Enemy Types & Counters

Learn about all enemy types, their stats, weaknesses, and how to counter them effectively.

Ground Enemies

Standard ground-based enemies that walk along paths

Basic Ground Units

Standard enemies that follow ground paths. They can be attacked by both ground and hybrid units.

Best Counters:

Kriatu (Cheater) - #1 ground unit with Duelist trait
Rule (ROOM) - High ground DPS, free from BattlePass
Ronin Obito - Top 3 ground unit, free Day 7 reward
Any hybrid unit (Berserker, Jinoo, Dragon Silver)

Armored Enemies

Enemies with high armor that take reduced damage from standard attacks. Require armor-piercing units or high damage output.

Best Counters:

Kenpachi (Berserker) - Bypasses hyper armor, slows enemies
Units with armor-piercing abilities
High DPS units with Ruler trait

Air/Flying Enemies

Flying enemies that require air-capable units to counter

Flying Units

Enemies that fly above the ground. Can only be attacked by hybrid units, air units, or units placed on hills. Introduced in 'Hollowed Moon' stages.

Best Counters:

Spade (Donut) - Top 2 Air/Hill DPS
Cyborg (Fearless) - Top 2 Air/Hill DPS
Any hybrid unit (can attack both ground and air)
Zora - Great beginner Air unit with stun

Important:

Ensure you have air coverage before entering 'Hollowed Moon' stages. Playing with friends who can provide air support is also recommended.

Boss Enemies

Powerful boss enemies with high health and unique mechanics

Boss Mechanics

Boss enemies have substantial health pools and often appear at the end of waves or in special challenges. They require strategic placement and strong DPS to defeat.

Best Boss Killers:

Law (Rule/ROOM) - Amazing boss killer with teleport support
Berserker (Enraged) - Fast ramp-up damage
Kirito (Cheater) - High damage, especially in Virtual Realm
Units with boss damage bonuses or crit scaling

Strategy:

Focus all DPS on the boss when it appears
Use stun/slow units to delay boss movement
Position units to maximize damage uptime
Save active abilities for boss phases
In challenges, bring friends for drop boost (up to 60%)

Enemy Scaling & Difficulty

Understanding how enemies become stronger over time

Progressive Difficulty

Enemies continuously scale in strength as waves progress. In Infinite Mode, this scaling continues indefinitely, challenging you to optimize your team composition and strategy.

Difficulty Meter

In Story Mode, you can adjust the difficulty meter to increase challenge and rewards. Higher difficulties (300%+) multiply gem earnings but demand stronger units. Tailor the difficulty to what your current unit lineup can comfortably handle.

Counter Strategy:

Use scaling units (Jinoo, Dragon Silver) for Infinite Mode
Focus on units with infinite scaling mechanics
Prioritize traits that provide long-term power (Eternal, Sacred)
Etherealize units to unlock powerful passives
Equip maxed-out relics for substantial stat increases
