning is the recommended path to go for
@LakuJK ok thank you 😁
What would I should drop Dorothy or dark elf and what is a recommended hero to change
Dark elf should only be dropped if you can reach the "archer trio applies to itself" skillnode in the skilltree, before that drop dorothy or slingers in early game 👍 Dark assassin as support unit is decent pick that doesnt require leveling (just get him to level 51)
