Defenden is a strategy merge defense game!
There were two very powerful beings in the world, Bael and Deus, who were very close brothers, but for some reason their relationship deteriorated and they began to fight. Their fight had unacceptable negative consequences, and the dark energy that spread during the fight awakened long forgotten dungeon guardians and monsters, demons in volcanoes, and yetis in snowy regions. The angels and demons who came as reinforcements to stop the monsters from invading the villages and kingdoms of the uninhabited, gave the heroes the ability to merge with the monsters and use this ability to help them stop the onslaught of monsters. Help the heroes, Guardians!
Combine units according to a recipe.
Mix and match your favorite units to a set recipe. Build your own team by combining over 100 different units, each with unique traits and skills. Sometimes units are stronger uncombined, but higher tiers are usually better.
15 classes to differentiate units.
Build efficient teams with units that are categorized into 15 different classes. If you have a lot of units of the same class, you can use class enhancement cards effectively. (Individual characters do not have classes.)
Defeat over 200 themed monsters.
To clear the stages, you need to know the characteristics of each monster. Whether it's physical or magical damage reduction, multiple births, or the ability to summon monsters, know the characteristics of each monster to clear the wave.
Understand and utilize your unit's skills.
Understanding the skills of your units will help you organize your team. Try to balance physical and magical attack units, think about the ratio of damage over time, instant damage, and area of effect attacks, and combine units that stun, bind, and slow monsters.
Earn different passives each game to create different combinations.
Fill up the monster kill gauge or defeat boss monsters to earn the chests in the bottom right corner and spend them to upgrade individual units and earn class upgrade gold.
Clear the stage by understanding the boss's abilities.
Defeat bosses by recognizing their abilities to freeze or stun units, reposition units, or restore health.
Understand the structures that embody the concept of the stage.
Understand the features of maps that match the stage's concept, such as lava on the ground to give debuffs and water at the bottom to match the sea concept, and place your units correctly.
Use the diamonds you're rewarded for playing to become stronger.
Diamonds are rewarded for play and can be used to take units to the next game or to permanently strengthen a player's Passive. They're awarded after you play, so play a lot to customize your look by purchasing custom skins from the Shopkeeper and in-game event skins.
