I'm new to the game and I'm a noob, could you explain what do you mean by "long path"? Is it long for creeps to get to the second pass (slash on numpad) or is it long for creeps to stay under fire (position 5 on numpad)? And what do u mean by "you don't really need to use any element towers before you get all 3"? I suppose you suggest to get all three elements on level 1 and start by getting quarks for example? Thanks in advance to anyone who will answer those noob questions
