When you start the first level of Soulkeep, the game gives you two main towers: the Tarantula Loom and the Gloom Owl. These are your first lines of defense against the Fiends that are coming to attack you, including terrifying creatures like the Blood Queen, who are not easy to defeat and require careful tactics.
On my first try, I quickly learned that the location of the tower greatly affects the outcome. It's not enough to just place the tower and that's it; you need to place it in a smart spot that will hit the largest number of enemies. The Tarantula Loom isn't very powerful at first, but it has the advantage of slowing down enemies, which keeps them under fire for longer and gives the second tower a chance to finish them off.
As for the Gloom Owl, it was the tower that truly felt its power. Its attacks are fast and its range is wide, especially after I upgraded it. It became like a standing machine gun, calmly repelling attacks. As towers evolve in the game, their differences become clear, and upgrading isn't a luxury. It's essential if you want to progress.
The most important thing I learned in the first level was that you need to think well before placing any tower. You need to ask yourself Will this place cover a large number of Fiends? Does this tower need to be upgraded before the next wave? and Every small decision has a major impact on the outcome.
Facing Fiends, especially those like the Blood Queen, isn't easy, but with proper planning and smart use of towers, you'll be able to repel them and win the battle.
