</group> </infobox>Description
[edit]Retro Heights is a map in the survival map rotation. It is a retro version of The Heights map.
Design & Path
[edit]Retro The Heights is a battle arena-style map taking place above the clouds. There are many artificial pillars and walkways spanning over the map that you could place ground towers on. There are also several battle paraphernalia, just like Sword Fight on the Heights.
The path starts at a green spawn point and ends at a red spawn point.

Rewards
[edit]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.
| Difficulty reward scaling for survival mode Coins and Exp is 1.25x. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mode | Coins/Gem Reward | EXP Reward |
| Easy | Coin 250 ÷ (1 + [(20 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 50 (Triumph Only) | Experience 50 EXP ÷ (1 + [(20 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) |
| Casual | Coin 350 ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 100 (Triumph Only) | Experience 75 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + Experience 15 EXP (Triumph Only) |
| Intermediate | Coin 500 ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 100 (Triumph Only) | Experience 120 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) |
| Molten | Coin 550 ÷ (1 + [(35 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + Coin 400 (Triumph Only) | Experience 135 EXP ÷ (1 + [(35 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + Experience 50 EXP (Triumph Only) |
| Fallen | Coin 700 ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + Coin 650 (Triumph Only) | Experience 200 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + Experience 50 EXP (Triumph Only) |
| Hidden Wave | Gem 125 | Experience 250 EXP |
| Frost | Coin 800 ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + Coin 1,200 (Triumph Only) Gem 75 (Triumph Only) |
Experience 200 EXP ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + Experience 100 EXP (Triumph Only) |
Strategy
[edit]- Space in general is at a premium on this map. There are relatively few ground spots on this map, most of them being away from the path.
- Because of this, towers with larger placement footprints, like the Turret may not be that useful here.
- However, there is a lot of cliff spots on this map, making it optimal for towers like the Ranger. Due to their high range, they are also not as affected by placement spots being away from the path.
- The Military Base can be quite useful on this map as its units can attack enemies from the opposite side of the map.
- If you need to use the Farm and Military Base, make sure that these towers are on the pillar near the end of the map.
- Short-ranged towers, like the Slasher or Shotgunner, should not be used on this map given the distance between ground spots and the path.
- Due to the separation of cliff and ground towers, it may be hard to boost cliff towers with only one DJ Booth or Commander.
Trivia
[edit]- Retro Heights is based on Shedletsky's Sword Fights on Retro Heights IV game, a well-known game on Roblox.
- On the current version of the map, multiple statues can be found holding various Roblox sword. These swords are the Illumina, Firebrand, Venomshank, Ghostwalker, Ice Dagger and Windforce.
- These are located in the same spots as the swords were in Shedletsky's Sword Fights on Retro Heights IV.
Update History
