Orcs Must Die! 2: The 5 best tips

Orcs Must Die! 2 can push the best gamer to its limits. With our tips, however, you can survive the most violent waves of opponents.

1. Paladins and archers in Orcs Must Die! 2

You usually use barricades to stop intruders. However, paladins can also be very useful in some cases.
Depending on the onslaught, place one or two paladins at the gate and strengthen your combat strength with a few archers. This combination can withstand most monster waves. Be careful, however, that paladins and archers are damaged.
Combine this lineup with some slowing traps and barricades to survive heavy waves.

A very effective combination is the tar trap in connection with the flyer. Place the carpet of tar directly under the swing trap to kill passing orcs.
You should upgrade the swing club as much as possible. Then this is almost unbeatable.
If you also set a trap that does damage (e.g. acid trap), there are very few orcs of the deadly trap combination.

It is best to use the Blitzring or Eisring as a secondary weapon.
With the Blitzring, you can easily weaken large enemy waves. A chain lightning damages many orcs at once.
In addition, you can use the Blitzring to summon a thunderstorm over bundled opponents. This causes great damage.
You should choose the ice ring if you also want to freeze large bosses. This is usually not possible with traps. In addition, you can kill numerous flying enemies at once with the ice ring.

In most cases, you should choose the Trap Weaver.
Units receive additional abilities with this upgrade. For example, Paladin units or Guardians regenerate life points.
In addition, physical traps become stronger and the cooldown (cooldown) is reduced.
If you choose the Spell Weaver, you can use your elementary ring very often. The upgrade is worthwhile, for example, if you have to freeze a lot of bosses with the ice ring or if you want to kill a lot of enemies with a thunderstorm at narrow points.

If you cannot create a map, you can first play it on the "Easy" difficulty level.
Pay attention to bottlenecks and curves in the map. After you have found your tactics, they also create the hard level of difficulty.
In addition, remember to collect as many skulls as possible. You can use these to upgrade weapons, spells and traps. This also makes complex levels easier for you.
