Design & Path

Interactive Map

Rewards

The game calculates how many Coin Coins, Gem Gems and Experience EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more Experience EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Experience EXP earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any Experience EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Regular Experience 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

• This map is somewhat short, so make sure to use your space wisely.
  • The Commander can help by decreasing a tower's firerate as the path is very short.
  • You can also use slowing towers to slow down enemies.
• The Ranger can be used on this map, though be aware of the short path on this map and the Ranger's slow firerate.
• The Military Base is less effective on this map since its units do not have a long period of time when it can attack enemies.
  • The Crook Boss's units are not as affected as they stop to attack enemies.
• Towers that rely on corners to be more effective, like the Ace Pilot or Shotgunner, are not recommended on this map due to its lack of corners.
• The Archer can be used in this map as the piercing can be effectively be used due to the straight path.
