Role-based build guide with reported slot structure
Team Building: Early Loadouts
A useful early team answers the next leak before it chases a perfect tier label. This guide gives a repeatable role checklist and records the reported slot rules separately.
§Early role template#
| Slot purpose | What it solves | When to add it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening damage | First wave pressure | Before economy |
| Grouped or line damage | Clumped enemies | When the map shows grouped leaks |
| Single target | Durable targets | When basic damage stalls |
| Economy | Later upgrade budget | After the opening is safe |
| Support or buff | Team-wide output | When the current roster supports it |
| Hero | Reported special-slot option | Only after confirming the slot rule |
§Reported loadout notes#

- The loadout video describes five normal slots and a sixth hero slot.
- It presents Sahur Statue as a buff-oriented unit and discusses DJ Toilet in a support context.
- It mentions Moon Blossom as a starter example and Corgi as a line-piercing example.
- These are source-specific observations, not a universal best team.
§Upgrade and placement logic#

- Place the unit that prevents the next leak before adding a second economy piece.
- Upgrade the strongest safe position before spreading low-level placements across the map.
- Use range, path coverage, and targeting as part of the decision, not just the damage line.
- Test one change per replay so the source of improvement stays clear.
§Before you queue#
- Confirm the current map and difficulty.
- Check that the opening attacker is affordable with the displayed Cash.
- Confirm whether a hero or special slot is available in this client.
- Keep one response for grouped enemies and one plan for economy.
§FAQ#
What is the best loadout?
There is no stable universal loadout in the captured evidence. Start with roles, then adapt to the current map, roster, and wave pressure.
Should I use a hero every game?
Only if the current client gives you the reported hero slot and the hero solves your route. The slot structure still needs verification.
