4. Starting the Alpha Boss Fight and Initial Wave Strategy
- ✅ The boss fight is started with Asylidons with 35k health and 900 melee damage.

10. Tower Level Mechanics and Failed Attempt Due to a Bronto
- ✅ The front towers have a different color than the rear ones, indicating different levels.
- ✅ The attempt fails because an overpowered Bronto spawns.

- ✅ Another attempt with the same setup, but with two additional Asylidons on each side.
- ✅ The main difference is that this time no overpowered Bronto spawns.
