What Pokepath TD is
Pokepath TD is a route-based tower defense game with leveling and evolution. Each route has different lane shapes and pacing, so strong teams are built around coverage, control, and boss damage rather than a single unit.
The core loop (what to do first)
- Pick a route and learn enemy flow. Watch where enemies stack or split.
- Build a small core team. Keep early gold focused so your defense stabilizes.
- Push waves and adjust. When you hit a wall, swap a unit or change placement.
Route strategy by stage
- Routes 1-3: Favor budget-friendly towers and reliable single-target damage.
- Routes 4-6: Add area damage and slow/stun to manage larger waves.
- Routes 7-9: Prioritize high single-target DPS for boss-heavy pacing.
Leveling and evolution tips
- Do not level everything evenly.
- Choose 3-5 workhorse units and grow them first.
- Evolve based on route layout and the role your team lacks.
Auto mode (AFK farming)
Auto mode is best when your team is already stable and you know the route. Use manual play to push new waves, then switch to auto for farming.
Stealth and invisible enemies
Bring at least one unit that can reveal or hit stealth targets. Area damage also helps clean up what slips through.

Tier 2
Strong picks that shine with the right team, placements, or route.
Tier 3
