Learn to use each type's strengths to counter different enemy types, and adapt your strategy on the fly. Challenging Waves of Enemies: Face off against a variety of enemies, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. From swift foot soldiers to towering behemoths, you'll need to stay on your toes and adjust your tactics to survive.
