Rewards
The game calculates how many Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coins, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Gems and Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Regular Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map.
Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
Strategy
- There is not too much space to place ground towers on Dead Ahead.
- The Turret may take up valuable ground space with its large placement footprint.
- You cannot place towers at the start of the map.
- This means enemies with spawning abilities, like the Dark Necromancer, can accumulate enemies before towers can attack it, if the range of your towers are short.
- There are quite a lot of cliff spots on this map, so the Sniper, Ranger and Mortar are highly recommended.
- However, since the cliffs are relatively small, the player should be careful in order to utilize them.
- It is more likely for players to bring ground towers in this map. The Medic is a great addition as it can remove all stuns with its ability.
- As the path is quite short, towers that slow down enemies, like the Sledger, Toxic Gunner and Electroshocker, are recommended.
- The Brawler is also a great option as it is able to knockback enemies.
- Towers that can apply a chill effect such as the Cryomancer and Freezer can be useful as it can slightly slow down major bosses.
