#RADIANT DEFENSE MISSION 1 UPGRADE#

Our goal is to protect the Spiral reactor, so it’s a good idea to build a backup force there when the enemy gets close to the Spiral, these turrets won’t be distracted by anything else. It will simply shoot at the alien that was closer than the others. Which is why the correct placement and distribution of turrets is vital.Įvery turret prefers to acquire targets closest to the turret itself.Ī weapon won’t recognize which target is most important to kill at the moment. Too often a single unimportant runner distracts our best turrets, diverting them from the main alien mass, wasting their precious firepower as they rotate around trying to score a hit. As the waves of enemies get longer and tougher, we’ll need entire batteries of turrets to cover the route from vortex to the Spiral. That said, it would be foolish to place all of the responsibility on just a handful of Master turrets. Exact numbers are different for each weapon but there’s one rule that applies to them all the more costly the upgrade, the bigger the increase in firepower and efficiency. Upgrades mean more bang for less buck, literally.

#RADIANT DEFENSE MISSION 1 UPGRADE#

When you upgrade the weapon to the max, you get the firepower of seven turrets for the lower cost of just four. The combined cost of all the upgrades adds up to just around 3x the cost of a new turret. Upgrade your turret instead of building more of the same.Ī fully upgraded (Master) weapon is roughly 7x better than its freshly built (Basic) version. In almost all other cases it is significantly better to upgrade your weapons rather than to buy new ones. Should you buy a new turret or should you rather upgrade the one that you already have? In case there is a new type of threat coming and you’re going to need an entirely different type of weapon then do what the situation calls for. Keeping your spending at a minimum requires very careful investments into new weapons.

Saving 500$ to receive the maximum Efficiency Bonus (50$) is no small task, but it’s the one that’s guaranteed to pay off when the push comes to shove. If the aliens die too easily, it might be a warning sign that the money could’ve been saved for later and generate bigger Efficiency Bonus along the way. Efficiency Bonus received at the end of each wave is an essential source of income and it’s exactly +10% of the money you have saved.ĭo not overspend! Save as much as you can. The income from just the alien kills won’t suffice to buy the vast arsenal necessary to finish the mission with three stars.

One of the most important objectives in Radiant Defense is to keep your economy in healthy shape during the entire mission. May this guide help your cosmic fortress persevere and bestow spectacular punishment upon the unyielding tides of alien monstrosities. As mindless as our enemies are, they know no fear, they never retreat and they come without number. Even so, defending humanity against their infinite multitude is an overwhelming task. They are driven by hunger, blind rage and a simple urge to push forward, no matter the cost. The concepts of strategy and tactics elude our alien enemies.
