You can earn way more kills in Map 3 with just about any trap type easily for upgrades. Any trap COULD be useful in the right circumstances but the scorchers are useful in a lot of places.
#ORCS MUST DIE 3 BEST TRAPS UPGRADE#
Scorchers with the wall upgrade are great, theyre the main one that you didnt mention that I think is a major oversight. Map 3 doesn’t have any archers, and does have a whole lot of orcs. Lightning traps with the wall upgrade might be useful against flyers that arent named shock bat. You won’t get as many skulls per run, but you can still get them consistently. You can play through Scramble for a good earning rate, or you can replay Map 3 over and over. If you’re sick of trying to get Perfect on levels, there are a few other ways to earn skulls. You’ll get a first-time completion bonus for each difficulty level separately, so switch to Normal and try to aim for the Perfect Bonus when you’re ready after going through the Easy levels. Playing on Easy also makes this a breeze, and you can do it for each level in order from the beginning. Once you’ve upgraded your traps a little, you can go back to master earlier levels with much less effort. This is much easier to do if you’ve made it further into the game. Just start at the first level, then play the second, third, etc. You’ll earn 5 Skulls + extra for each level you complete on Easy w/ Perfect.

The best part of Orcs Must Die! 3 is the crazy new siege mode where you have to take on hundreds of invading orcs with even bigger traps.

You’ll also have to do battle with an annoying new faction of demonic critters that are immune to just about anything under the sun. Orcs Must Die! 3 is an explosive return to form for the absurd Tower Defense game, giving you even more traps you can chain together to splatter entire armies of orcs.

If you’re struggling to survive the latest level and need to give your gear a boost, this is what you’ll want to do for more skulls. In fact, its basically required if you want to get the maximum and fully upgrade your stuff. Some of us don’t even consider playing on other difficulty levels, but that’s the key to earning the most skulls. Thankfully, there are easier ways to earn skulls. To do that, you’ll need to collect skulls - and if you don’t get perfect scores in missions, you’ll basically get no skulls at all. Orcs Must Die! 3 can really kick your butt if you haven’t upgraded your traps enough.
