Towers that gain levels by damage should not farm experience from overkill

If a tower levels up from damage dealt, a huge hit on a nearly dead enemy, or several towers shooting at the same moment, pays far more than the enemy was worth. Strong towers rise too fast and the balance drifts away. This entry shows how to credit only what was needed and who gets it when many hit at once.

Why this works

Experience should measure work that mattered. Damage beyond what an enemy had left did nothing, so crediting it rewards luck and big numbers instead of skill. Going through the hits in a fixed order gives each one a clear, repeatable share.

When not to use it

Skip it when experience is meant to reward effort or time on the field, such as in a relaxed game where every tower should slowly grow no matter how it shoots. Then give a flat amount per shot or per wave.
