Updated on Jan 3, 2026. Combined single direction Cloud Tower to the nearest double direction Cloud Towers (so 3 pointed east and west now). Also made the build even lazier. Time went from under 9 minutes to almost 8 minutes.

Build everything but DSTs before starting the first wave. Build DSTs during wave and start upgrading the beams. Use a Jester upper on the second wave and wheel after upping the buff beams. No need to upgrade anything else if your stats are high enough. Switch to your tower booster till the last wave.

The Spike Blockade helps keep the spiders from getting stuck. The DSTs get rid of the wyverns faster.

Take out a hero booster with a genie for the last wave with splits of two monks with DPS pets and another character with a cat. Tower boost with your hero booster (or have him provide mana to whichever of the monks has the best tower boosting). I place the 3 splits far enough behind the Spike Blockade, so that Santa Clause favors the Spike Blockade instead of accidentally smacking the AFK DPS out of position. I just spawn the characters in and leave them be because I'm lazy. I also just keep my tower booster out and use him to hero boost because I'm too lazy to switch to my actual hero booster. Time shown below is from me being lazy.

Mobs may reach the north crystal. If they do, just shoot at them through the window with your booster monk.

For picking up mana efficiently, start with the south room mana chest (Hint 3), jump out the west window towards the chest at Hint 4, and then go clockwise around the map, building auras and collecting chests as you go. Collect the chests at spawn when you go to build the 2nd stack with your Warden.
