The Modern PERFECT TDS Loadout.

The perfect loadout. Since last July, we  have been getting so many comments about

when this video will return. And yet…it has. There are now 52 wonderful towers of TDS,

and each player can only bring a  maximum of 5 of them individually,

which is called a loadout. Sorry, you already knew  that? Too BAD, I wanted to say it again! Anyway,

for many, many months, players have been  searching for THE best loadout to use..and

the real question is…does it even exist?  Well, yes, yes it does indeed! Today, I’m

going to prove that no matter what level you are  at the game, there is a perfect loadout for YOU.

Before we even chuck any towers into a loadout  and call it a day, what would a perfect loadout

even look like? Definitely not you, I mean look  at y-. Just kidding, you’re beautiful! Well,

there are many factors that we need to consider.  How difficult will the gamemode be? What map are

we going to choose? Are we playing solo or  with other players? That is why we need to

separate the BEST loadouts in such categories.  One for survival gamemodes, one for Hardcore,

and one for some Special gamemodes. But even besides that, we can start to rule out

some towers that don’t have a chance of making the  cut of the best loadouts. So, we’re going to split

this video into two sections: The Loadout-Guide  Section, meaning we cover how to create the BEST

loadout based on specific conditions. And  the section you’ve all been waiting for,

the current, PERFECT loadouts you can  instantly chuck into your loadout,

that provide you the BEST performance  ever. Make sure to comment below your

prediction of what YOU think is the PERFECT  loadout of TDS! And also leave a like and

subscribe, please, it helps us out a ton! Before we actually see the perfect loadouts,

we need to actually create a guide based on  specific conditions like player count, maps,

and gamemodes to figure out how we can create the  perfect loadout, with the best towers, for YOU! By

the way, I originally wrote a section covering  the top meta towers in the game currently,

but since it took up a lot of time and is  somewhat irrelevant to the topic of this video,

I recommend you just check out our Google  Document below with the current list.

Anyways, let’s start off with our solo loadouts,  because those are the easiest to control,

as you’re just one player playing in the round.  For a gamemode like Easy, you’re probably a Newbie

at the game, which is completely alright by  the way! Or, you’re just one of those Level

500s coming to obliterate the Level 10s zone.  You really don’t need anything special here,

and neither do you want to bring any towers that  are too expensive, because you’re NOT going to get

enough cash to max ‘em out. So I would only bring  one early-damage tower and one damage tower here,

because, again, you won’t get much  opportunity to do anything more.

For Casual Mode, it’s kinda the same deal, but  you actually get a fair amount of cash in this

gamemode, especially in solo. I’d recommend  this gamemode for players that are starting

to obtain intermediate towers and want to gain  more coins per win, so you’re probably just a

Beginner. You can manage to bring a full loadout  here, so I would choose one early-damage tower,

two damage-towers, and one support tower.  You could opt to do one more damage-tower

and two support-towers, just make sure  your support towers are able to fill in

enough damage output to kill the Grave Digger. Intermediate Mode is mainly special just for

the amount of spam of enemies you see, so using  crowd-control towers is your best bet here. You’re

probably still a Beginner if you’re taking on this  gamemode, but I can see Intermediate Players play

this gamemode alone, as well. I would start off  with one or two early-damage towers to ensure you

can keep up with the mode’s pacing, and then bring  a crowd-control tower, if those two early-damage

towers aren’t enough to deal with the hordes  of enemies. Lastly, leave that last slot for

a support-tower, and you can also optionally  swap an early-damage tower for another support

tower. If you can deal with the enemy spam,  you’re basically good here, so don’t worry.

Molten Mode is similar to Intermediate mode,  just harder and has a few more enemy gimmicks,

and generally feels like an easier Fallen. I’d go  with the same advice as intermediate mode here,

you just may need more advanced towers (since  you’re close to being an Advanced Player)

there are better options at early-defending or  support than others, like how Brawler outclasses

Warden in early-damage, and how Minigunner  outclasses Militant in terms of solid damage.

For Fallen, like I just mentioned, it’s basically  a harder Molten Mode, so I’d recommend you’d get

two early-defense towers, one that you can  place a few of in the beginning, and another

that can defend the Early-to-Middle game. You’d  likely need one or two support towers, and I’d

definitely recommend one of them to be Farm, as  you’ll also be able to tell that Farm will be used

in a lot of our preset loadouts. Lastly, bring  a heavy crowd-control damage tower like Mortar,

Rocketeer, or even Pursuit to ensure that the  Fallen enemy-spam doesn’t catch you lacking.

Now, Hardcore isn’t typically a mode you’d solo,  but it’s still very possible to triumph solo

Hardcore, due to the fact that it still isn’t  reworked…developers, we need that rework really

soon. Because even a dumbo like me was able to  solo Hardcore recently with the meta towers.

From what I’ve learned about Hardcore, though,  is this: If you want to be able to solo it,

you need to focus on getting past Wave 25 in order  to even get a shot at killing the Void Reaver at

Wave 50. Waves 1 through 25 are arguably the most  strategically difficult part of solo’ing Hardcore.

You’ll need a good source of Hidden Detection  by Wave 10 for the invisibles, Flying Detection

by Wave 12 for the balloons, Lead Detection by  Wave 14 for the Leads and STUPID Lead Bosses,

a good source of damage/DPS by Wave 18 for the  Mega Slow, and yet another sufficient source

of Hidden Detection for the nasty 3 Shadow  Bosses that appear on Wave 25. There is a

combination of towers that we will go over that  can deal with these no problem, now you’d just

need to worry about getting two good sources of  DPS to deal with the bosses and Void Reaver. If

you already have a bunch of good DPS Towers, then  I’d recommend bringing Commander, that way you can

constantly give your troops a 50% fire-rate  buff, amplifying your DPS by multitudes.

Onto the Special Gamemodes, we’re not going  to cover Badlands II, because although it has

been solo’d, I’d recommend you just check out the  Quad-Silly Quickdraw Document Strategy instead.

But as for Pizza Party, that is a mode that is  relatively easy to solo on your own. The only

issues you’ll really have to deal with in this  gamemode is the buffed amount of health that the

different enemies have. After that, it’s really  just the Balloon Boys requiring Flying Detection,

and a lot of needed DPS in order to deal with  other bosses like the Commander that comes at

Wave 25. I’d recommend Ranger to deal with the  damage and the Flying Detection, Commander to

boost your DPS, and 2 more damage towers that you  can use as fast as possible, DJ Booth for economy

and extra buffs would also be significantly  advantageous when solo’ing this gamemode.

Lastly, as for Polluted Wastelands II,  it has received many tweaks and reworks,

but now, even Polluted Wastelands II is able to be  solo’d, even with No Special Towers! It is a very

quick-paced gamemode, as it only has 25 waves,  compared to other gamemodes with over 30. Anyway,

this gamemode’s gimmick isn’t needing to  utilize all detections (like Hardcore),

but rather attempting to deal with as much enemy  spam and high-health enemies as possible.

So, now that the solo loadout-guides are in place,  what about playing with other players? Well,

for the survival gamemodes, it doesn’t  matter what level you’re at in the game,

it is most likely you can handle Easy and  Casual Mode on your own. For modes beyond that,

it is nice to have other players to play with you  to ensure that you can clear the rounds quicker

and efficiently. A general rule of thumb is that  you don’t want to bring the same Support Towers,

unless it’s for personal benefit, like Farms.  So far as damage towers go, it doesn’t really

matter how many players participate per round, you  all can bring similar damage towers. It is also

definitely nice to have variety, such as plenty  of towers that cover Hidden Detection, plenty that

cover Flying Detection, and so on, and so forth. With that, before we go onto the final section,

take a look at these two maps’ entrance areas.  Which map seems like it has more efficient space,

meaning lots of towers can be placed in an  efficient spot? If you chose Wrecked Battlefield,

you’re absolutely right! Not only does Wrecked  Battlefield offer a lot of great placement spots,

but it also features lots of cliff spots  and a long path, meaning towers like

Ranger can entirely thrive in this map. Alright. Enough with the yappity-yap,

although I do hope you sat through  that, because it can help you with

your choices regarding towers, maps, gamemodes,  and teammates, based on your skill level of TDS,

and what gamemode you plan to play. But here is  what we’ve all been waiting for. What are the

PERFECT loadouts in each respective gamemode?  Let’s get a-move on and figure that out NOW!

Starting off with our Solo loadouts, we’ve got the  Newbie one already! This one is suited for beating

Easy Mode no problem, and is for all players  that have literally just begun playing! However,

I just bamboozled y’all, because the Scout &  Hunter duo is BACK again from the previous Perfect

Loadout to debut again! And you may be thinking,  but it’s been almost an entire year, why is the

loadout still the same?! Well, they barely changed  this mode at all, and a lot of the beginning parts

of TDS have been balanced for a while. Moving forward, we’ve got the Beginners

Perfect Loadout, AKA players that are basically  between the Levels of 25 and 50. On your own,

you’re probably able to conquer Casual and even  Intermediate mode, which is why you’re in luck,

here is what we got. We’ve got Rocketeer,  Military Base, Ace Pilot, Freezer,

and Farm. There are already 2 meta-towers  within this loadout, Rocketeer and Freezer,

alongside Farm. This loadout also offers Military  Base & Ace Pilot, two GREAT options for damage

at this level. Hidden Detection doesn’t even  become an issue for any of your towers that

may not unlock Hidden Detection because Ace Pilot  grants this detection to all towers past Level 4!

But if that loadout is NOT enough for you, because  you just want MORE and MORE power within your

loadout, you’re probably past Level 50, now being  quite the ADVANCED player yourself! At this skill

level, you’re capable of solo’ing Molten or even  FALLEN, all you need is a good loadout to get ‘ya

there! In this loadout, we’ve got Rocketeer  again, Ranger, the W-Tier Tower of Advanced

Towers (GO CHECK THE VIDEO OUT), a Support-Slot,  an Early-Damage Slot, and Farm again. The 3 preset

ones are self-explanatory, and the 3 of them are  meta-towers as of right now. For the support-slot,

we’ve got a hierarchy of which Support Tower  should be better than the other at this level,

and same for the Early-Damage. So, ideally, you’d  fill the Support Slot with Commander or Freezer,

depending on if you want buffs or stunning. But we all know there are just a few more towers

you can unlock past the Advanced Level. These  players that have unlocked all of the towers

are called the Super Advanced Players. The  players that have ascended to the maximum,

having every tower they need to create the most  PERFECT loadout for survival gamemodes anyone

has ever seen. This includes unlocking all of the  level troops, yes, that also means spending over

35,000 coins on a tower like Gatling Gun just for  the sake of owning it. All of the Hardcore Towers,

despite costing roughly 13,750 gems in total. But  the PERFECT loadout that we’ve came up with, that

can defeat survival gamemodes as tough as Fallen,  and probably one of the most versatile solo

loadouts out there, we’ve got…Rocketeer…Mercenary  Base…Engineer/Commander…Brawler…and Farm. And

pay attention, here, because although  being VERY similar to our last one,

there is plenty to go over with this new one. For the first few waves of a mode like Fallen,

you’re going to want the best Early-Damage tower,  which is Brawler. Their cheap cost efficiency

alongside melee capabilities, repositioning, make  them such a versatile tower to use. While you’re

using the Brawlers to fend off the first few  waves, you’re able to sneak in a bit of farming to

get your economy up, because a tower like DJ Booth  or Cowboy isn’t in a loadout like this one. Once

you get close to the Fallen Giant, you’re gonna  want to start placing down Rocketeers. [Now] you

can start working toward your Mercenary Bases.  What I didn’t mention is that Mercenary Base CAN

be interchangeable with other damage towers.  By using THIS hierarchy of damage towers,

you can determine which one you feel is best for  you. But Mercenary Base sits at the top of the

hierarchy since we’ve already got Rocketeer in our  loadout. Anyway, this is the guide I’d recommend

you level them up in, and here is also an ideal  unit-layout to use for each one to get instant

Flying Detection from the Riflemen, and a bit of  splash from the Grenadiers. Now you can start to

max out your Rocketeers and then your Brawlers to  ensure that you’ve maximized your current tower's

damage output before placing down Engineers  or Commanders to increase your overall damage

output. I prefer Engineer in this loadout because  Engineers alone deal sheer amounts of damage, at a

total of over 2,400 Damage Per Second, however,  this slot is also similar to Mercenary Bases’

meaning you can either choose to bring another  Damage Tower with you in this slot, like Ranger,

or you can choose to bring a Support Tower in  this slot, like Commander or Electroshocker. I

recommend Engineer overall because it provides  you with the extra DPS and Flying Detection

you’ll need to successfully kill the Fallen  King and his annoying little flying minions.

Here is the summary of our best survival gamemode  loadouts based on your disposition in the game.

But let’s check out some cool Hardcore and Special  Gamemode best loadouts to end off this video!

For Hardcore, I already went over what’s needed  in a loadout to clear Wave 25, and if you haven’t

figured it out already, the best combination  of dealing with that is Medics and Mortar.

This loadout we’re about to show originates from  this document strategy, so please check it out

and support the creators. Anyway, Medics are an  extremely cheap way to get Early-Damage in while

covering Hidden and Lead Detection. Once you  place a Mortar to Level 2 as soon as possible,

you’re able to deal with Flying Detection.  Now is when we introduce Swarmer & Commander

into the mix, getting a Level 3 Swarmer instantly  after getting six of these Medics to Level 4. You

can then get more Swarmers to max for the DPS,  get the rest of your Mortars and max ‘em out,

max out your Commanders, and now we have room  for Turrets, placing them around Commanders to

deal the most DPS possible, while only using  up 3 placement slots. You’re now able to fill

the rest of the map with Swarmers, and with  enough micro’ing medic, using Call of Arms,

and Swarmer’s Grenade abilities, you  should narrowly beat the Void Reaver.

For a mode like Pizza Party, even bringing towers  as simple as these, which are all non-special,

by the way, are capable of defeating this special  gamemode on your own. Cowboys can efficiently

deal with the beginning waves & your economy,  DJ Booth can be placed early for knockback,

more economy, or damage buffs, Rocketeer  & Ranger are our sheer sources of damage,

and you can even throw in another Support  Tower to aid the rest of your damage towers.

And lastly, so we can conclude the return  of this video, we’ve got Polluted Wastelands

II. I’m not really sure why you’d  want to solo this special gamemode,

unless you’re really looking for a challenge, but  I hope you have access to some Special Towers,

because if not, then you’d probably need a  beefy Skill Tree to do this without Special

Towers. According to this document strategy, so  please credit them for this, this is the perfect

loadout that you can utilize to solo Polluted  Wastelands 2. This strategy makes total sense,

because like I mentioned earlier, *Flashback:  Anyway, this gamemode’s gimmick isn’t needing

to utilize all detections (like Hardcore), but  rather attempting to deal with as much enemy

spam and high-health enemies as possible.*,  rather than something like Badlands II that

features three entrances and triple the enemies. And with that, we’ve covered all of the preset

solo loadouts you’ll ever need, regardless of  what skill level you’re at and regardless of

what gamemode you play. Just remember a perfect  loadout DOES NOT guarantee an easy triumph,

you need to make sure you utilize the loadout  accurately based on the game modes and goals

you’re trying to achieve in the game. But we hope  this video was helpful for you. I had a ton of fun

recreating this video in a new and more efficient  manner than last time. Please do leave a like and

subscribe, it helps us continue creating awesome  TDS videos for you all. Have a wonderful day,

and let me know in the comments how  well the loadout works for you!
