Rewards

The game calculates how many CoinCoins, GemGems and Experience EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 50% more Experience EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Experience EXP earned is multiplied by 1.5x 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.

Difficulty reward scaling for survival mode Coins and Exp is 0.85x.

Strategy

  • Towers should generally be placed around the middle, as for towers with higher range this will allow them to cover the most of the path.
    • Due to the compact layout of the path, very high range towers like the Ranger can easily cover it all.
  • This map contains two separate loops which can be pretty good spots for low range towers like the Brawler, Slasher or Shotgunner.
  • The layout of the map contains many spots where the Ace Pilot's main circle path covers a portion of the path majority of the time, making this map a decent choice for it.
