Defense priorityProtect the pets and income that fund your next upgrade. Observe where players enter, how long they remain exposed and which route gives you time to react.
Map the approach
- Mark the shortest and least visible approach paths
- Time travel from the boundary to the egg area
- Note where turns, obstacles or guards slow movement
- Retest after a base upgrade or patch
Upgrade by measurable effect
Record income stability, reaction time and failed steals before and after one upgrade. Price alone cannot rank a base upgrade if the exact benefit is unknown.
Balance defense and progression
Overinvesting in a benefit you have not measured can slow pet income and Speed training. Compare the next base purchase with the expected session gain from the income calculator.
Study both sides
The best defense tests the same routes an attacker would choose. Read the stealing guide and use the run planner to understand the opposing safety margin.
