@@dr.facilier5186 It's a bit strange that it is converted entirely to ice, rather than simply adding ice on top of the electric damage. Could stand to be a bit more clear.
This hour long video honestly felt like 15 minutes. Very nice flow, at no point was this ever boring, the game is fantastic, the editing is on point, Tyler's commentary is very entertaining, everything about this video is awesome.
37:55 "Lightning Rune is excellent! Cant go wrong with that!" And he almost had it 1:01:01 .... almost..... You can even see it on the damage numbers the towers do.
Missile Towers are my favorite in the whole game. Their versatility and obscene range makes them a safe choice in pretty much any map so far. They synergize with most of the elements in the game, so artifacts and booster tiles that seem out of your specialization can still be accessed if you are in a pinch. Stacking four frost tiles or range/speed boosts beneath a missile tower is incredible. Or, there's the one artifact that summons Lightning bolts from the sky whenever you deal lightning damage? Just spam base missile towers, or the dirt cheap Drone Towers, and summon Raiden to the battlefield. Pair it with some Poison Showers across a winding maze, and nothing will ever get through.
BTW, the default priority setting above the tower selections not only sets future placed towers, but already placed towers (possibly only the once that haven't been individually set, haven't tested though)
Upgrading the missiles change their element so you lost power sometimes. I checked on the final wave in around minute 46 and one of em went from 8 electrical damage to 4 frost damage
@@GryphonBlazier still a loss nonetheless, a loss that costs money at that, the chill effect is negligible if you boosts missile launchers that are not in the electric boost cause most of the time enemies will already be chill
for an even harder challenge, try beating heroic with the sacred flame on which you can swap to by clicking on the flame when you choose your character. its an awfully painful experience but since you get a relic per stage the endgame gets pretty funny with it
the decimator upgrades are a little bit confusing when it comes to damage dealt: - the top path is for consuming poison stacks - the bottom path is for building up poison stacks in other words, the bottom path is the damage option, the top path is the utility option (unless you really want to have the +20 single target bonus)
Whenever you upgrade a lighting tower it changes its element and you lose your synergy and your lightning boost. You can see them lose damage whenever you upgrade the ones on lighting spaces.
I don't know about everyone else but I am loving this series. Super entertaining game and the hour long videos allow me to relish it. If anyone else agrees, make sure to like the video and comment so he knows.
I'm appreciatimg the genuine joy and enthusiasm you're having for some banger games lately. Your beeak did you well and you've come back stronger than ever!
You can set the default targeting of each tower type so that you don't have to configure each one you place. The button to do so is in the bottom left, just above where you buy towers.
Hope this game keeps getting updated. It gave me the same sense of joy that I had when playing bloons as a kid in the library at school on coolmath games.
In case you didn't know that Bone Desert heavily referenced to Warcraft III Orc Faction, from the units to even buildings like Stronghold from that game
A bit of feedback, on the off chance you'd want it: I love watching tower defense games, but I have to say, I almost skipped this video because literally nothing in the thumbnail or title suggested it's tower defense, or even the name of the game. At least for me personally, it almost meant I didn't watch it. Also while I'm at giving feedback, the game is amazing to watch, I loooove the long format, you are really spoiling us with the runtime and the editing is on point as always! Cheers.
It would be SICK if the game had a game mode where the enemies would take the MOST optimal route by taking as little damage as possible and not necessarily the fastest. They would for example avoid squares with many towers range on. this would make the strategizing even more complex!
Hi AR! Someone may have taught you this already, but just in case: You can change the default targeting per tower type by clicking default priority just below the relics. Another banger video
You can set default priorities on towers. right click the tower on the bottom left. Also, when you upgrade a missile tower, it loses electric damage type. So you lose all synergies with it.
Tyler: “next time I’ll use a different synergy” Also Tyler: “and now I’m just gonna spam these icicle towers” But seriously, I’m curious about the other synergies
38:01 is it just me or does he accidentally pick a tower literally every single time. They should make that a confirmation button or something because it happens so often.
I played this game a lot, and let me tell you, the missile tower is completely busted. (Especially the ice missiles with the black ice and voodoo doll relics)
You can manually change the default targeting priorities of each tower clicking on the Default Priority button Would probably save you time setting icicle tower priority
good ol' Tyler not noticing stuff. Going for electric boosts while obliviously removing the electricity from the only tower that has it Edit: he didn't mess it up too badly... even if he didn't notice
i have no idea what is even a downside for it. It's just good singletarget... but also it shoots really fast so it's fine vs crowds. Very weird design choice
Well i guess you just got rid of my only worry about getting it i was thinking id get uninterested if there was just the Forrest area now i know there is more so guess im getting it today i also really like how the tiny relic icons jiggle whenever they are proced showing how useful they are being at least thats what i think is happening
First of all, element boost tiles boost the tower’s damage if its *damage type* aligns with the type of element that tile boosts. If this element is changed by an upgrade, for example, a missle tower (electric) being upgraded on either path will change its damage type to either fire or ice, nullifying it’s original elemental boost (electric) and making it compatable with either fire or ice. Same goes with artifacts. One other thing I’d like to note is yes, while the decimate tower gets only a 30% boost from a single poison tile and having a lower fire rate, it both has longer range and AOE, allowing it to attack for longer and also to hit more enemies, making it generally a better option to be boosted, same goes for other large towers in spite of their boost reduction. I am not saying this as a screw you, I am saying this because I wish for you to succeed and not have to go through extra difficulty from decisions that may weaken your offense, especially when using sacred flame on heroic.
Tyler having lightning towers and being super excited for lightning synergies and buff tiles: "I'll upgrade all of them to ice damage!"
YES
It hurts to watch T_T
"Ooh, a lightning tile for the missiles" *upgrades them to ice damage*
The damage numbers even go from yellow to blue :')
@@dr.facilier5186 It's a bit strange that it is converted entirely to ice, rather than simply adding ice on top of the electric damage. Could stand to be a bit more clear.
@@ninjathis3009 it is pretty clear already
It literally says "converts to X damage", couldnt be more clear @@ninjathis3009
@@ninjathis3009 it says "CONVERTS to ice damage" not adds ice damage or something vague like that
Tyler talking about a synergy AND THEN INSTANTLY REMOVING IT should be his brand at this point.

When you upgraded the missile towers on electric boosts, i'm pretty sure you nullified the boost by it being ice, not electric.

Tyler whyy! When you give the missiles ice damage you remove your lightning synergy, and it doesn't benefit from lightning damage bonuses either
You know when Tyler gets serious when he wants it harder, faster, stronger!
We all love it when Tyler goes to the rock hard bone desert!
work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger
@@TheHollowKnightInQuestion harder better faster stronger our work is never over
Yeah he knows a solid D whens he sees one
Especially when he's wacking mobs with a hard D.
BTW, the default priority setting above the tower selections not only sets future placed towers, but already placed towers (possibly only the once that haven't been individually set, haven't tested though)
sadly it overrides past individual turrets if you update the default priority not just future
It would be nice if you could click and drag a box, or shift select turrets and only set their priorities
Tyler’s efficiency is gonna skyrocket once he sees the default priority button
This game seems super simple but shockingly complex. Curious how much this game will evolve...
Agreed, I know there’s been tower defense rogue likes before this, but this feels like an amazing refinement of the genre.
Tyler: I want a harder challenge.
Also Tyler: Self debuff by changing tower property.
Game: You already did it yourself.
Upgrading the missiles change their element so you lost power sometimes. I checked on the final wave in around minute 46 and one of em went from 8 electrical damage to 4 frost damage
While true, the upgrade also adds more missiles, and the chill effect. 8x10 to 4x15 is still a downgrade, but not as much as you'd think.
@@GryphonBlazier still a loss nonetheless, a loss that costs money at that, the chill effect is negligible if you boosts missile launchers that are not in the electric boost cause most of the time enemies will already be chill
@@GryphonBlazier This is also ontop of losing the electric poison synergy as well

Its just suprising how funny Tyler can be sometimes
13:40 "Enhanced the zag here, ooh yea, put the penis block down"
the zag or the jag?
It's also funny how surprising he is!
the decimator upgrades are a little bit confusing when it comes to damage dealt:
- the top path is for consuming poison stacks

This is the best tower defense game I've seen in my life.
Facts
[Insert tower defence game title]:
imo bloons is better but I can see why u think that
stop it my roguelike budget is cooked already
I love how Tyler finally started to use talents after 3 videos
I'm appreciatimg the genuine joy and enthusiasm you're having for some banger games lately. Your beeak did you well and you've come back stronger than ever!
19:32 Am I wrong, or is that 3x3 a + shape, and thus NOT getting bonuses from those two spots?
Edit: nvm he figures it out at 21:00
and he messes up the footprint of the tower again at 25:56
Correct, it's shaped like a + and it's definitely not getting the poison buff
You can set the default targeting of each tower type so that you don't have to configure each one you place. The button to do so is in the bottom left, just above where you buy towers.
21:56 welp now I will re-watch all of potion craft for nostaliga
Tyler going for the "I'll challenge myself by removing my best synergy for a mid chill effect" el classico
All these years after Bloons, and Tyler comes back to spamming dart towers
The super funky man club is here?
Always has been
47:03 why TF would you make it ice WHEN IT IS ON 2 ELECTRIC BOOST TILES, YOU MADE IT WORSE 😭
Thanks for producing another video of that game. I really enjoy it a lot.
I was there Gandalf, I was there before a minute passed.
Tyler is wearing his favorite shirt. Everyone cheer for favorite shirt Tyler
50:47 "Tree fiddy!"
Hope this game keeps getting updated. It gave me the same sense of joy that I had when playing bloons as a kid in the library at school on coolmath games.
Been loving your videos on this game, please post some more!
i really hope tyler keeps playing this game ad infinitum, i want this to be the next bloons on his channel
In case you didn't know that Bone Desert heavily referenced to Warcraft III Orc Faction, from the units to even buildings like Stronghold from that game
Love how all his relics were poison synergy but in the end dude brute forced it with discounted electric towers
59:10, the editor missed the chance to do Tyler edited as Dwight Schrute yelling "Butlicker, our prices had never been lower" 😢
There is a default priority on the left above the tower if for the dart towers you want it autmatically on highest HP that is how you do that
30:28 "You were defending your flame from invading enemies with your pals theotherdayyyyy..."
24:12
Broke: "More money, more probems."
Woke: "More money, more poison."
that lochness monster "tree fitty" joke was so obscure. also, he did the ISAB "gogogogo" thing at 53:56

I tried watching nl play this after Tyler's last video on this,but as much as I like nl it was just too painful

Emberward has immense potential for an early access roguelike I am really looking forward to how they develop!
love this game so far. I have found so many fun games from you!
I absolutely LOVE the spam strategy because the towers change prices :D

I like to think that if you completely blocked the path, the enemies would just start digging through.
like everything evolves to crabs, every run evolves into icicle towers
oh my god an HOUR of aliensrock content? AND its a tower defence game? AAAANNNDDD ITS A CHALLENGE? my god, we have reached the peak everybody...

If only the boss decided to run at you from the start 😂
I believe that upgrading the lightning towers to ice damage makes your synergy worse.
One thing I always say about Tyler, He sure has a massive path....
A perfect run, thanks! 💖
Oh I didnt expect to finish this video in a single session...
And yet, here I am at the end of the video. Nice.
Another reminder that you can set default priority for each tower so you can set your poison darts on highest HP by default :D
"i wanted more challenge"
*draft icicle tower*
Challenge is over
i have no idea what is even a downside for it. It's just good singletarget... but also it shoots really fast so it's fine vs crowds. Very weird design choice
Hell yeah! Looking forward to the next one
Well i guess you just got rid of my only worry about getting it i was thinking id get uninterested if there was just the Forrest area now i know there is more so guess im getting it today i also really like how the tiny relic icons jiggle whenever they are proced showing how useful they are being at least thats what i think is happening
Tyler when you tell him there will be zig zags at the function
Did not realize this was an hour long till it was over
I love this game! could watch 20 more episodes
really enjoying watching you play this game
When Tyler gets serious his shirt changes forms
Tyler still has fun with Tower Defense games apparently.
The Bone Desert sounds like a "Your mom joke"
keep this game up and tyler might play bloons td6 again
When I pick that relic its just all expensive all the time.
Hyped to see the next video title : bring on the chimps mode !
We need a pure RNG run with both the small and large dice towers!
These videos have such nice editing
Finally, the antidote to Northernlions videos.
With how this comment section looks you'd think Tyler was upgrading the missile towers into glue gunners.
I think the "chill" effect is inherent to Ice type towers
Misclicked. Mentally deduct one view from the total, please.
i intenionally watched the viceo twice, ignore the previous comment
Finish it. Dont run from your mistake like a coward
Misclick the subscribe button
And misclick the like button
Mentally deduct one from the total sounds like an ai overlord way of telling someone to kill themselves
Sacred flame+heroic is a brutal early game
Isab was right. The 00 dart tower spam is amazing.
more videos from this, also maybe you could try sometimes Tower Factory, I think you would enjoy it
