Attacking Tactics for Dr. Terror Event
1) Admit that low level Player cannot advance very far
If you defeat Lt. Hammerman level 10 and 20 and unlock Dr. Terror as soon as practicable, you will have very low level and find it very hard to advance during Dr. Terror Event. It is worth to try and beat difficult stage of Dr. Terror, however, don't waste your Gold when you know that your army will be shredded into pieces by those replicating Terror Weapons.
2) Upgrade your Gunboat and Gunboat Weapon
While this is not a secret, focus on maxing your Gunboat, Artillery and Barrage will specifically help you to advance further in Dr. Terror Event. Ability to destroy critical group of Defenses allow you to easier guide your troop to specific location and safely destroy Headquarters.
3) Choose your troop wisely
Low level Tank is quite good to take care of Stage 1 to 10 without any loss. However without Medic, Tank will be struggled to advance deep into the Event. Hooka is all around army, with proper level, they can do a good job with some casualties along the way.
Warrior plus Smoke Screen are the key and have the base chance to defeat Dr. Terror compared to any other troops. 36-42 Warrior of at least level 9-10 allow you to have a best shot against the last few stages of Dr. Terror.
4) Boost Statue using Power Powder
Dr. Terror Event is by far the most valuable chance you can get back from using Power Powder to boost your statue, whether they are Resource Reward, Gun Boat Energy, Power Stone Chance or Magma statue. The boosting allows you to able to defeat more stage of Dr. Terror, thus give you a lot more Resources and Dark Power Stone.
If you have the boosting left after the Event, you can use the remaining benefit to attack NPC and Player base.
5) Time your building and Armory upgrade
Plan to have your builder and Armory upgrade available during Dr. Terror Event. Dr. Terror Resources effectively allow you to do big upgrade a lot easier.
