// Protocol Tips

▸ Place LP Pools early — compound passive income is everything.

▸ Build Auditors at corners — enemies slow near turns.

▸ Multisig behind Firewalls = maximum coverage against swarms.

▸ Keep 1 Insurance Pool active — TVL recovery saves runs.

▸ Click a placed tower to inspect · upgrade · sell.

▸ Use 2× speed between waves to optimize your build.
