Step-by-step evolution process

1. The Falcon → The Falcon (Sacrifice)

To evolve the base Falcon to The Falcon (Sacrifice), you must perform a large unit sacrifice and meet the in-game requirement tied to the item that changes when enough units are consumed. Practically, this requires sacrificing around 200 expendable units (use low-value or easily replaced units) so the Falcon's evolution item transforms and the Sacrifice form becomes available.

2. The Falcon (Sacrifice) → The Falcon (of Darkness)

Once you have The Falcon (Sacrifice), use its active ability commonly referred to as I, Sacrifice. Activating that ability triggers the evolution path toward the Darkness form. Typically you must use or "pop" this ability once under the proper conditions (for example during an active wave or when sacrifices are possible) to unlock The Falcon (of Darkness).

3. The Falcon (Sacrifice) → The Falcon (of Light)

To obtain The Falcon (of Light), continue to use the I, Sacrifice ability again after the Darkness stage. Community-tested play patterns indicate you usually need to activate the ability a second time (i.e., pop the ability twice) to progress from Darkness into Light. Time these activations safely—preferably when your defenses can handle waves—so the evolution completes without losing map control.

Unit tier and role

The fully evolved Falcon, especially the Falcon (of Light), is treated as a top-tier meta unit in many competitive setups. It functions as a versatile meta damage-dealer and can also provide supporting utility through passive buffs when properly positioned. Expect the Light form to outperform earlier forms in damage output and utility in endgame scenarios.

Gameplay tips to improve with The Falcon

• Time ability usage: Use the I, Sacrifice ability when wave pressure is manageable so the map doesn't collapse while evolving.
• Sacrifice expendable units: Sacrifice low-cost or redundant units to reach the 200-unit requirement without weakening your frontline too much.
• Position for coverage: Place Falcon where its range and passive buffs overlap the most allied towers to magnify its effect.
• Synergize with branded towers: If Falcon gains bonuses for branded or buffed allies, cluster it with buff sources to boost damage and range.
• Resource pacing: Build income and a stable defense before committing to evolution so you can afford ability activations and replacements.
• Complementary composition: Pair Falcon with dedicated tanks and crowd-control units so it can focus on DPS and buffs.
• Test on different maps: Some maps or enemy compositions favor Darkness vs Light; adapt which final form you aim for based on the stage.

Short frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I have to evolve Falcon in strict order?

A: Yes. The chain goes base Falcon → Falcon (Sacrifice) → Falcon (of Darkness) → Falcon (of Light). Darkness and Light are unlocked by using the active ability at the right moments.

Q: How many units must I sacrifice for the first evolution?

A: The commonly used requirement is around 200 units to transform the evolution item and obtain Falcon (Sacrifice). Use expendable units so your main defense remains intact.

Q: Is Falcon (of Light) always better than Falcon (of Darkness)?

A: Generally the Light form has stronger final stats and more utility, but Darkness can still be very strong depending on the map, wave types, and your overall composition. Choose based on situational needs.

Q: Will evolving Falcon cost resources or reset stats?

A: Evolution consumes sacrifices and requires specific ability usage; you should expect resource and timing costs. Stats typically improve with evolution rather than reset.

Q: Any quick tips to not fail the evolution?

A: Ensure you have income and a backup defense before activating I, Sacrifice; sacrifice only expendable units; and activate the ability in off-peak wave moments where possible.
