About X Factor

X Factor punishes both kinds of defence. Short-range towers only cover part of the map, and with spawns rotating every round they often sit idle. Global towers have to split their attention between two active lanes. Add an untouchable tunnel in the middle and erratic movement through small loops, and leaks can happen at any time.

Place a Sniper and a Dart Monkey, then Psi. Add more Snipers and a Village 0-2-0 by round 24. Remove the central stack around the 30s for a Village or Crossbow Master in the middle. A pair of upgraded Snipers and a Dartling handle round 40. Finish with Carpet of Spikes.
