Pirate Legends TD – Tips and Tricks Guide: Hints, Cheats and Strategies

Pirate Legends TD is a new tower defense game for the iPhone and iPad. This one adds a few twists to the already well-established genre that was pioneered by the old school Desktop Tower Defense game way back in the day. In this game, your goal is to use your pirate ship, a number of different defense towers, and all kinds of other weapons in order to stop the enemy pirates from attacking and destroying your ship. Read on for some tips and tricks for Pirate Legends TD!

Toes are the main currency of the game. If you get stuck on a stage, then go back to a stage that you have already beaten and play it again in order to earn more toes. Toes can then later be used to buy mystery chests, which earn you anchors, and anchors can then be used for upgrades. Play stages on higher difficulty levels to earn even more toes.

However, when you are simply progressing through the stages, trying to get as far as you can, play them on easy mode. Easy mode will allow you to get farther, and each time that you beat a stage for the first time, you’ll earn the maximum amount of possible toes for that stage – at least for that difficulty level. However, if your first time beating a stage is done on hard mode, you’ll earn a massive load of toes.

Change where your flying aces are aimed in order to do the maximum amount of damage. Tap the flying ace logo in the upper left corner of the screen, then tap where you want him to aim. It’s best to aim at one of the busiest corridors of the river, especially one where enemies get slowed down by river currents. Alternatively, build one or two oil rigs, use them to make a logjam, and aim your flying ace right at the logjam area.

Use the gunners when you just need to fill space, but replace them later on with towers that are more effective. Cannon towers should be the basis of your strategy, because they will do splash damage, and an upgraded cannon tower will shoot three cannonballs at the same time. Voodoo towers do damage to one single enemy, but they do heavy damage compared to the others. Oil rigs, as previously mentioned, slow down the enemy, which is especially effective when you have turtles and cannon towers nearby.
