How to Push Higher Waves in Be The Final Boss

A screenshot walkthrough for climbing waves: formation, skill tree order, base choice, and throne income tips.

Quick answer

Place Orc or Skull King at the front with Demonic Skeleton Archers behind, max Population nodes in the skill tree first, then pick up damage, attack speed, and health multipliers. Equip Permafrost Palace for minion HP and extra souls, and sit on the throne for coin income between pushes.

Step-by-step: push higher waves

  1. 1

    Build a front-to-back formation

    Stack melee tanks at the front and line Demonic Skeleton Archers behind them. A dense block keeps heroes from reaching your backline and lets archers fire continuously.

    Use Skull King as the frontline tank

    Skull King absorbs hero damage so the archer formation stays intact. The author recommends at least level 1–2 for Skull King; higher levels make later waves much safer.

    Max Population nodes first

    Population is the highest-priority skill tree branch for pushing waves because it raises your unit cap. More slots mean more frontline tanks and more backline damage.

    Add damage, attack speed, and health

    After Population, invest in Super Unit Damage, Unit Attack Speed, and Super Unit Health. These multipliers scale your entire formation and matter more than individual unit levels at high waves.

    Equip Permafrost Palace

    Permafrost Palace gives minion health and a soul-gain set bonus. The author calls it the best base for this setup, with Dracula's Castle as a higher-HP alternative if you can afford it.
