LWDF tower list (ronald stalling) and questions

[Guest SeraPH]

Can anyone post all towers of lwdf build for ronald stalling?

Added questions:

-are ice age towers and supernova's ineffective or of no use compared to monsoon/freezing towers?

-is spamming lvl1 entangling roots ineffective for stalling?

-is it a priority to upgrade to the max all enchantings/freezing/etc.. (slowing towers) to the max?

-is 1 pure fire/water enough of a damager since they cost too much?

How about all towers for all builds?

What do you mean by stalling? I assume you mean making ronald stop entirely as oposed to make ronald move slowly, right?

But why stalling ronald? How about killing ronald? If you stall ronald, you will fill the map with units until it is stuffed, and you die of a ronald overflow. If you want a high ronald count, go for killing. Stalling is an easy way for an early death.

"-are ice age towers and supernova's ineffective or of no use compared to monsoon/freezing towers?"

Consequently you should avoid supernova and ice age, because as little as two or three of them can lead to standing ronnies. Monsoon and freezing on the other hand tend to avoid that and to slow instead.

"-is spamming lvl1 entangling roots ineffective for stalling?"

Lv.1 roots don't disable a unit, they let them move on after a while. Roots disable only lasts 2 seconds, but takes 4 seconds to recycle. If you want a dead stop, you need gems or brambles. But all disables have one mayor problem: You can only disable as many ronalds as you have towers. Say you have 1000 brambles, they can stop 1000 ronalds, all after that will leak you to death. So where is the use of that? On top of this, you will most likely have groups of about 4-6 brambles for each ronald, holding the same unit, if you don't assign a new target to every single tower manually.

"-is it a priority to upgrade to the max all enchantings/freezing/etc.. (slowing towers) to the max?"

As for upgrading, it depends. If you use a tower as a source of damage, it has to have maximum level. If you use it for armour reduction, the same thing. But slowing has no effect, once the units are on minimum speed. Monsoon, nova and freezing result in about minimum speed, so no need for supernova upon that. And supernova has a tendency to stop ronald, so you should avoid that.

"-is 1 pure fire/water enough of a damager since they cost too much?"

They don't cost to much, they are cheap. To get the same damage in refined towers, you would have to pay twice the gold.

Example:

Pure earth tower: 80.001 dmg for 20.502 gold

Refined earth tower: 8.001 dmg for 4.556 gold

10 Refined for 45.560 gold do about the same damage as one pure for only 20.502 gold.

The more pures you have, the cheaper is your damage. I use 3 pures for my ronald hunts.

cisz, whats you tower collection then when Ronald starts, and whats your average spawn amount till you lose?

[Cisz]

I play random most of the time, so I have a very, er, random setup normally.

But I get those questions all the time, so I will make a post about how to hunt ronald.
