Element Pick Order

[Guest M45T3R]

Hello,

I would like to know if this element order would be good (in 4.0):

5.Fire

10.Water (for kindle)

15.Light (for windstorm mainly)

20.Nature (for nova mainly)

25.Earth (for quaker mainly)

30.Dark (for roots/muck mainly)

35.Earth lvl 2

40.Fire lvl 2

45.Nature lvl 2

50.Dark lvl 2

55.Water lvl 2

-I placed the lvl 1 elements in this order because it gives two AoE slows ASAP (windstorm, nova); then earth gives quaker so I can dish out some damage while I wait for dark to get all the AoE slows in the game (muck, roots)

-I decided to not get light lvl 2 because the towers that it gives don't need to be upgraded (ice, windstorm, polar, nova, enchantment)

Any suggestions appreciated.

This order would work fine in 4.0 pb. Any 6-element build that gets all lvl 1 elements followed by 5 lvl 2 elements should work fine, imho.

Some small small suggestions:

-fire is more useful than water for waves 5-10 because wave 9 is nature undead and it's really useful to have fire cannons for that. water is useful on wave 8 but fire arrows can one-hit the creeps on wave 8 anyways.

so if you're aiming for kindle first, i would get fire, then water. The only real benefit for your order is that the fire elemental at level 10 will be easier to kill, but imho that's a negligible benefit--you should be just fine with a grouping of super arrow towers.

-i would recommend nova over windstorm as your first triple, since it's more consistent. with windstorm you have to worry about the tornado not spawning in the right place or not spawning at the right time--nova doesn't run into any of that. not to mention, the positioning for kindle and the positioning for nova should be the same anyways, so you can easily convert your kindle -> nova with no problems.

-I would get water lvl 2 before dark lvl 2 unless you have some specific reason not to (maybe you're thinking about triples here?). Main reason being that it gives you access to lvl 2 well, which is useful.

but again, honestly it doesn't matter that much for a 6-element build. You should be just fine.

I'm getting dark before water because I think roots lvl would be good to have, but is it better than well lvl 2?

That's a perfectly valid reason. again, it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
