** The Phaser is the second-most expensive tower in the game, so it has a lot to live up to. Alas, it's simply [[AwesomeButImpractical too good to be true.]] While the Phaser ''can'' possess extremely high DPS, it has a gimmick of ramping up in power overtime, but once its target dies, it needs a moment to lock onto a new target before it starts firing again. These two points combined are detrimental to it since there is no feature to program your towers to lock onto specific targets, so the Phaser will always lock onto the first zombie in its range. With how dense the zombie waves get in the last stages of the game, the Phaser is liable to spend more time slowly switching to new targets than actually firing. For this reason, you'll generally see players stick to Zeds or Golden Commandos as their end-game towers, which are more expensive but also ''much'' more reliable.

** Most players drop their Scouts as soon as they unlock other towers, as despite being extremely cheap, they are very weak and are generally outclassed by every other tower in the game.
** Shotgunners are hated for their extremely short reach and low fire rate, often resulting in faster zombies running right by them without suffering a scratch. They're also one of the few towers that cannot be upgraded to detect Hiddens, further compounding their relative uselessness.

** Speaking of being outclassed by the Tuber, the Fragger, while not even half the cost of one, has extremely low damage and short range, and is incapable of being upgraded to target Hiddens.

* AbridgedArenaArray: Among the games many available maps, players will almost always vote for the maps with the longest track lengths, since they're the easiest to win on. Borderlands in particular is pretty much guaranteed to be the map you're playing on if it shows up on the ballot.
* BestLevelEver: Borderlands. It's the longest track in the game, one of the most visually detailed, and is rife with cliffs to place towers restricted to such areas on. As mentioned above, it pretty much insta-wins if it's among the maps you can choose from.
* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: The go-to strategy for many players is to immediately stack Farms and wait to get the money for big towers right away, and leave early game defense to their allies. Some players go far enough to stock ''only'' expensive towers, and have nothing cheap for the early waves. If their allies are unable to cope with the handicap and lose before the money starts pouring in, the farming players pulling a NeverMyFault is also frequent.
** As far as individual towers go, you will run into Farms, Commandos, and Jeeps almost every game.

** The Spy Plane upgrade for the Aviator. Not only does it allow the already strong tower to target Hiddens, it also allows all towers within itsits radius to target Hiddens as well, allowing even towers that normally can't be upgraded to attack Hiddens to do so.
** The Thrifty upgrade for the DJ reduces the price of upgrades for all towers in its range by 10%. If you can coordinate your team to place all their towers near the DJ, the gold saved from the constant discounts can be game-changing. The DJ can still be upgraded to further reduce the price of upgrades.
* ScrappyLevel: The Grasslands is basically the opposite of Borderlands; Incredibly vanilla in design, very short and thus difficult, and having very little room for cliff towers.
