Persian Guide (PokéPath TD)
Persian is the economy core of the meta: Pay Day-style gold-on-hit lets you scale upgrades far faster than “normal” play, as long as you build for hit count and stability instead of burst.

How It Works
Pay Day generates extra gold on hit. The community meta is simple: keep a durable target alive longer → Persian attacks longer → more gold generated. This is why farming builds prioritize control and minimal DPS.

Checklist to Avoid "Loop Breaks":
1
Economy Core
Meowth/Persian (+ optional Ditto to extend uptime).
2
Control
Slows/Stuns at a choke so Persian keeps hitting.
3
Minimal DPS
Only enough to prevent leaks; avoid burst that deletes targets.
4
Counter Slot
Reserve 1 slot for invis/shields so the loop doesn't collapse.
Placement Rules
- Consistent Uptime: Place Persian where it has the longest time-on-target segment.
- Choke Synergy: Control belongs at the choke; Persian should be near enough to keep attacking inside that choke window.
- Don't Overthink: It just needs to hit things. Complicated setups often break.
Progression Use
Not just for farming loops. Persian is strong because faster gold means:
- Earlier tier upgrades
- More flexible counter swaps
- Fewer "I'm under-leveled" walls

Common Mistakes & Fixes
- Too much DPS
- Remove burst pieces. Keep only "safety DPS" to prevent leaks. You want enemies to survive the hits so you can hit them again.
- No Control
- Add slow or stun at a real choke point. Without control, enemies walk past Persian too fast.
- Ignoring Counters
- Invisibility is a run-ender if you skip the utility slot. Don't get greedy—keep your counter online.
