Dungeon Door Defender pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Keep the castle door alive through each wave. Hit enemies, shoot lit hero and mana shots, and complete the side target banks for arrows. Between waves, spend gold on repairs and upgrades.

The goal

Enemy waves begin automatically. Hit enemies with the ball, use the lit hero and mana shots, and complete the side target banks for an arrow volley. Spend gold between waves to repair and upgrade the castle door.

  1. When a wave begins, keep the ball moving through on-screen enemies so they cannot reach and damage the castle door.

  2. Shoot the lit hero shots to summon defenders and the lit mana shots to give the ball stronger magic effects.

  3. Complete both side target banks to fire an arrow volley through the enemies crossing the lower screen.

  4. Protect the ball as well as the door: a drain damages door health, and the game ends only when that health reaches zero.
