Brave Shorties
The king does not send a whole army this time. Instead, he throws a tiny strike team of shorties into the rescue mission for his kidnapped daughter. The story in Brave Shorties moves from the royal castle through distant regions, where waves of villains block the way to the princess. Battles unfold as short, fast skirmishes, so every squad slot matters. At the start, the squad includes simple swordsmen in the front line and a single archer behind them. As you clear new stages in this strategy game, stronger shorties join in, like snipers, axe fighters, sorcerers, and healers. Enemy groups also change, so the same setup rarely works for long.
How to play?
Drag warriors into the grid before each battle and lock in your formation. Place tanky melee shorties in the first row to absorb hits, then keep mages, archers, and snipers behind them for safe damage. I usually tuck healers in the very back, where they can restore health without taking direct attacks.
Win fights to collect gold, then spend it to level up specific units that you use most. Stronger shorties boost attack, health, or support power, so upgraded lineups clear earlier levels faster and make later waves more manageable. If a formation loses, rearrange positions instead of only grinding upgrades, because placement heavily changes how battles play out. Keep experimenting with different mixes of melee, ranged, and magic shorties, and push your compact squad all the way to the imprisoned princess in Brave Shorties.
