Trolls vs Vikings: Troll Peaks and Gate of Asgard Quick Walkthrough and Strategy Guide - Odin


Here's a quick walkthrough and strategy game guide for the Hollow Grove stages in the action and arcade defense game - Trolls vs Vikings. In these stages, Moonstones are scarce, but there are some special tiles with sparkling Gem deposits that you can harvest using your Hacks. They generate more Moonstones but it will force you to put up your defenses way closer to the enemies than usual. Undead vikings will also occasionally pop out here to attack your units, be careful!
Basic Tips and Reminders
   - Always place your first 2 Hacks on the closest "sparkling Gem deposits".
   - Save your Gold for later use, no need to use Skills or buy anything except for the "Magic Starter Kit".
   - Recommended Team Selection: Hack, Punk, Buster, Zap, and Rock.
   - Always remember, only summon 3 Hacks, 4 is ok but more than that would cost you more Gold.
   - Busters are your real front-liners, because Rocks aren't that sturdy. Rocks + Busters is the best defensive combination.
   - In case one of your Busters went down, quickly place another Buster on that same spot.
   - Note: You can interchange 2 Busters to take down a tough enemy.
   - Zap are the best easy summon-nukers in the game, very useful to weaken tough vikings.
