Route 3-2 Guide (PokéPath TD)
If Route 3-1 teaches choke anchoring, Route 3-2 teaches discipline: keeping counters online, avoiding upgrade dilution, and maintaining uptime through tight turns and pressure spikes. This guide gives a repeatable plan and two setups: Progression vs Farming.
TL;DR: Discipline & Uptime
- Counter uptime gaps usually cause failures, not DPS.
- Commit upgrades to one carry. Don't split your choke.
- Keep one flex slot for the specific mechanic breaking your run.
- Farm later. Only after you can clear repeatedly without help.
Map Read & Choke Points
Step 1 Single Choke Focus
Route 3-2 rewards density.
- One choke with maximum time-in-range
- Control (slow/stun) overlapping that lane
- Sustained damage that doesn’t “miss windows”
Step 2 Mechanic Protection
Your choke must answer specific threats.
- Shields: needs pressure + time-on-target
- Regen: needs continuous kill zone (no gaps)
- Resistances: pivot via flex slot
Key Mechanics
Shields
If kill time increases and enemies leave range, you need more uptime.
Regen
Stalling without pressure backfires. Keep contact constant.
Resistances
Pivot, don't rebuild. Swap your flex slot.
Recommended Teams
A) Progression (Stability First)Recommended
Setup Rules
- Carry at Choke
- Support/Control Overlap
- Flex Counter Slot
Upgrade Order
B) Farming (Stable Loop)Advanced
Don’t sacrifice counters for economy. If stability drops even once, revert and re-stabilize.
Positioning Checklist
Common Failure Modes
Upgrade Dilution
Too many half-upgraded units → nobody becomes strong enough.
Counter Downtime
You have the tool, but it’s not applied at the choke lane.
Farming Too Early
Economy breaks clear stability—restore clear core first.
