To run an effective three-unit core with Trunks, Zamasu, and Vegito in Portal Defense, deploy Trunks first during early waves for low-cost crowd control, place Zamasu in a central location during the mid-game for utility, and focus your late-game gold on fully upgrading Vegito for raw damage output.

Unit Roles and Deployment Sequence

Managing defensive waves requires deploying units in a specific order so your economy can support late-game damage costs while preventing early leakages.

  1. Deploy Trunks for Early Wave Control: Build Trunks near initial mob paths. His abilities slow and disrupt early enemies with minimal gold investment, buying time to build up reserves without risking base damage.
  2. Place Zamasu for Mid-Game Stability: Position Zamasu centrally where his range reaches multiple lanes. Use him to fill operational gaps, such as applying support effects or debuffs while enemy mob counts expand.
  3. Upgrade Vegito for Late-Game DPS: Place Vegito behind your frontline crowd control once initial lanes are stable. Direct the bulk of your gold into his upgrade tree to clear high-health enemy clusters and late-game boss waves.

Resource Management and Strategy Adjustments

  • Avoid Over-Investing in Trunks: Trunks' damage scaling drops off in late waves. Keep his early investment low so gold remains available for higher-tier units.
  • Bridge Gold Deficits: If gold reserves fall short when transitioning to Vegito, add minor level upgrades to Trunks or Zamasu to maintain wave control temporarily rather than deploying an un-upgraded Vegito too early.
  • Frontline Alignment: Ensure Vegito targets enemies already slowed or disrupted by Trunks and supported by Zamasu to maximize his high single-target and area damage.
