Dungeon Defenders - Lifestream Hollow Nightmare Campaign

Why I Run Lifestream Hollow Campaign (combat ~10m, total ~14m)
So I can play Lifestream Hollow Survival. Running Lifestream Hollow Survival is really about farming Nature's Griffins. It's a good map to farm armor, but it is pretty slow. That's why you play the campaign. To play survival.

The weapon drops from this map aren't anything special, and I don't use any of them, and this map does not drop accessories. I'd rather get the weapon rewards as a byproduct of Griffin farming.

This video is made for myself as I work through unlocking survival for my alternate account. I do take my time so that I can actually see what I'm doing. This is the build that I use. Lastly, the build does use tower stacking. A link to a video on setting up tower stacking is below in the description.

Things that can help new and old players:
1.) I'd watch this guide from Retro Pat:    • 33 TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS IN DUNGEON DE...  
It's a great summary of things a lot of new players would miss. The comments are worth reading as well and are mostly from extremely active members of the DDRnG discord group.

2.) I'd join the DDRnG Discord. It's a great place to learn from, ask questions, and find others willing to help run maps if needed.   / discord  

3.) Chiku's 0 to Early late-game Progression Guide 2023: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
This guide is THE roadmap to help new players navigate the massive amount of content.

4.) If you don't have the game, buy the Ultimate Edition as well as the Hermit DLC. The Hermit DLC was introduced in the summer of 2023 and is not included in the ultimate edition of the game. Hermit is a great character, and many of his towers have uses on almost every map.

5.) General Best In Slot Guide for Newcomers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
This is a great cheat sheet on what's generally considered best for each hero and each type of hero.
