To farm Underdark stages efficiently in LastCamp : Defense, deploy an omnidirectional all-around attack build placed at the center of your camp. Underdark farming stages feature erratic monster spawns emerging from multiple angles in the surrounding darkness. Radial 360-degree attacks hit incoming enemies across every vector simultaneously, removing the turn-delay and blind spots that hinder directional defenders.
Stat Upgrade Priorities for Radial Farming
Radial wave clearing relies on consistent hit frequency rather than slow, heavy strikes. Prioritize upgrades in the following order:
- Attack Speed: High attack speed minimizes downtime between radial bursts. This constant staggering prevents fast-moving enemies from slipping through the damage perimeter.
- Attack Range and Radius: Expanding your attack perimeter pushes the kill zone toward or past the edge of the dark fog. This provides extra time to defeat sprinting variants before they reach central camp structures.
- Base Attack Power: Invest enough raw damage to eliminate standard creeps in one or two hits. If trash mobs survive multiple radial hits, the perimeter becomes clogged and enemies reach your core.
- Cooldown Reduction and Firing Rate: Prioritize continuous fire rate and cooldown recovery over critical strike chance. Reliable, unbroken wave clearing prevents sudden dead zones during automated grinding.
- Critical Hit Chance and Multipliers: Treat critical stats as secondary bonuses to help clear dense elite clusters faster.
Directional Penetration vs. All-Around Farming Setups
Standard campaign stages reward forward-facing directional weapons that pierce single lanes, but Underdark farming requires broader target saturation.
| Feature | Directional Penetration Setup | All-Around Attack Farming Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Campaign progression and single choke points | Automated material and gold farming |
| Coverage Area | Narrow forward cone (30° to 60°) | Full omnidirectional circle (360°) |
| Flank Defense | Vulnerable to side and rear spawns | Uniform protection across all angles |
| Mob Density Scaling | Caps out when enemies spread wide | Damage scales up as swarm density rises |
| Boss Burst Damage | High concentrated single-target output | Moderate; requires secondary boss support |
| Playstyle | Active manual aiming and positioning | Hands-off, automated continuous farming |
Camp Positioning and Light Radius Rules
To keep incoming waves from breaching your defenses, manage your placement relative to the camp light source:
- Anchor in the dead center: Place your primary radial damage dealer directly in the center of the camp. Offsetting the unit creates a short engagement distance on the far side, giving flanking enemies an easy path to deal chip damage.
- Cover the illuminated edge: Upgrade your attack radius until it matches or exceeds the boundary of your light.
- Maintain the light source: Prevent your central vehicle or light generator from degrading. If the illumination radius shrinks, monsters travel faster out of the dark, reducing the time your radial bursts have to eliminate them.
Handling Elites and Stage Bosses
The trade-off of a 360-degree build is diluted single-target damage against durable targets. When farming higher-difficulty Underdark stages, stage bosses can stall inside the perimeter.
Reserve at least one defender slot for a dedicated single-target specialist or high-utility crowd control. Equipping cards or units that apply slows, freeze effects, or armor shred traps durable targets inside your radial damage zone for longer, allowing continuous area hits to finish them without interrupting your automated clear speed.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
