Garden Tower Defense Wiki
Learn the core systems, tower roles, and practical strategies for clearing waves and bosses in Garden Tower Defense.
Game Overview
Garden Tower Defense is a Roblox tower defense where you place and upgrade plant‑themed towers to stop waves of enemies. Each map features paths, choke points, and boss encounters that demand careful placement, targeting, and upgrade timing.
Success comes from combining roles: slows to group enemies, splash to clear crowds, and single‑target DPS to melt bosses — all supported by economy and buff units.
Core Tips
- Build economy early, then pivot to damage
- Place slows before splash to maximize damage time
- Use targeting modes (First/Last/Strongest) intentionally
- Stack buffs near your main kill zone
- Bring dedicated anti‑air and hidden detection
Tower Roles & Synergy
| Role | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Single-Target DPS | High damage vs. bosses and armored enemies |
| AoE / Splash | Crowd clear for grouped waves |
| Slow / Control | Freeze, slow, stun, or knockback to extend kill zones |
| Support / Buff | Range, damage, attack-speed, or priority buffs |
| Economy / Farming | Wave income, interest, or on‑kill bonuses |
| Anti‑Air / Hidden Detect | Special coverage for flying or hidden enemies |
