Deck · 4 towers for 8 spots

Tower	Code	Spots	Role	Why
Fuerte de Ballesteros	FB	×3	Boss killer	Physical boss killer for Einar and Capo. Fast shots that also hit Águila Salvaje and Planeadores Bandidos. Cetrero boosts nearby towers. Buy Aluvión at NIV3: 20 hits of 471–538 every 15 s.
Mago Arcano	MA	×2	Boss killer	Magic burst for Merodeador and Asaltante, which have physical armor. A second boss killer at the exit.
Gema Llameante	GL	×2	Main damage	Main damage. The beam melts the brutes and Triturador, and Llamado Eldritch blocks Tramposo.
Mecha de Batalla	ME	×1	Support	Poder Mecánico keeps nearby towers from being stunned or disabled: your answer to Torre de Granja and Triturador's rocks. Misil Avispa does true damage. Put it in the most central spot.

Boss killers go next to the exit. Main damage goes where the path passes on several sides. Support goes in the most central spot. Early towers go near the gates.

Build & upgrade order

1. Stages 1–2: build Gema Llameante at NIV1 on the best Main-damage spot. Then build the first Fuerte de Ballesteros at the exit for Arquero Bandido and Águila Salvaje.
2. Stage 2–3: build Mecha de Batalla on the Support spot before your rival can roll Torre de Granja or Triturador. Take Gema to NIV3 and buy Llamado Eldritch, which blocks Tramposo.
3. Stage 3–4: build Gema #2 and the first Mago Arcano before Merodeador and Asaltante arrive. Mecha to NIV3 (its aura grows from range 100 to 160) with Misil Avispa.
4. Stage 4–5: fill the remaining Fuerte and Mago Arcano spots and take them all to NIV3: Aluvión on Fuerte, Rayo de la Muerte on Mago Arcano.
5. Stage 6: Sabotaje on Einar (magic armor), then Golpe Definitivo. Against Capo, use Golpe right away before he hires more bandits.

Level-3 upgrades to buy

Tower	Buy first	Then	Why
Fuerte de Ballesteros	Aluvión (220)	Vista Corta (180)	Aluvión fires 20 hits of 471–538 physical damage every 15 s, about 10,000 damage in one burst. That's your best boss killer for magic-armored bosses. Vista Corta sends hawks to the same spot on your opponent's side and cuts the range of the tower built there by 17% and its damage by 20%. Buy it second, or first if your opponent has a dangerous tower on that spot.
Mago Arcano	Rayo de la Muerte (168)	Teletransporte (190)	Rayo de la Muerte is the boss killer (5,506–6,730). Teletransporte sends 4 enemies back 1.7 tiles.
Gema Llameante	Llamado Eldritch (180)	Gema de Multiplicación (210)	Eldritch blocks the path and does true damage. Multiplicación splits the beam across 2 targets, which is worse against a lone boss and better against swarms. In Arena 15, buy Multiplicación first.
Mecha de Batalla	Misil Avispa (205)	Descarte de Residuos (160)	Misil Avispa does 1,649–1,915 true area damage. Descarte slows by 40%. The anti-stun aura is automatic.

Spells

Golpe Definitivo

Save it for Einar or Capo. Hit Capo fast before he hires more bandits.

Sabotaje

Cast it on Saqueador or Einar, which have magic armor, so your Gema and Mago Arcano can hurt them too. Or cast it on Merodeador groups to help your Fuerte.

Ráfaga Solar

Use it on dense bandit groups and on the boss's escort.

Hero

Magnus Rompehechizos

Tormenta Arcana does true damage (14 hits of 404–606 in a 120 area), so it ignores both the magic armor of Saqueador and Einar and the physical armor of Merodeador and Asaltante. His ranged attack hits for 1,312–1,481, and he respawns in only 12 s.

Where to keep him and when to move: He's fragile (3,370 health, 15% armor), so keep him behind your Fuerte de Ballesteros and never in front of Saqueador. Use Teletransporte to jump to whichever lane is in trouble. Cast Tormenta Arcana on the thickest bandit group, and use Espejismo's illusions to block Tramposo when it tries to run past. Because he respawns fast, it's fine to trade him for a boss kill.

Boosters

Once per stage you pick 1 of 3 boosters. Commit to 1–2 of them so they level up. All boosters of this arena

Good picks

Torre de Granja

Rival's towers

Turns your rival's towers into useless farms for a while. The strongest pressure pick here.

Triturador

Units → rival

Very high health, physical armor, and its rocks disable your rival's towers and units.

Planeadores Bandidos

Units → rival

Fly over defenses and hit hard: good against soldier-heavy rivals.

Golems Acorazados

Units → rival

High-health physical-armor group: good against physical-damage rivals.

What your rival can send you: Your rival can turn your towers into farms (Torre de Granja) or disable them with Triturador's rocks: that's why Mecha is in this deck. Planeadores Bandidos fly: Fuerte handles them.
