Orcs Must Die! 3 - Back to Basics #20 - Sludge Shelves (Rift Lord)

I decided to do a challenge where I reset my account and took the shortest path possible to five-skulling all main campaign maps on Rift Lord without purchasing any equipment. This means that I am stuck with whatever weapons, traps and trinkets that I get from completing maps, which in some cases makes it so I had to switch up my strategies. The fourteenth map of the game, Sludge Shelves, is hard to five-skull. Not because the enemy composition is necessarily harder than other maps, but when sappers die they can sometimes throw enemies onto the rift platform. This can happen even if you kill them at the gate where they spawn, and there isn't a whole lot you can do to prevent it. It almost happened at 8:55 on this run, luckily it didn't quite land on the platform and I spotted the enemy on the minimap in time to kill it. Then it actually did happen around 10:40, but this time I was prepared and legged it straight to the platform. Enjoy!
