Field notes

Wardspire organizes its tactics around explicit counters rather than a universal answer: five damage types meet resistances, armor, and immunities, while each of the eight towers occupies a defined role. Placement is unconstrained by a grid, but the path remains open, and later worlds add successive enemy routes that merge together. Progression runs through Glory, a Forge, and an Armory, with the page also listing 20 waves per world, a boss at the end, and an endless mode that records the best wave.
