Strategic Unit Placement
Proper unit placement is the cornerstone of success in Bear Tower Defense. The right positions can dramatically increase your defensive capabilities and resource efficiency.
Optimal Placement Strategies:
| Position | Recommended Unit | Wave Range | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance | Grizzly | Early | High |
| Middle path | Polar + Brown | Mid | Very High |
| Turns | Black bears | Late | High |
| End paths | Mixed units | All | Moderate |
Never place all your units in one location. Diversified placement provides better coverage against different enemy types.
Path Analysis:
| Path Type | Difficulty | Recommended Units | Special Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | Easy | 2 Grizzly bears | Simple but effective |
| Winding | Medium | Grizzly + Polar | Requires timing coordination |
| Split | Hard | Multiple unit types | Requires precise placement |

| 6-10 | 50% | 50% | 20-25 |
| 11-15 | 40% | 60% | 30-40 |
| 16+ | 30% | 70% | 45-60 |
