you know I don't think about TDS's grind too much since I've had every tower for years now but then occasionally I hear a sentence like "62.5 hours for all the golden skins" and I just make this face

Just a tip for new players:
Do not prioritize any level towers past turret (lvl 50), as they are almost never used in any main grinding/winning strategies. Instead, focus on the mid game coin towers and the late game hardcore towers. Trust me, mercenary base is nice to have, but not anywhere near worth the grind compared to hardcore towers.

[delta_cosmic]

for new players:

you should definitely prioritise getting all of the hardcore towers first before the golden towers. Most hardcore strategies don't necessarily need golden towers anyways and having Hardcore towers will make farming coins and exp much easier and quicker. Technically speaking, it's quicker to get all of the hardcore towers then to get one golden crate.

It's 2:45 am, what a perfect time to watch a new corso video

[sus_noob]

i want to point out some stuff:
- Warden currently has 2 devastating bugs, which make it a lot weaker, by that I mean A LOT. It's one of the worst towers right now, not being able to defend early game in MOLTEN, and can't even kill Molten Boss anymore.
- Crook Boss is unlocked at level 30, not 35
- You shouldn't really focus on grinding exp, there are still golden towers to get, which takes a lot longer than reaching level 150.

Any golden tower is extremely overpriced, but there is two you'll need, and need a lot.
Golden Scout have loads of value, place 3 of them, base level 0, it lasts quite a while on itself. This is gonna help you with coin grinds a lot more, especially if you want another golden tower, to flex or not to flex..
Though I can't say the same for golden pyro. He is extremely helpful, especially in hardcore. The decreased price means you can place him down one wave earlier than the regular version, which might not be much but it sure is helpful. Another thing is you won't need to max him out according to the strat, and that saves A LOT more money for you to spend on, because after that step you'll need to place rangers, and needless to say he's one hell of a money sucker.

But well you won't need to grind that much anyways, just have fun with the game and enjoy where you are.

I was woken up at 3 am from this notification so I will just watch the video I do not longer need sleep

[juast]

Man this is soo amazing when one expert at the game, tries to teach beginners how to get their favourite towers! This is very helpful, even for me, and many other noobs!

[funnyguy_]

man CORSO is such a good tds youtuber. gives tips, rankings, tutorials, and other stuff, very good commentator, W editor, and probably more other stuff. helped me quite a bit

I think turret is not op as it used to be. It used to be a S tier tower but now its like low A tier bc of placement limit

[RedEye]

Level 360+ player here, If you're a new player in tds I highly suggest to control your golden crate drops. At the beginning of the game you don't need to unlock all the coins and level towers so I just recommend not getting neither crook boss, cowboy, soldier, and pyro and just get minigunner because if you purchase your first g crate you either get golden scout (which is one of the best early game towers) or golden minigunner (which is one of the best late game towers) so you'll be happy regardless of what you'll get and you wouldn't get freaked by the rng because you got all towers before getting you first or second golden crate. But if you want which golden skin to have in order here's my take (G mini> G scout> G pyro> G cowboy> G crook boss> G soldier).

We are reaching level 1 with this one🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I dont even care what the video is about i love hearing this dude talk with his calming voice

[thuratun]

Corso forgot to mention this Necromancer is NOT hardcore tower.
It is a event tower you can buy it using gem.And it will only on sale during halloween.

[joj]

this might be because its newer, but i think grinding intermediate is actually faster than molten. this is because now molten gives 400 coins (evidence that it's becaues there are new updates), and intermediate gives 500. along with that, even though intermediate is definitely harder than molten, with a few good towers it's not that bad. also, intermediate is also a bit faster in my opinion than molten, because it has 10 less waves. that does give it even more difficulty, except i don't think it's that bad.

I'd recomend to teach them other stuff needed in your next video, like teaching them placements, how to use towers that give support (ranger, merc, exedra), how to use abilities well and the best way to get crates and such.

For gem farming, I prefer to play on autumn falling with military base, ace pilot, and pyro. Place 1 ace pilot where it can attack both sides of the path. Get it to lvl 2, and then start getting lvl 1 military bases. Skip waves 9, 10, 12, and 13 while getting 5 lvl 1 military bases. Get another lvl 2 ace pilot beside the first one, then place a pyro set to target last. Get the pyro to lvl 2. At wave 19, start skipping every wave, while getting one ace pilot to lvl 3. You should die at wave 21 to the mega slow with 27 gems in around 10 minutes. I do this just because it’s easy to remember and can be done solo.

Any OGs who are returning after years?

Now, lets talk about placement, as it is a HUGE issue on early levels throought the game.

At any point you do not want to place towers with gaps in between them

Place farms away from the path and outside of the main placement, so they do not obstruct any other tower placement. Same goes for the military base, it shouldn't be in the midde oif the map in any case, however you DO want to place it in the range of a DJ.

Now, for the main DPS towers placement, regardless if they are cliff or ground.
There are 2 main placement patterns popular in the game: Square placement and Hexagonal placement (also known as trianlge).

Both of them are self explanatory, you place towers as close to each other, however it should be noted that square placement is more popular on the maps with big rectangular places on the side of the road, like U turn, Pizza party and Badlands.
Hexagonal is used on irrational maps where it is best to fit as much towers as possible, since it consumes less space in general. Maps for the hexagonal pattern are PW2, Grass isle, Space city and Infernal abyss.

Good advice for preplanning your placement is to put towers in one corner of the road and growing the placement from it.

Do not worry about hanging towers from ledges, no matter cliff or ground, towers do not fall.

Also it should be noted that towers with bigger placement footprint should be placed outside of the main placement to not break the cluster. These towers are Farm, Military base, Merc base and Turret.

Fun fact: ALL towers with rectangular base still have a circular placement footprint, examples being Ace pilot, Pursuit, Farm and Military base.
