Troops and Buildings

Additional Tips
- Early Undead games can be nerve wracking as there aren’t many great early game troops, but keep your cool and defend your base well with towers. Building your army is essential with the undead, don’t rush in too quickly
- Have an Obsidian statue in every group you go out with, they cast great auto AoE healing benefits for your team and can really extend their longevity
- Like mentioned above, Acolytes buildings build themselves so make sure you have multiple buildings going at once since you wont need to worry about the acolyte finishing before starting another one.
- Don’t expand your camps too early, expanding to far to quickly can reveal your position before you are ready to attack, and with the undead, timing is key
- Many of the towers the undead build can actually deal damage as well so having your acolytes build towers will not only increase your armies abilities but provide powerful defenses as well.
