2 - As soon your blue mages level, upgrade them. In order to win this level, you have to upgrade them as soon as they level. By wave 3 you should have your blue guys upgraded to level 5. If you don't, then either you're unlucky, or you didn't upgrade them fast enough. Continue upgrading your blue mages.
RBW4, your blue mages should be fully upgraded. During wave 4, only upgrade one of your blue mages (the 1st one that levels up). Do not upgrade the other blue mage.

Strategy:

1 - Start off building and completing the mage setup in the picture.
Upgrade evenly, except rush 2 units per side to level 3, and rush all level 4 to level 5. (when i say rush, i mean the 1st level 2 unit that can be upgraded to level 3 should be, even if you haven't upgraded everyone to level 2 yet)
Prioritize the 2 mages per side closest to the middle corridor.

2 - At around wave 13 you should have lots of gold, so fill up the top and bottom squares with warriors. Upgrade everyone when they level, focusing on mages first.
When you reach the point where the enemies die before they even reach the bottom, stop upgrading your mages and focus on your warriors.

3 - At around wave 21, you should have lots of gold, and since you shouldn't upgrade your mages any further, go ahead and fill out every square with warriors. The picture doesn't cover this because it looks messy.

4 - At the final boss level just focus on upgrading the warriors on 1 square to a very high level (7 or so). You need about 5 lives in order to beat this.
