Tutorials, Tooltips & More
GILTSTEADER - Tower Defense Patch Notes — February 22, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This update drastically improves the "How to Play" mode by making the tutorial text much more focused on teaching mechanics. It is now far less verbose and contains less lore, which I hope streamlines the learning journey and allows new players to jump into the action sooner.
Additionally, some UI tooltips are also now more user-friendly and less "touchy" (i.e., easier to activate). The verbiage in some tooltips has also been reworked to be more clear and easy to understand.
Last but not least, the range of Sludge and Laser towers has been increase by 1 to better work with non-Clover maps that only have single-mound rows. They will now reach further into the secondary lanes to engage with those drones in a more effective manner. Prior to this, engagement was a bit twitchy and unreliable.
If you have any feedback, please let me know in the discussions!
