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.
  • Unlock order most players use: Card Trick (1) → Full Auto (3) → Project Mind (2) → Telekinesis (4).
  • Upgrade Card Trick first, then Full Auto; put points in the ultimate when you can.
  • First buys: Monster Rounds, Quicksilver Reload and Rapid Rounds.
