DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted September 30, 2008 so i know we all thought about balance in terms of 4/5/6 element builds, but uhmmm... what about 3 element builds? (keep in mind i'm hardly ever able to finish any games with other builds) 9-30-08_DDRKirby(ISQ)_b14b_VHAP_598rona.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post
Guest Timberwolf Posted September 30, 2008 There were a couple 3-element plus interest builds I liked back in 3.0 but none since. Will have to give this a watch. Go to top Share this post Link to post
Karawasa Posted September 30, 2008 We focused on the 4/5/6 element builds to the exclusion of the other ones. In different words, we really don't care about 1/2/3 element builds. This is because 1/2/3 element builds are far from optimal to use, and would prove near impossible to balance. For instance, compare a 3 element build to a 4 element build. Both have access to tier 2 triple and tier 3 dual, but one has 3 duals and 1 triple while the other has 6 duals and 4 triples... Go to top Share this post Link to post
jolin012 Posted September 30, 2008 I must say LDLDLD$P$PP was the easiest build to beat as far as i tried, although that pure+trickery bug (pures taking essence) caused alot of trouble. need to sell clones that take 120 sec to spawn again.. sigh.. just to increaese base pures from 3 to 4 and so. makes me leak. didn't dark to do it after lv 56 so leaked 59 60 instead. however with 120k unspent cash. first attempt didn't make as many leaks, but i didn't save taht replay.

Considering that tier 3 duals are really strong, and that support triples aren't as good as they were in 4.0PB... what i'm saying is, it doesn't really matter if you have 6 duals and 4 triples if half of them become obsolete halfway through the game i'll try some more different builds, but this one was remarkably easier to finish than anything else i've tried so far. (i'm going to try and stay away from trickery abuse though =P) Go to top Share this post Link to post
Guest Timberwolf Posted September 30, 2008 I'm so bad at this game, lol. I tried the D/E/F three element build. Got to Ronald but was only about... oh, 100 000 gold short of the original here. Go to top Share this post Link to post
DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted September 30, 2008 it just happens to be really good because you have D E F covered which makes for a nice balanced defense. just like jolin's WLWLWL... build was good because the towers complemented each other nicely. in 4.0PB it was so much harder to beat the game without AoE slow...but now we can win without any debuffs at all!~ Go to top Share this post Link to post
Twilice Posted September 30, 2008 But the problem is that they cost so much. If creep hp was more / harder. And towers triples cost and even more balance tweaks to all towers. Both duals and triple supports could be used. Go to top Share this post Link to post
