Grim Reaper's Kite:

Forged for the sole purpose of striking down anything that moves across the skies.

It's sharp string slices through rival kite strings with deadly precision, sending them drifting to the ground.

Legend:

Red - Never place bamboo here, troops almost never go here

Orange - Almost never place here, troops avoid these tiles a lot or will activate your bamboo early

Yellow - Situational, with specific placements this will probably work (no guarantee but it's probable)

Blue - Recommended placement, many troops walk on these tiles but can be remedied so that max charge is achieved (still no guarantee but it's probable)

*Correction: left 3 tiles in a sideways v shape is supposed to be orange*

*Note: the guide is made to hit and kill as many units to complete quests, if you need to adjust placement to kill a key unit this may or may not be applicable*

Explanation:

Troops tend to walk to the right, which means enemy troops move towards your left(this is also true for troop targeting, they will tend to target the troop to the right). Keep this in mind when placing bamboo and troops

Other things to note:

Troop speed - different troops have different movement speeds, this usually makes a difference when melee troops are placed in the back

Troop range - most troops are either melee or have a ranged 4 tile range with some exceptions:

(This decides *when* troops will walk forward depending on their position)

2 tile range -> baby dragon, melee unit with dagger

3 tile range -> firecracker, bomber, spear gob, baby drag w dagger

5 tile range -> dart gob, most ranged units w dagger

Targeting - this matters since it forces you to decide if you want to put your tanks in front and have ranged troops target them or place them in the back so that they walk into a charged bamboo

Summoned units - witch will usually clutter your board and mess up enemy troops' targeting, making it less predictable BUT a witch on the enemy side means more troops to kill(quest completion) and more troops that can walk on the bamboo

Placing bamboo under a melee unit - this will allow bamboo to charge up w/out interruption unless knocked back or hooked, but make sure you can predict where the enemy tank will walk after your own tank dies(refer to image 2)

FALSE GRIP

If you have a wig equipped, If an opponent grabs your "hair" the wig will come off instead, leaving them holding the wig. Allowing you the opportunity to escape or counter attack.
