Tactics

The Bladesinger Hall does not have any ranged attacks, unlike its previous levels, the Warden Barrack and the Ranger Barrack. As a result, make sure you have towers capable of attacking enemies that are capable of flying, or purposely stay out of range, to provide cover for the Bladesingers.
While Perfect Parry allows the Bladesingers to soak up damage while it is active, the Bladesingers are still not exceptionally durable. Thus, it is recommended to avoid overwhelming them with too many strong enemies, and support them with towers, as well as Forest Keepers to heal the Bladesingers while they fight.
If you intend to let your Bladesingers face waves of small foes, it is advised to upgrade Blade Dance first, before other skills. Blade Dance allows the Bladesingers to kill off lesser foes before they reach melee range, to thin out the horde pressuring on your choke points. Remember, EACH bladesinger performs Blade Dance, so in reality, 6, 9, or 12 attacks are done depending on upgrade purchases.
