Past wave 37 the index stops being cheap, boss HP jumps into the tens of thousands, and the timer shop finally has prices that match a long run. This is still the same cards. It is not a level grind. The cards do not show levels.
Speed is the hole
Early dinosaurs are fast. Compsognathus is SPD 26, Troodon is SPD 23, Microraptor is SPD 21. Bosses are not. From Titanhorn at 3.5 down to Grovebreaker at 2.8, the red cards crawl. Your late index dinosaurs mostly sit at SPD 11 to 15.
Dimorphodon is the exception that is actually on a card: DINO - WAVE 80, SPD 30, HP 1.4K, DMG 95, $320. If a late wave is leaking fast dinosaurs and your board is Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, and Titanosaurus, you stacked HP and DMG and left speed behind. Dimorphodon is cheaper than Diplodocus ($855) and Titanosaurus ($1,156).
Compsognathus remains the fastest early card. Dimorphodon is the fastest card on the whole index.
Boss HP is the other hole
Wrecker at wave 70 is HP 23K. Skyreach at wave 90 is HP 25K. Grovebreaker at wave 250 is HP 30K, DMG 120, SPD 2.8, $4,000. Ankylosaurus is DMG 140 on a body with HP 580. The boss HP and the dinosaur HP are not the same scale. You need many cards firing, plus traps whose text says they hit a lane or slow a crosser.
Spine Roller says it grinds the whole lane, at $240,000 on the restock that was filmed. Tar Pit says anything crossing it crawls, at $180,000. Those sentences match a slow, large boss better than another SPD 11 tank does. They are still a rotating stock. Open ELITE TRAPS and read the live row before you treat this paragraph as a menu.
Two repair rows
Bone Mender, Epic, $17,500, x1 Stock: Repairs your most damaged defences. Salvage Crane, Legendary, $300,000, x1 Stock: Rebuilds your destroyed traps mid-run. The crane is for a trap that is already gone. The mender is for one that is hurt. Buying the crane first, with no trap down, spends $300,000 on a sentence that cannot trigger.
Neither row shows a repair amount. Place them because of the sentence on the row. Do not invent a heal number.
The long-range shop row
Pterodactyl Perch was Epic, $20,000, Out of Stock, with the line Dive-bombs the farthest dino, at any range. That is the shop's answer to something standing at the back of the lane. It is not Dimorphodon and it is not on the index. If your shop shows the perch in stock, the price on that live row wins over the $20,000 from this clip.
The egg is a side cost
HATCH [E] costs 79 of the hexagon currency, not cash. Galaxy Rex is 5.7% on that panel. A late-wave player who spends every hexagon on the egg is choosing the 5.7% portrait over Tar Pit's slow. That can be right if the board is already fine. It is a bad first move if wave 70 Wrecker is still walking through.
Frost Egg at $10000 has no percent table. It is less than Bone Mender and far less than Tar Pit.
What this is not
It is not a code. The top bar does not grow a Codes button at wave 50. It is not a script. The highest DMG on a dinosaur card in the copied index is Titanosaurus at 145, then Ankylosaurus at 140. When a patch adds a card, the 33/33 counter is the tell. Until that counter moves, the route above is the whole index plus one shop restock and one trap restock.
A later gameplay video discusses an on-screen event called Sky Raid, extra bosses, mounts, and traps that were not on these index cards. Those spoken names are not added here as stats. Use the live index and the live shop.
