You will experience playing different type of tower defense war game with LINE Rangers where you are defending just a single line as well as watching all of the quirky and silly LINE characters on how they engage battle. Being a new set up of playing tower defense, we believe that you really need also a brand new strategy guides of playing this tower defense to play it effectively.
1. Add more friends. Just a rule of thumb in playing in social games as a matter fact the more friends in your list the more compensation you will earn. Just like with other LINE games, there is a currency that you are only able to receive once you help and get helped by other players. This is to promote the social feature of the game while using their players to invite other users to play the game. Since you already knew the rule, now you need to think about the application of it by answering the question of how we can get lots of friends. Just don’t forget that this is not about adding friends in your list without minding if they are active player of LINE Rangers or not or they are willing to exchange the favor with you. Most of the time, that is the mistake of those who are just adding random friends. Here you can write your request on the comment form below or find the official app page of LINE Ranger on social network and look for players who are willing to play the game with you. By exchanging a help you will gain friendship points that you can use to purchase new rangers as well as you can also summon your friends in battle to help you in tough fight. Just tap the friend button located at the top left of your screen during a level and some of their rangers to assist you. Go to the Friends menu and see that you are able to send them help for a total of 80 friendship points.
2. Rangers Day Bonuses. Thanks to June 18, 2014 update as LINE Rangers as they add a new feature of giving their players a daily bonus upon completing such task. So here’s the compensation you will get based on what day you are playing:
Tuesday – By means of completing a stage, this will give your team a double experience points.
Wednesday – This will double the drop rate of finding treasure by completing such a stage.
Thursday – This is your day for getting lots of coins as you complete a stage this bonus will let you earn double coins.
Friday – Upon combining all rangers to level them up, you will be given and double EXP points.
With this day by day compensation you can plan all the way what you should do for a certain day of taking advantage with compensation.
3. Collect as many rangers as possible. Upon completing every level, you will be granted an opportunity to roll a roulette and earn rewards at random rate. Actually upon playing the game and experience twisting the roulette, you will say to yourself that you can use a good timing to get what you really want. In roulette you will see different rewards but you should focus on getting additional rangers since you can level up your existing rangers with extra ones. There is also another method of getting more rangers using Gacha machine. This will give you the basic tier of 1 star through 3 star rangers and it will cost you 100 friendpoints to use. The next rangers’ tier is from 2 star to 4 star that will require you to pay 10 rubies to use. Rubies stand as the premium currency in game while you will see players who wish to download LINE Ranger because they want to cheat the game for unlimited rubies. Being a premium currency, you need to spend real life cash to add rubies in your account. You can also collect all rangers in one set to get 5 free rubies every time. From here you should check your collection page to see which ones you have and what is the next ranger you need to acquire to complete the list.
4. Strategize a well-balanced team. There is nothing more great strategy than a balanced team. Think about rangers come into 5 different class and the only thing you need to do is to create a balanced team from them. For you to create such team, you need to understand every field of rangers that might come such as: Health, Attack, Speed, Splash, and Balance. For health, this corresponds for rangers having a very high HP that you will usually put as frontliners taking up most of damage. Attack are rangers that can inflict great amount of damage against enemies. These units are usually with ranged while having low HP is their disadvantage in game. Splash rangers are those who can attack groups of enemies into multiple targets at once. Speed rangers are possessing a decent damage as well as speed. And finally the balance rangers that play all aspects from other rangers in mediocre.
Knowing the kinds of rangers you can use in game can let you formulate a good strategy. As you notice every ranger has their own advantage and disadvantage in game while your strategy will be based on keeping the disadvantage on ranger while maximizing the advantage of it.
5. Use cheap units for your initial strategy. We consider that in the beginning phase of your gameplay, you don’t have all class of rangers or you can actually get the perfect balanced strategy as a matter of fact you really don’t need well stabilized strategy on the beginning. Actually you can use cheap units to win the game on those beginning level. Try to use this phase to save more resources for more challenging level later on. Technically, using this low-cost rangers at the beginning phase, this will let you able to churn out several health rangers to let them give you time in raising a level of your mineral production rate for more powerful and expensive rangers. You can also consider a strategy of sending health rangers first and then send attack and splash rangers behind them. Of course health rangers or tankers will take all the damage while nukers or attack rangers will do the damage.
6. Don’t forget to upgrade your rangers and tower. As a beginner, you will never think of raising the level of your rangers as well as your tower but as you make progress in game, you will say to yourself that your current effort is not enough to handle your enemies. In the beginning phase you can take the battle out of number as you go in depth, upgrading is your key to victory. By just going to upgrade menu, this will allows you to empower a certain features. And the most important features in game that you should upgrade are production rate together with max limit. These both features will allow you to send more rangers at faster rate. You can also upgrade missile power too but just leave tower HP upgrade as you don’t need this actually in game because if enemy rangers already reached your tower, technically that is the end of your round. And now for upgrading your rangers, you must fuse extra rangers into your primary ranger. By sacrificing an extra rangers you will boost the primary range with much stats. Just a simple rule in fusing rangers: First is if you combine a base ranger with exact type of ranger for instance you decided to fuse a brownie with a brownie, the maximum level of the base brownie will increase. If happens that you use a different kind of ranger, the base ranger will only receive experience up to their current maximum level.
7. Treasure will let you get passive upgrades. I don’t know if you already noticed the treasure option on menu. Well this menu will let you check what kind of treasures you already discovered as well as where you can find them. Finding a treasure is actually completely random and for you to maximize the drop rate of certain treasure, you should do the hunt on Wednesday as we mentioned above about daily compensation you will activate in game every day.
8. Use power ups. As you preparing your fight in the beginning of a certain level, you can select from either 4 different power-ups that you can bring into the battle. These power-ups actually can be purchased or by simply winning from the roulette. Every power up has their own devastating ability in battle such as the meteor power up that will cast down a meteors shower down which can inflict tons of damage against enemies over a wide area. You can also use freeze power ups that can damage enemies as well as stopping in a place for easy pickings. There is also a tornado power up that will push all enemies back to their tower to let you buy some time and prepare with your defense under the given time. And the final power up is the invincibility power that makes your tower and all your rangers invulnerable in damage with a limited time duration.
9. Learn from other players. This is the most useful feature of the game while we can say that this is also the annoying part for those who have unique strategy in beating the game. If you fail from defending your base, you can watch someone else and learn from them. To start it, just tap the little cog located at the bottom left corner of your main menu and there you will see the options screen. From there you can tap the Notices button on the right and find a list of updates. You can scroll it down until you find the one named, “LINE Rangers stage tactics video collection” There you will see list of video for every level on how other players beat an specific stage. Watch it and learn how they passed the stage and apply the same strategy in your gameplay. This is perfect especially with though stages where you already did all your effort in game but still you can’t get over.
