From waves 8-15, your priority is maximizing damage through upgrades that increase your attack speed and damage stats, allowing you to comfortably dispatch enemies as hordes start appearing. Choosing items that maintain health regeneration will also be key here.

Late Game

In waves 16-20, prepare for an intense barrage from the bosses.
