Wave 1~4 Mechanicus Placement Tips
Place Pyro + Electro + Mine Near The Exit

To prevent most of the enemies from entering, place the mine in the middle. Make sure to place a replacement Mine when it explodes. Electro and Pyro can trigger overload that pushes enemies back while dealing strong damage.
Place Hydro + Cryo On The Left And Right Side

This will make the progress of enemies slower enabling them to take more damage before reaching exit point.
Wave 4~8 Mechanicus Placement Tips
Place Anemo Mechanicus Between Cryo & Hydro

This will further slower the progress of small mobs making them not able to pass.
Place 2 Mines Near The Exit

Place one mine in one of the slot right infront of the 3 slots in-front of the exit.
Wave 9~10 Mechanicus Placement Tips
Replace Anemo Mechanicus With Mine

To stop huge enemies from penetrating your defenses, it is recommended to place bombs to replace the Anemo mechanicus in later waves.
