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.

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.
