Having trouble perfecting 7th stage (Supply Route) in Forest. More specifically, having trouble handling wave 20+ FAST ground and air units. I use 3 bomb and anti-air towers with ~5 slow towers and the tree mercenary.

*Edit: Must have nothing to do with holy leaves or using items.

try upgrading your towers and use 2 more mercenaries either ice or dragon to help you

I just spent about 1500 leaves upgrading the Holy Leaves upgrade to level 4, purely out of the instinct that any passive boost of permanent earnings (be it xp, leaves or points with a preceding abbreviation) in a game with no cap is a good thing, but now I'm starting to doubt the choice. Does anyone know exactly what effect the upgrade has?

My current Holy Leaves amount "earned through game play" is 13, up from 5. Does this simply mean that I will gain 8 more leaves each game? If so, it will take me roughly 200 games to make back the amount spent, and those 1500 leaves could have been spent strengthening towers and purchasing mercenary towers, allowing me to progress much further and faster and thus increasing my leaf income far beyond an additional 8 per game

Is this how the upgrade actually works?

not sure what that is supposed to mean but I played this game for hours and I saved up leaves to buy all the mercenaries without IAP. There was a HUGE difference when I could use all 3 on one map and then I started upgrading my ice and lightening towers which made things easier.

Just for reference, how many hours and what did you do to get 4000+ leaves?

By the way, I was hoping for a discussion on strategies rather than 'buy more of this and upgrade those to solve your problems'.

there were stages I played more than 20+ times so I could get the strategy right. it's more build order and upgrade order more than tower strategy for me but the mercenaries give you a big boost

This game is pretty addicting. If I don't get 3 stars, I have to before I even try the next level.

I noticed that you always mentioned using more than 1 mercenary and upgrading the lightning tower, which I don't, and will not have until:

So question is, I really do have to move on and get more towers/mercenaries before coming back and perfecting the level right?

By the way, just wondering if creep health will increase over stages/areas. Like, will the creeps of the first wave of the last level in the last area have higher health than the first wave of the first level in the first area (Forest)?
