Save your gold: buy very limited upgrades and only those capable of directly hurting Umbra or needed to save you from being overwhelmed by Shade Elementals. You want your money to turn into DPS in the most efficient way possible. For each tower that Umbra blows up, build an Archmage or Crossbow Fort to replace it.

If it doesn't, sell a few unimportant towers after Umbra reforms the first time you need 1000-2000 gold rebuild the towers Umbra will destroy. The gold you save up during wave 15 should reach 1000 or more. You should be fine with the current setup, having survived 14 waves earlier.

Umbra does not move towards the exits (he summons Shade Elementals for this purpose), instead only teleporting between the main path and the plateau, where he is invulnerable to all attacks, including ones with unlimited range.Īfter his health is depleted, Umbra splits into ten Shreds of Darkness, which will move toward the plateau in an attempt to reform Umbra. After wave 15, Umbra is freed, kills Lord Malagar and attacks the player. Neither Umbra nor Lord Malagar can be attacked in this state. He's been gaming since the Atari 2600 days and still struggles to comprehend the fact he can play console quality titles on his pocket computer.Umbra is not made of shadows, shadows are made of Umbra.Īt the beginning of the stage, Umbra is encased in a huge crystal on a high plateau, with Lord Malagar attempting to free him.
