The following guide will take you through everything you need to know about the Grinder in order to help you choose whether or not this Trap is for you. Players will have to utilize other Traps such as Barricades for pathing and Tar Traps for ensuring that a mob stays directly in front of the Grinder for long enough periods to take enough damage from the Grinder before it is on cool down. Many strategists place a Grinder low on the list of Traps you should purchase first, however, I feel like they are being less than fair in these assumptions as when Grinders are used correctly they can really help aide a player on their quest of defeating all types of Mobs.Įssentially, if a players is planning on using a Grinder they are going to be looking at a variety of other costs in order to make sure that they get the most damage they can. The sad reality of the Grinder is the fact that players will have to essentially force mobs to walk directly in front of them to deal any damage, making players who don’t focus on creating mazes or don’t focus on pushing mobs onto the sides of a wall to lose a great deal of damage with these traps. I don’t know if it’s simply because I loved grinders in the previous versions of Orcs Must Die or if it’s simply because I like the aesthetic of the Grinder as the reality is that Grinders aren’t the most powerful or even anywhere near the most powerful trap that players can place. When it comes to setting up kill boxes, I have to admit that I have a massive soft spot for Grinders.
