How To Elite Mode Solo Triumph Guide

There are a lot of different maps that you can play in Tower Defense X. One of those maps is the Ancient Sky Island which looks that difficult. You have a short track, and it circles the end giving towers an easier time acquiring targets.

In Elite difficulty, the short track becomes a liability as you’ll have a shorter time to kill enemies before they get through.

Here are the towers we’ll need to beat this level in Elite mode:

Farm
Sniper
Missile Trooper
Operator
EDJ
John
