Opportunity Cost Analysis
What you give up by choosing eco over DPS:
Eco Choice
Buying Farm instead of Hacker
+$$$/wave after BEP - S-tier single-target DPS
DPS Choice
Buying Hacker instead of Farm
+ High burst damage - Delayed economy
Pro tip: The optimal strategy is to deploy minimum DPS to survive early waves, then funnel all excess cash into eco towers. By wave 20+, passive farm income eclipses combat yields.
Difficulty Scaling
| Difficulty | Eco Priority | Risk |
