Read the battlefield through tower decisions
The official description explicitly shifts emphasis away from player-character power and toward the towers. For a first session, that supports one safe principle: evaluate what each tower asks you to manage instead of assuming rarity or a copied tier list guarantees performance.
Expect active defending
Pause Skills are described as a way to parry enemies directly, while towers are said to reward intelligence and strategy. The evidence supports preparing for active decisions; it does not establish timing windows, cooldowns, damage or a universal placement sequence.
Check freshness before following advice
The game description warns that units can be buffed, nerfed or reworked. Use the dated updates record before relying on an old recommendation, and reject any guide that presents undated numerical claims without a traceable source.
