💡 Tower strategy that works every time
1) Weaken the boss with your player weapon, 2) deploy your strongest counter pal, 3) keep your pal alive with healing items, 4) dodge the big telegraphed attacks. Bring 3+ strong pals — towers allow team rotation.

PVP Considerations
PVP in v1.0
PvP is available via server settings (or community arenas). Meta shifts fast with patches — the safe pick is a bulky legendary (Paladius/Necromus) with Ferocious + Musclehead + Lucky + Legend, plus a fast mount for positioning. Check the current update log before investing in a PvP build.
