    iv'e been using pike-men/captain or peon/captain, i just can't get enough money saved up fast enough to afford giants, also the necromancers rip my giants apart, and the troll thing destroys my base pretty quickly... thanks for the help though
    i'll try something different...

    i've been doing this and not winning lvl 20.

    my pally is lvl 18.

    i buy mine, go out there, AOE attacks on the skeletons as much as i cna. i have 4 mines, i buy an archer tower to take out skeletons. then i buy balista, then balista, then wall. at this point i'm basically going out to take out the necromacners which spawn like EIGHT. so i'm screwd.

    Leveling up a couple of levels playing co-op/earlier levels will work wonders if all else is failing.

    Really best to go 5x on mine to start. Hold out for as long as possible before buying units, anything sent early is slaughtered. Forget archer towers, waste of time. Gotta get the skeletons solo up front.

    Here's what I did:

    Rune 75 gold/-12% build cost
    Mine 5x
    Kill, kill, kill til it's time to run inside and regen
    Steel wall
    Kill some more
    Dwarf hut (maxed)
    Riflemen (maxed)
    Blunderbuss (maxed)
    Repair (rate of loss pretty much covered and then some at 5x mine)
    First batch of dwarfs dies (sadly, but someone has to)
    By this point the herd is thinned (you're killing all you can during as well)
    Captain + pike x2
    More blunderbuss (spend, spend, spend) - they are deadly in a pack
    By a certain point the necromancers start wandering closer to the riflemens aim
    I didn't have to touch them, and the walls held fine
    By the end of it, it was a blowout destruction of constantly shaking ground from never ending dwarf gunfire
    Pikemen finished off the remnants beyond dwarf reach

    To the above, I've also added blacksmith on my engineer run for added pike power.


    Just remember, survive as long as possible before committing your forces, then unleash them as a suicide berserk squad. Which dwarfs seem to be perfect at.

    Just done Level 20 myself with lvl 20 paladin after loads of tries. :p

    Rune: 75 Gold/+Armour
    3 Mines
    3 Pikemen
    Ballista
    2 Riflemen
    Pikemen

    When the necromancers come you need to go behind and whack them toward your castle to bring them closer to your units or if you need to retreat, get ballista just before the ogre comes then riflemen to help pick it off while you kite then finish off remaining necros.

    My strategy for level 20 with Paladin was: build four gold mines and a blacksmith, after that just spam pikemen and make sure to use your skills effectively, i.e. use invulnerability to get near the necromancers and stun to stop the troll so your pikemen can kill him.

    Yeah more or less, I really didn't care that much, just bought them randomly. All pikemen would've been fine too :D

    Quoted the suggestions I'd like to see most. Especially the wall button, it should be fixed permanently.

    For a different perspective, I used lev 22 or 23 engineer and beat lev 20 after a few tries. Got +5 gold ASAP..used the fully upgraded invincible walls skill..2 fully upgraded mortar towers (for taking out mobs of skeletons). Rest with ballistas, and if mortar towers get destroyed were replaced with ballistas as well. Had 3-4 repair guys going. Had a mix of blunderbuss and riflemen. Upgrade/repair wall from time to time. Summoned catapult. I was using I think a +50 gold/+# crit (used this rune for the +50 gold to get me up and going).

    I ventured out to kill the necros only after a few were killed by the other units..but had to be careful in dodging their attacks.

    The hardest thing for me was surviving the mad dash of skeletons at first.

    Co-op mode gives lots of xp. I'm not sure about everyone else, but that's where I gain most of my levels.

    Whoa how are you getting these insane runes.

    I played over 100 games and got nothing better than an uncommon.

    I only have one char right now, 22 or 23 engineer. I've been playing a bunch of multiplayer games with strangers just for fun. The variety of people I play with is fun as i like to tweak how I play to my partners style, and keeps the games interesting and different. some are basically throw away games, but some are awesome when my partner and I think alike.

    My longest game was I think with a lev ~20 knight that kept leading enemies away, allowing me to save money and get a couple repair guys up. Felt like that was my longest game when not playing with someone ridiculously over leveled.

    I sold a lot of runes, and used the runes to try to smartly upgrading things that fit my play style, or into things I'm experimenting with. I guess I'm grinding through multiplayer, but I don't mind cause its fun having different experiences. The rune drops are pretty random for me, but I found some rare ones so far (no legendary yet).

    I get my legendary runes on endless and coop. The battle typically needs to last around 10 or more minutes. Your character level might have something to do with it also. I didn't see my first legendary rune until I passed level 40. Don't bother attempting to craft them. I probably spent around 600 gems and only got like 4 of them from crafting. Better to save your gems for the update when they come out with new content and farm your legendary runes in coop and endless.

    Well when the update comes, supposedly it will cost gems to unlock new characters and features so better start saving up.

    They said rune crafting would be better post patch too, and endless/coop legendary drops nerfed.
