Elemental Defender

Elemental Defender is a tower defense game where you build a deck, place units along a path and use cards to power them up as they attack enemies moving toward your base. Placing units and playing cards costs energy, so you manage your resources as you defend through each wave.

Energy and cards

At the start of each wave, your energy resets to its maximum. The energy cost for a unit or card appears in the top-left corner of its card. Some cards increase your current or maximum energy, giving you more options during a wave.

Elements and units

Units and enemies each have an element, which affects the damage units deal. A unit’s status shows these effects; for example, thunder units deal 150% damage to ice enemies and 120% damage to fire enemies.

Units have three basic stats: attack, range and speed. Attack determines damage, range determines how far a unit can strike and is shown by a blue circle when placing it, and speed determines the interval between attacks. Some units also have skills, which apply automatically as permanent effects, or specials, which become available after a unit attacks a certain number of times. You can set specials to activate manually or automatically in the settings.

Shops and difficulty

The shop lets you purchase items, cards and additional units. More units become available as you progress through the stages. You can choose a difficulty level for each stage; on Easy mode, you receive a random item every five waves.
