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 1.25x.

Strategy

• The middle of the map is the ideal spot for towers, as it allows them to cover both paths at once.
  • Towers with high range, such as the Turret, Mortar, Ranger or Pursuit, are useful here, as multiple towers are not able to cover both paths particularly well.
    • The DJ Booth can help out by boosting the range of your towers.
• Cliff towers should be placed on the giant spire, as they can cover most of the path from that spot.
