The DOMES
First of all this tier list is completely objective and my own opinion on which Dome is the strongest.
Laser Dome: EZ S tier Dome.
- The Laser Dome is so easy to use and it's simplicity is it's strength. It doesn't take much skill to use, however you still need to think about how you distribute your upgrades with this Dome.
- This goes well with repellant as you absolutely melt the mobs when the ability is active.
- And what it can attack on two sides!? Easily one of stronger Domes out there.
Overall a strong well rounded Dome.
Sword Dome: High A tier Dome.
- The second Dome to be added and a very different experience from the Laser Dome. It's close combat is strong at the start which also quickly falls off after a few waves. You also need to invest on stab upgrades later on to keep up with stronger waves.
- Imo this dome goes well with shield as it can protect you from projectiles while your slicing.
- Fast stab or Bomb tip is absolutely required to deal with flying enemies, Fast stab recommended.
Strong dome with some weaknesses, easily gets overwhelmed when too many monsters are attacking, experience from prestige runs. Long sword is also better than Heavy blade.
Artillery Dome: Mid A tier Dome.
- One of the two domes added in the new update. This dome is HELLA STRONG, IF you know how to use it. It takes skill to multi task two weapons at once but after a few runs I got the hang of it.
- Shield is your best bet since this thing may not be able to protect you from divers easily. Do the electro blast route. Or you can use orchard to keep monster in place and have homing missiles as your secondary weapon to deal with air enemies.
- If you're new to this Dome pick explosive shells, it has better splash to deal with swarms better but if you're good at aiming I suggest use monster buster as this is gonna be useful in the end game. It melts drillers and stags.
A dome with a learning curve but this is absolutely broken when used correctly.
Tesla Dome: C tier Dome.
- One of the new domes. This Dome looks cool but I have some issues with it - or it's just my skill issue. I know Domes should start out weak at the start but this things is too weak I think.
- The damage is horrendous but it makes up for it with abilities and cheaper upgrade costs. You are absolutely required to get the orbs upgrade to deal with swarms.
- The charge up time for every attack is a bit too slow. I think a quick charge upgrade should be implemented which makes it charge insanely fast but reducing damage as a balance but idk. Even with quick shot it's a bit meh.
- When you max out this Domes defenses it can handle stuff well but the air enemies tho, especially the divers. Shield is required for this dome to survive electro blast or reflection recommended.
A dome that may need buffing, but still it looks the coolest of the four domes.

I’ve been loving this game so far, great roguelite/tower defense hybrid with nostalgia from the motherlode days. I’m assuming the characters are locked to the different kinds of dome defense options, and there’s already one new character in development.
What new gadgets/characters/game modes would you like to see? I’m hoping for a character that can equip a power suit and go onto the surface to beat some alien ass. Something in the inspiration of the auto defense laser, a character than tinkers with a bunch of defensive sentry units
