Tips and Tricks

 * Scattershot is very strong for some situations, it's better to go to the left side and wreak havoc to troops with some heavy damage. It is dangerously strong and can help you prevent troops from leaking.


 * Try to place the Scattershot in a fixed placement so that it can splash and destroy troops in a line when troops are crossing past the straightway of the map. With the Triple Threat upgrade, it'll be so overpowered for this!
