Wifun's strategy ---- early game (level 1-18)

`***so you choose to start.***`

`***ready?***`

`***let's go.***`

As it is the early game, I won't discuss much about it, instead, I will just give you the guide, and you should just follow it. :)

**IMPORTANT: THIS STRATEGY ISN'T THE BEST STRATEGY AS IT MAKES YOUR BASE OVERKILL THEREFORE IT WASTES GEMS. YOU CAN TRY TO UPGRADE THE DEFENSES LESS (9 LEVELS BELOW YOUR BASE) AND NOT PLACING ANY DEFENSES BEFORE DAY 39. BUT THAT NEEDS MANY EXPERIENCE, AND NOT EVERYONE CAN HANDLE THAT. THE CURRENT RECORD IS GET LEVEL 18 AT DAY 96 WHICH MADE BY ME AND YEET---.**

P.S. This guide can let you get level 18 before day 105, and if you want to be faster, make your own guide that fit yourself most!

## level 1-13 (easy part)

It is where the game began, I hope you can done this part before day 40.

### level 1

Click the tutorial button to open the game.

Why?

It provides 1500 gems to us which boost your progress.

It will force you to upgrade to level 2,

so...

### level 2

After complete the tutorial, immediately press 'pause'.

Then place all of your gem mines ---- place them as close to your base as you can.

And upgrade them (don't forget to use transporters),

then just wait for level 3.

### level 3

You should get level 3 before night 2 start, Again, put all the gem mines and max them.

You will face the next wave of zombies, but that level 1 cannon will take care of them.

Then, you can wait for level 4.

### level 4

Same as level 3, you should get level 4 before night 3 start, Again, put all the gem mines and max them.

~~lol, you need to do this step everytime before you reach lvl 25~~

Night 3 is also very easy, if anything is going to be destroyed, sell it and immediately add it back.

Then, you can wait for level 5. (P.S. don't even try to use arrows)

(Maybe you can add some more level 1 cannon.)

### level 5

Same as level 3,4, you should get level 5 right before night 4 start, Again, put all the gem mines and max them.

Wait... you will get something on day 5...

You will get skill point everyday after day 5

Spend them on 'mining' path,

then you can wait for level 6.

### level 6-8

It is a boring part, you can just copy what you did on level 5.

1). upgrade the base

2). place all the gem mines

3). max them

4) wait for the next upgrade

Also, remember to keep all iron mines, cannon balls makers and cannons 5 levels below your base.

And put all the skill points into the mining path.

After you reach lvl 7, start to put walls around your base. keep them 6 levels below your base.

the day 10 boss should be easy as you should reach level 7 at that time.

### level 9-13

do everything I told you on 'level 6-8', but at the same time, you should make some outpost.

it should look like this:

W=walls **G**=gem mines O=ores L=lightning towers T= transporters N=nothing

*N N **W** N N*

*N **W*** **G *W*** *N*

***W* G O G *W***

***W*** **L G T *W***

***W W W W W***

yes, use lightnings.

keep them 5 levels below your base, and replace cannons with them.

at day 13 and 26, zombies will upgrade, but no need to afraid them. they will melt in front of lightnings.

Also, at *one point*, instead of keep walls 6 levels below your base, keep them 7 levels below your base.

that point should be right after you reach level 11.

then, you can move to the next part.

(P.S after you maxed the mining path (except the 50 points one), go for the transport path.)

### little tips

1). You can pause to place gem mines and to upgrade them, therefore you can waste less gems.

2). As I said before, don't max everyhing. actually put as less defenses as you can is better.

(but it is very hard)

3). Remember not to put too much things e.g.(iron mines)

Keep them 5 levels below your base, ~~and place about (0.2+(0.01\*base level))\*(base level^2) of them.~~

NO.

there is a more easy way.

OPEN THE 'ADVANCED UI' and try to make every numbers positive but as close to 0 as you can.

4). don't flex in the game chat. or you will die.

## level 14-17

This is a funnier part, and I will start A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION.

Firstly, make sure you are <48 days and has a level 14 base

If you are not, sorry, but you need to start a new save.

You can still use this guide, but some late game tips might not working. (it is because you don't have good skills on the game therefore you can't reach the late game quickly)

I won't use a list on this part, instead, I will write something like an essay.

### Skill tree

So, actually, the mining path of skill tree is very expensive ---- mostly because of that 50 points skill. Therefore, we won't upgrade the 50 points skill, and we will just go for the transport path of the skill tree. The aim of this is to get the 'warp' skill, and it is very useful in the midgame. After we got the warp skill, you can just go for factories or back to that 50 points skill, but you can just randomly choose the skills after that, as it is not important to your progression AT ALL.

### layouts

after you get the 25 points mining skill, your outpost layout should look like this:

*N N **W W** N*

*N **W L T W***

***W G*** **G G W**

***W* G O G *W***

***W*** **G G G *W***

***W W W W W***

### Progress

**Well, just do everything you did in 'level 6-8'.** It is very normal that you need to take more than 10 days to get all the gems you need for upgrade even you placed all of your gem mines, so no need to worry about that. I hope you can get level 18 before day 100 with this guide, but here is a little reminder... After you reached level 17, make walls 5 levels below your base, and make towers 6 levels below your base. At the same time, put 15 shield makers AND up them to lv 15. At this time, your defendses should be strong enough to get to day 100.

### That's it?

YES. I don't recommend take the entire map before level 18, and you can easily get to day 100 with this setup. Also, although every 13 days zombies will upgrade, this setup can handle that easily, and you can move to next part.

## Level 18

I assume you reached level 18 before day 105, and what make it so special, is you can take over the map now.

The strategy still keep the same too.

### Take over the map

Firstly, make sure you have placed all of your gem mines and maxed them. Then, you can choose a night, after all zombies dead, you can start your work. The first thing you should do is sell all of the walls and lightnings, then move te the edge, hold Shift, and start to place new walls.

Your layout should look like this:

W=walls L=lightnings N=nothing

layer 3: **L N N N N N N N L N N N N N N N L N N N N N N N L**

layer 1: **W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W**

**basically 1 layers of walls and every 8 cells, place a lightning.**

**WALLS SHOULD AT LEVEL 13 AND LIGHTNINGS SHOULD AT LEVEL 12**

THEN, YOU CAN ENTER THE MID GAME!

## Conclusion

Actually, easy mode doesn't have many strategies in the early game. It is mostly about 'Are you careful?', if you are careless, then it will be hard for you. And I am pretty sure that everyone can reach level 18 before day 160 if you use my guide. Level 18 before day 100 is also possible, but you need to play the game perfectly. The early game ends after you reach level 18 and took over the map, as you defenses are very strong at that time, and you will enter the mid game.

Good luck on the mid game!
