since ive been getting a few pms, here is the setup i came up with to beat it duo

http://html5.cubicleninja.com/dd/index.htm?layout=14095

we used an app guardian + a huntress guardian to melt the ogres

these were the ~stats of all the buldings involved

tower app
2200/2400/1300/1400

wall app
2700/?/?/?

monk auras
1400/2000/1000/1200

huntress traps
1000/2400/950/1200

wave 25-30 all felt ~ the same difficulty wise. so you probably dont need gear nearly as good as these.


when the spiders land, they go for the closest target, so i placed a wall + explosive trap underneath the 3 major spawns, and put a 4th up north where spiders tend to gather, between these and the 3 lightning towers, i have pretty decent spider coverage.

the enrage auras will give you time to take care of the wyverns at the start, the bulk of the spiders, as well as limit the ogres that come at you. You will get about half the ogres by halfway through the wave, then the rest will come spaced ~10 seconds apart near the end, making it very manageable

post or pm questions/improvements.

thanks so much fluffy i appreciate it

looks like what I was doing, xept I put my enrage auras nearer to the base where the path gets really narrow, gets the ogres even more stuck. I was in the process of testing different spider control setups with my stats. I tried hiding a DST tower in a corner, it was working ok, but I needed to dedicate a app guardian to it to be really effective (but it was pretty effective). Anyways, might try this or some variations of it!

Thanks for posting your setup, I was unhappy with the setup posted in the other topic that did not even attempt to deal with the spiders.

i felt putting enrages like that didnt give you the super easy steady stream of mobs we were looking for.



well basically we kept getting owned by spiders, so i tested many ways where i could dps down the spiders without really looking at them too much, after many fails with other setups, this one actually worked first shot.

sighh the set up was working great for me, but steam just dced with me and my freind when we finally passed wave 20 which we couldnt beat. we were 200 mobs away until wave 21. and everything just shut down

lol it happens welcome to dungeon defenders

dont think my traps are good enough to be effective >___>. i'll need to upgrade my trapper gear I guess (havent in a LONG while). Otherwise, yeah, the setup works good enough.

Oh wow thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be good enough to attempt that anytime soon. (haven't even beat NM Misty Spider Queen yet haha)

got lots of pms about gear.

I earned the bulk of my mana doing pure strategy runs (hall of court, royal gardens, deeper well, alch lab mainly)
and you can find some guides on how i hit wave 25 on some of them in my profile (but you only need wave 15 for the worthwhile pet)

genies for example i would be able to sell for 100m-1b depending on the stats, and similar with the other pets.

i started doing stuff with a mediocre app, 800/1500/800/800 ish stats
and a hp wall app 2000/0/0/0 which isnt hard to find items that can hit close to the max tower hp, just need to poke through a ton of shops

after i got this i teamed up with a friend with half decent aura monk, and we just did pure strategy over and over and over and over, trading / selling the pets for mana/gear to improve what we already had, just takes awhile checking every shop.

eventually we got gear good enough to do misty , most the time we got to wave 20, but after a few more setups we were hitting wave 24-25 and eventually now we are hitting 30 reliably, which drops some pretty cool gear.

this is off a recent run
