Tips
- Last-hit troopers and shoot the soul orbs they drop: souls are your gold and your level.
- Deny the enemy's orbs when you can: every denied orb is souls they don't get.
- Spend your souls at the shop often: an unspent 3,200 is a tier 3 item you are not using.
- Parry melee attacks when you see them coming: a good parry stuns the attacker.
- Unlock order most players use: Power Surge (3) → Static Charge (2) → Lightning Ball (1) → Storm Cloud (4).
- Upgrade Power Surge first, then Lightning Ball; put points in the ultimate when you can.
