Angry Birds Tower Defense Beginner Guide

The launch trailer is the short version of the roster and the three map names. It stays a thumbnail until you press play.

You need a Roblox account and the experience. Play drops you into a match. Solo and co-op both work. Co-op caps at four players on the same map. This page is the match itself. The code is optional and lives in the menu, not in the opening placement.

Those labels come from the two All Things How guides, and the numbers in the last-wave shot match the units guide’s South Beach finale.

South Beach wave 7 of 7, Chef Pig at 187 of 210 health, gold at 3,560
All Things How, South Beach, last wave. Chef Pig 187/210, a minion at 42/65, Hungry at 87/110, gold 3,560, eggs 70/100.

Your first 150 gold

  1. The starter guide says the first useful click is Red, next to the green arrows.
  2. Placing him spends 150 gold. The floating text is “-150”, and the gold counter drops with it.
  3. On an early beach wave that can leave about 10 gold, so the spot matters more than a second tower.
  4. A circle while you place is the range. Green arrows are the pigs’ direction.

Pigs, waves, and the eggs

An early beach frame in the starter guide shows a Minion Pig at 26/26 during wave 2 of 5. The last South Beach wave, in the units guide and the shot above, shows Minion 65, Hungry 110, and Chef Pig (the wave boss) 210. Pigs carry a name and a bar. The boss also has a large bar at the top. The starter guide shows a party-hat Minion; read its displayed health rather than inferring strength from the decoration. Egg health carries from wave to wave, so a leak early still matters on wave 7.

Corners beat straight paths

Red pads mark corners, and pigs slow down and bunch there. Towers pointed at a corner hit more of the pack than towers on a straight. Each card shows placed/limit. The units guide and Rovio’s screenshot put the two starters at 4/4. The starter guide once writes Red as 3/3. I keep both: follow the number printed on the card, and treat 3 as a possible older reading. Two starters at 4 each is eight towers. A full card will not place even if you still have gold.

Slots, levels, and merging

Clearing a chapter pays experience. Experience unlocks birds, upgrades towers you own, and changes the loadout. The hotbar has five slots. A new account sees Red, one empty plus, and three locks marked 5, 7, and 12, which the guides read as the levels that open them. Merging is official in one sentence: the badge “Leveling Up” says “You merged two towers together to level up,” in its public badge description. I do not have a cost, a success rate, or a level cap for that merge, so those cells stay blank. Rolls are also official: the “10 Rolls at once” pass says “Roll for 10 new towers,” and the High Roller badge is “You’ve rolled for a lot of towers.” A Reddit write-up adds that summons roll random stats. Variants such as Joker Red keep the bird’s attack type and change the numbers.

Speed, co-op, and calling the next wave

Speed runs from 1X to 7X. In the South Beach shot, 3X, 5X, and 7X are locked. Those three locks line up with the paid speed passes. Skip to next wave is a vote, not a personal button: solo is 0/1, co-op shows how many people agreed. The description also says “Multiple Game Modes.” One Reddit post names a Hard Mode. I list Hard Mode as that single report, not as a mode chart. Named birds and what they are for sit on units and the tier list. Map-by-map notes are on maps.

Questions

What should I place first in Angry Birds Tower Defense?

Red, beside the green arrows, for 150 gold. That is the starter guide’s opening move.

Does egg health reset each wave?

No. The guides describe health carrying from wave to wave.

How do you merge towers?

The official badge says you merge two towers to level up. The gold cost and the level cap are not published.
