It's time for a rematch with Void

[InfernalUrsine]

Pretty cool vid you are probably inspired by that one guy who did a similar loadout and strat on 4 seasons

[XavierWeirdWorld]

DUDE WTF, I’ve literally seen a vid almost exactly like this before this one, this is the second time bro

[omarbkhaitan]

Thanks for the guide you got me my first solo hardcore win!!

[CyberMello]

i really hope someone has a easy strat or even possibly solo being able to complete that final pls donate challenge where you have to beat hardcore with 8 fully upgraded farms. (i already recently gave up doing it)

[BebasowyPL]

Military Base is underrated, I use this since 2020 and I never stop using it.

[AdamOrive-do]

I saw a video very similar with that but merc base is replaced with turret in four seasons map can i do turret? Edit: nvm i already beat solo hc ty for the strat crazrex

[ChristianBertoa]

They probably will make a hard-core rework, but they just don’t want to say it yet because they’re working on the molten rework. Get those hard-core towers fast because I don’t know if they even our I’m just theorizing that.

[chill_guy]

is the strat still doable after the pursuit top path got a cost increased?

[parker-mmz]

Why do I just start without the ready button?

[MinkAnn]

Can you make another video but with engineer?

[porkchop]

The best part of this strat is that this doesn't require any micro

[Poop-pigy]

can i ask you im still failing in mil base do you need skip in specific second spawn mill base

[piagrace]

Lessen I died to the early waves just military base like what I died the military base is taking so flipping long to spawn I follow the strat and still died

[rodcasimbalbedina]

Can you please make one with farm since there are still some of us doing the "pls defense" contract

[DucLe-fwvm]

Fun fact : level tower like pursuit and merc base are special tower bc u cant get it with coins
