Ballista Only Runs Are Shockingly Easy! - Rogue Tower 

Level 1: "Can we win this game using ballistas only? Maybe I need another tower, lol let's find out" Level 45: "Capitalism is an evil system that leaves people destitute, and crypto is merely the latest scam" Came for the gameplay, stayed for the class consciousness

an upgrade that starts at every 10th round, you get 1 landscape edit card. you can use it on a blank tile thats touching other tiles with no path. this would create a path or you can use it on a existing tile to modify the heights and such randomly

My first win is by using shredder, and it's really funny seeing how much crit they have when you focus on levelling a few of them

Big brain ooogie wrecked me on my ballista and frost keep run. I think I needed to spread them out a bit more, but the run is surprisingly doable.

These universities yield way too little rewards for the chance percentages given in their info screens. If you have 4 universities with a 15% chance each for a shield damage upgrade, then you should get on average get an upgrade every 1.67-th round, i.e. better than every second round. This does not seem to happen here and at some point it cannot be explained with RNG anymore.

I usually set my ballistas to most health most armour most shield. Has carried me through almost all tower combo achievements.

Hey man props to you for walking on your own path of truth. I'm glad you speak of your experience with people who were negative to your partner with not a sense of shame but something to help you work on yourself with. Much props man thank you for your vulnerability bro.

The haunted house Seance skills do not give extra money, sadly. When it says "Tax Efficiency 2x", it just means Mana efficiency. As in, you'll use half as much mana to get the same amount of gold. The reason they were paying out more later on, is because they run while the wave is active, and you had a long, slow path. Basically, haunted houses reward pushing one path out the longest.

You want to place haunted houses wherever you can get multiple graves around one house for max gains at the least cost

I agree with a lot of your discussion at the end of the video, makes me like your videos more, so I subscribed

i love what you talked about here and the similar stuff in other videos. it has made my stay on this channel feel very safe ❤

holy crap i legit just watched this while doing the same thing and won at the same time with 1035 score only ballistas. Im just mind blown right now because this came up playing on my second monitor when i started playing because i have autoplay on

Try particle cannon heavy strategy please, I'd love to see them utilized somehow

watching something as simple as the ballista wreak house is rather ironic since they're the starter from what i've seen.

Wait, who's snark? snerk? never heard of this person/game before and an hour with google didn't reveal much

Heya mate great video. i just noticed you are using the old version of the game. the last update changed stuff up a bit!

How does he always have houses around his whole base?

Grabbing university early and never using it is great if you want to potentially collect +5% crit upgrades to all towers every so often

56:05 The game you describe here NEEDS to be made, that sounds so amazing!

As I remember the Gamestop stock fuckery is as such... Investors basically rented out gamespot stock. meaning they temporarily purchased the stock [with the intent to return the same number of stocks in said company at the end of the rental] in order to get a profit [Literally, they thought the price would plummet, so they rented stock to sell high, them buy low to return said stock]. But then some reddit trolls said "We're fucking you investors," who then bought a bunch at lowish prices with the intent drive up the stock's value, forcing said investors to re-purchase the rented shares at a higher price than their sell price, thus fucking over the investor [insert oceanic bottom-feeder description here] and making themselves some money like the investors do regularly. The problem with the reddit trolls was that it gained some mainstream adjacent traction, and thus the Diamond Hands shitheads emerged, and the investors who were somewhat behind the trend in realizing that if they waited to repurchase their rented shares, that they would lose tons more. Diamond hands meant there were people dead set on increasing the value of the investment they had thrown themselves into inspite of all logic, and thus the most loyal refused to sell, where the people who realized that the value was actually crashing sold immediately. Thus savvy investors saved themselves from a level of financial ruin... or at least that's what I remember barely prompted from the 2020 time period. It was people betting against the market, vs people expressly betting on the market.

Your talk about ethics and why nft’s are a plague to society made me sub to you.

"I'd say level 25 is when the game gets actually difficult" My guy, why did you have to say that, I'm at level 24 and already struggling

Ballista only run rules of success: 1. Build ballistas 2. ???? 3- Profit!!!

How about a mechazord styled enemy that splits into missle bots as a beholder but with armor

why does he get 4 Mana/sec with 1 mana bank? I only get one Mana/sec per Building

you dude know a thing or two about live and taking wisdom from life experience. and things you said at the last part of this vid. man i agree soooo much

Oh my gosh this popped up again I remember watching this last year my life was oh so different lol

See him ignore the chests after RoboOOgie drove me a little nuts... lol...

Something that really concerns me aboot like, cypto and investing in general is that it seems to be trying to reward & target financial impulsivity. Like there's no time to "wait and see" and make a measured decision because by then it'll be even more expensive! Gotta buy in early! Buy now! Don't think! DON'T THINK! And like, there are certainly people who can afford, literally, to take those kinds of risks. But with the current wave of NFT shit it's like, pretty clear that people are simply being preyed upon.

Love your content mate.

I've watched a bunch of your videos in this series, but was somewhat reluctant to drop the sub (you never know what you're supporting in the "gamer" space) but your discussion of ethics and refusing to be silent around NFTs and transphobia has won me over. Thanks for being so vocal and putting your money behind it. 💜

Me at level 36: don’t you want to open the treasure chest? Hahaha

Hey whats up man. For their cost, mana siphons are more efficient that a mana bank, so I like to exhaust all the mana crystals on the map before putting mana banks down.

Thank you for sharing your story while playing. Meant a lot

lolol PotatoMcWhiskey is ANGR about this

I thought you can ONLY use ballista so no mana bank syphons etc. The pain was unreal.

Unfortunately, they nerfed the mana bank.

Crypto is just kinda weird.

Is there a plug-in that must be downloaded separately to get the elemental color streaks from the ballista and mortar attacks? Have never seen them in my own matches.

It’s no so much that Ballista-Only is super easy, it’s that any DoT-focused build is. I, for instsnce, beat the game on… probably my fourth try, I think it was… by just going only sprayer/flamer/shredder and stacking on every single +Max DoT card. I could. First couple runs were in the different splits to get the bonus XP for reaching at least ~lvl 15, spent it on as many 5xp and 10xp cards as I could to get the card draw and mana buildings, then bought the +Max DoT and +%DoT cards. Pretty much trivialized the game. Which isn’t a surprise; DoT*AoE builds are almost always the way to go in tower defense games.

This is a comment with no purpose

Nice job Mr Decisive. 😂

Watching your video after a day of work brings a smile to my face

You should throw a few towers in set to lowest health to kill off almost dead portals etc. Earlier

You can win a single lane run with a single Tesla at a choke point, just level the tesla constantly.

Very good

how did he spawn with houses all around his tower?

Came for the gameplay: didn't expect a moral philosophy lesson.

Nice run! does it count as a ballista only run for the achievement if you use mana banks and universities?

Next challenge for your run build as little ballista as possible ^^

what came is wander talking about where the creator went full crypto?

Fifth lol

First time watching your channel. Cool until the commentary at ~1hr. *shrug*

First lol

Second lol

Yeetus

I have to ask. Why do you place towers on +2's when there's +3 next to them? The higher elevation gives increased base damage, and the higher elevation makes up for the distance you may have gained from the one block placement difference if that was the reason for the placement. It literally makes no sense at all especially when you are placing a ballista. You could defend the placement if it was a spray tower either poison or flame but not a ballista. And since this is a ballista only run, you aren't saving those spots for other towers. Not trying to harp on you but I'm curious of your thought process for that. Also putting ballista that are near your keep on highest health isn't always the best choice either. You don't want them all shooting at a very high health target they have no chance of defeating when there's targets that are almost dead reaching the tower. Having them shoot the lowest health targets insures you get a kill but attacking the highest health target doesn't. Its best to have a mix around your keep. This way, not as many shots are wasted.

third lol

solidly based takes. im a musician and 2 seperate cites have used NFT's to steal my bands IP and i feel like nobody is really paying attention to it
