Added a few more special lane names.
=== Air Raid ===
Hence the name, this will only appear in flyer lanes. This causes all types of enemies to spawn - usually in a larger quantity than usual. Heavy anti-air is highly recommended, but careful not to spend too many Defense Units!
=== The Front Line ===
[[Vanguards]] will spawn here in huge quantities along with a few [[Geodes]], making projectile-based towers essentially useless, possibly even with a piercer [[Mods|servo.]]
This lane can easily be dealt with by using [[Flame Aura|Flame Auras]] or by crowd-controlling enemies with nodes.
=== Sparks And Shields ===
This lane specializes with [[Vanguards]] and [[Cyborks]], but unlike The Front Line, vanguards won't appear in as big of quantities. This lane can be tricky, since vanguards will block projectiles from towers, and cyborks will disable and traps, auras, and nodes they come across.
One strategy is to try and pick off the cyborks with towers; then, use an aura/node setup behind your towers to deal with the vanguards. Alternatively, [[Earthshatter Tower|Earthshatter Towers]] can bypass shields while not attracting the attention of cyborks and getting disabled.
Also unlike The Front Line, this lane won't solely spawn vanguards and cyborks. Support troops like [[Dark Mages]] and [[Kobolds]] may also be seen, especially in later rounds.
=== Orcish Horde ===
Any assortment of mobs can spawn here, but only if they're orcs. This ranges from [[Orcs|regular orcs]] to [[Cyborks]] to [[Berserker Orcs]]. The anti-orc or orc-boom [[Mods|servos]] are great counters for these lanes.
=== Omega Squad X ===
Omega Squad lanes specialize in spawning [[Chaos]] monsters. The types of chaos enemies that spawn in omega squad lanes depends on what greek letter replaces "X" in the name (e.g. Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, etc.). Plan accordingly to what spawns.
=== Dreadbones' Crew ===
=== Just Timmy ===
[[Timmy]] spawns multiple times. Just like with Game-Ogre, single-targeting defenses are great for handling this lane.
=== High Roller ===
Only [[Goblin Siege Roller|Goblin Siege Rollers]] will spawn. Unlike Game Ogre, there are no miniature seige rollers that will appear.
Goblin Siege Rollers move very slowly, so don't worry about them making huge progress to your core(s) if another lane needs your attention. If you want to use defenses against this lane, you will need to use ones that can specifically target the back of rollers. Siege Rollers take double damage when hit from behind, but they can absorb 90% damage dealt to them when hit anywhere else. If you can't find a good spot for a [[Cannonball Tower]] or a [[Poison Dart Tower]], consider using [[Reflect Beam|Reflect Beams]] as their explosions can hit the roller's weak point once the roller passes the node.
Alternatively, you can actively defend in this lane. Keep in mind that siege rollers will shoot rockets at you, so don't stop moving unless you like to explode. Don't accidentally move in front of a roller either, because their roller attacks deals heavy damage and can kill you in seconds.
