== Chaos I Tiers==In C1 you will first encounter [[Vanguard]]s - shield goblins. They have a very high resistance to direct front damage, the best strategy against them is to use traps, auras, magic towers (like [[Skeletal_Ramster|Ramster]] or [[Flamethrower Tower]]) or build direct damage towers behind them.

== Chaos IV ==
This Chaos is centered around the [[Berserker Orc]]s (commonly called "Lady Orcs"). Berserkers are all about being fast and dealing high damage upon reaching defenses, so using crowd control effects like stuns and knockups to slow them down are your main counter for this threat. [[Cybork]]s counter most of those kinds of effects, so you won't see [[Cybork]]s in this Chaos tier anymore, also will find vanguards and geodes

Projectile attacks will largely be ineffective unless you can get inside the shield and damage the [[Shield Geode]]'s core. Using projectile based defenses is highly discouraged unless they are equipped with piercer servo.
== Chaos V ==
Chaos V is all about [[Dark Assassin]]s. As opposed to other enemies, [[Dark Assassin]]s instead focus player heroes. They sneak up on players, at which point a purple fog gathers around you - they will then teleport to you and deal a great amount of damage and afflict you with silence, preventing you from using all your abilities and basic attacks, all you can do is run around and activate pet abilities. The best way to get [[Dark Assassin]]s off your back is to run to your defences/allies so they can kill it, activate immunity pet skill or stun them. The most popular method is to utilize [[Cannonball_Tower|Cannonball Tower]]s with '''Stun Fire''' or '''Heavy Cannonball''' shards in par with '''Sharpened Spikes''' shard on blockades.
Assassins attack in a cone, so you can easily fail the map by running around defences or the Core with Assassins on your back.
In this tier you will also encounter [[Cybork]]s, [[Berserker Orc]]s and sometimes a single [[Shield Geode]] per wave (usually can spawn in wave 3 and later ones), it's crucial to check where it will spawn and kill it as fast as possible on this difficulty level.
