The Best Balls According to Me

With so many combinations, it can be hard to compare them all and see what sort of damage every ball does on the field. That said, I seem to have the most success with the area of effect (AOE) balls, dealing tons of damage to groups of enemies. Lightning, Earthquake, and the Lasers are some of my favorites for this reason.

I stack up as much AOE damage as I can, then save one ball for some sort of healing (the Mosquito balls are great for that). With this sort of build, I generally breeze through levels, especially with The Shieldbearer, who is my favorite character, too. Pair this with a level three Magic Staff, and enemies basically melt in seconds.
