Defend Your Village from Aerial Raid Waves

Prepare Before Wave Three

Airraid enemies begin calling in air support during wave three of village raids. Before this happens, gather defensive materials and position yourself strategically.

• Stock up on arrows, beds, or other ranged weapons
• Build tall pillars or towers to gain height advantage over incoming aircraft
• Clear rooftops of obstacles so you have firing lines
• Position yourself near the village center where you can see multiple approach angles

Counter the Aerial Assault

When aircraft arrive, they'll drop TNT bombs and strafe with rotary cannons. Stay mobile and use cover.

• Take high ground—pilots often circle below their altitude
• Use the village structures as shields between bomb drops
• Focus fire on one aircraft at a time rather than spreading damage
• Watch for bomb shadows on the ground to predict impact zones and move away
• If you have access to ranged weapons with knockback, use them to destabilize pilots

The longer you survive each wave, the more intense subsequent waves become. Prioritize staying alive over eliminating every enemy—the raid ends when all waves are cleared or you die.
