Soulkeep second level was a good challenge and I needed to get with a strong start without using too much mana. That is why I decided to use four Knife Tosser in my first towers and for first wave.
The Knife Tosser is the cheapest tower in terms of mana consumption in the game as it uses 55 only and this was a very smart choice for me. Despite its low cost and it offers a significant amount of potential. It has an attack range of 235, meaning it can hit enemies from a good distance without needing to get close.
Furthermore its fire interval is very fast, with only about 0.7 seconds between each hit. This means it can hit incredibly quickly making it extremely effective against large group of fiends.
As for damage it deals an average of about 60 physical damage which isn't negligible, especially at the beginning of the level. As you level up its damage increases significantly making it a good weapon in your deck.
Starting with four Knife Tosser helped me quickly control the map and prevent fiends from getting close to the gate. With a little Tosser upgrades I was able to increase damage and control more areas without having to spend a lot of mana on more towers that take much mana.
Honestly, the Knife Tosser isn't just an economical solution and it's also a smart strategic solution if used correctly at the right time. This made the start of the second level easy and quick for me, and paved the way for me to breeze through the rest of the stage.
