      Eh, if you get legitimate and permanent buffs in the process, then it seems fine. Whether it's 'optimal' or not may be debatable, but it's an alternate game plan that adds to casual fun. That's really what matters more than anything.
      I get what you're saying, and I don't think you're entirely wrong, but that also doesn't mean it's a bad thing either.

    By the way, if you decide to play again you can see if upgrades are available for a minion, all you have to do is hover your mouse over combine for a moment and if the minion portrait changes and has text you can, even if you don't have the available minions. If it doesn't it just says no upgrade available. Hope this helps if ya do play again

    Dan’s callback game is incredible, and his attention to detail is immaculate. Between “ROOK” in Ouroboros King and the “friendship ended” memes in Tower Escape, along with highlighting which game elements Tyler is talking about, explaining things that confuse Tyler and/or might confuse us (like the succubus purchase), and even playing out a sequence of moves to explain to the audience what Tyler is seeing in the future in Ouroboros King, he makes every video both extremely viewer-friendly and absolutely hilarious. Probably my favorite editor on the platform right now. Keep it up!
    Edit: Also, his references are top notch. Stanley Parable? SLAP THE MONKEY?? Incredible

    Discovered mechanics: after a certain point(uncertain where, on the tower), whenever you send your path into the range of any tower, that tower will be leveled up the next run through. It happens with knights, at least.

      Permadeth is hard as undead but with enchanted you can do it since they have high health.

    I believe that for next time you should place the zombies last, instead of first. This is because with the speed curve they get mixes up quickly, in contrast if they were to be last they would always die, for they Cannot catch up.
