Loadout Overview

The proven Legendary-only composition uses:

  • Three Chef units for economy.
  • Two Mini Baller units for consistent path DPS.
  • Two Party Man units for team-wide buffs.
  • One Angel Ball in the backline for leak cleanup.

Phase-by-Phase Walkthrough

Waves 1–15: Place three Chefs and two Mini Ballers. Upgrade Mini Ballers to level 3, enable auto-skip until wave 49 if comfortable.

Waves 15–30: Upgrade all Chefs to level 2, then push Mini Ballers to level 4.

Waves 30–49: Deploy and max both Party Men. Max Mini Ballers. Place Angel Ball covering the exit zone.

Wave 49+: Disable auto-skip. Micro-manage upgrades through elite waves until clear.

Reforge Recommendations

Apply damage and cooldown traits to Mini Baller and Angel Ball before attempting Expert. Avoid Size Up on crowded maps. Details on each trait appear in the reforge traits guide.
