Five Tower Defence Mistakes Beginners Keep Making

Tower defence looks like it's about towers. It isn't, really. It's about the paths, the timing, and knowing where the pressure will land three waves from now. Beginners tend to react instead of plan.

The first mistake is spreading towers everywhere. A wall of weak towers loses to a single strong choke point almost every time. Pick a kill zone and feed it.

Second, people upgrade too late. A fully upgraded tower in the right spot beats three new ones. Commit early to a few key positions and stop second-guessing.

Third is ignoring range overlap. Two towers that cover the same corner give you a beautiful damage stack. Learn where your ranges kiss and build there.

Finally, don't hoard resources for a rainy day that never comes. If you're saving through a wave you barely survived, you saved too much. Spend, adapt, and treat every failed run as free scouting.
