Description

Molten mode, formerly Normal mode, is one of the six main Survival modes. Molten mode has 35 waves. It is named after its final boss, the Molten Warlord.

Cash is only gained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. It uses a slightly different method of distributing cash between players, as enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player does all the damage to an enemy, both players will receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it is damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it is a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down. For example, the Molten Warlord gives $1,000 after losing 1% of its health in solo, $500 in duo, $333 in trio and $250 in quad between the players that damaged it.

The health of enemies in this mode scales with the player count, starting at two players. The increase 15% in duo, 25% in trio and 40% in quad. It is applied after attributes, like Bloated, meaning they can affect the health of an enemy. The increase is not always the stated amount.

Rewards

For former rewards, see this mode's Rewards page.

The game calculates how many Coins and EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 50% more EXP (Friday – Sunday), any EXP earned is multiplied by 1.5x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Some maps like Mason Arch can also increase all rewards by a specific amount. Regular EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers.

Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.

Rewards are calculated as:

Coins Reward	EXP Reward	Tower EXP Reward
550 ÷ (1 + [(35 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + 400 (Triumph Bonus)	135 EXP ÷ (1 + [(35 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + 50 EXP (Triumph Bonus)	55 EXP ÷ (1 + [(35 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 65 EXP (Triumph Bonus)

Triumphing Molten mode can give out an additional reward, which can be a crate, consumable or ticket. They are meant to be guaranteed, though due to a bug this does not always happen. Additionally, items are sometimes not given out. These items are:

• Common (55%)
  • Time Scale Ticket (2-4)
  • Revive Ticket (2-3)
  • Spin Ticket (2-3)
  • Low Grade Crate
  • Barricade (2-4)

Wave Structure

Currently, the formula for calculating wave bonus depends on wave. Between waves 1 to 15, the wave bonus is calculated as:

$250 + ([Waves Completed - 1] × $60)^1.03

Between waves 16 and 35, it is calculated as:

$300 + ([Waves Completed - 1] × $75)^1.07

Players	Reduction per Player	Total Reduction
Solo	0%	0%
Duo	5%	10%
Trio	5%	15%
Quad	5%	20%

For example, on Wave 2, the wave bonus is $317.84155407, rounded down to $317. The full number is used in the equation. In duo, it is $286 ($286.057398663 × 0.9), in trio, it is $270 ($270.165320959 × 0.85), while in quad it is $254 ($254.273243256 × 0.8). The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed and no damage was dealt to the base health. It is 40% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 20%.

Before 11th of December 2024, the formula for calculating wave bonus on each wave was:

($205 + (Waves Completed - 1) × $75) ÷ (1 - 0.1 × Players)

Before 23rd of May 2024, the formula for calculating wave bonus on each wave was:

($180 + ($75 × Waves Completed)) × Players

Before the Overhaul Update, it was calculated as:

($50 - 5 × (Players - 1)) × Waves Completed

The waves in Molten mode follow these timings:

Waves	Wave Timer	Skip Time
1-15	1:00	0:20
16	2:00	0:40
17-24	1:00	0:20

Trivia

• Molten mode is the first survival mode in the game to use voice lines.
  • However, the original voice lines were only existent from v1.45.0 until v1.84.0; afterward, Frost Mode became the only survival mode with voice lines.
    • Eventually, v2.0.0 added voice lines to the reworked dialogue, making Molten mode now have voice lines again.
• While listed as appearing in Molten mode in the Index, the Frost Spirit does not actually appear here.
  • This is because on Wave 35, the Frost Spirit is set to spawn 0.7 times which is rounded down to 0, resulting in it not spawning but still allowing for the Index to consider it as an enemy in Molten mode.
  • The Molten Warlord also has the same quirk in Frost mode.
