Description

Rocket Arena is a map with a path that crosses over itself, similar to Crossroads. It has been remade once, significantly changing its appearance.

Design & Path

CurrentVersion 1 & 2

The current version of Rocket Arena is a rooftop-style, abandoned and overgrown map. It appears to be an industrial rooftop that has since been flooded. The main structure of the island is actually a large superstructure building, with billboards printed on the side of the building island.

There are open areas of the island that have billboards and vines inside them, indicating that this too has been flooded over. On the rooftop itself, several buildings can be seen, as well as several emergency exits. The rooftop itself is in a dilapidated state. Various crates and barrels are scattered around the map, while a pipe system can be seen across the rooftop. Several air vents and RPGs are also seen around the map.

The grey stone path begins and ends at the two main buildings on the rooftop. It takes a circular route around the map, crossing over itself in the middle of the map. The path also crosses several gaps, so the path crosses several metal walkways. At the end of the path, two statues can be seen towering over the path.

The first version of Rocket Arena was a brickbattle-styled map, with a blocky feel and circle studs, which resembled an old Roblox-style game. There were nine blue pillars with green and yellow bridges connecting adjacent pillars. Billboards could also be found across the map. Debris from trowels and rocket launchers could be seen around the map.

The grey circle stud path began at an orange spawn. It took a large circular route, crossing over the same point in the middle of the map twice. At the end of the path was a statue that you had to defend.

Rewards

The game calculates how many Coins, Gems 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. Regular EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map.

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

Difficulty reward scaling for survival mode Coins and Exp is 0.85x.
Mode	Coins/Gem Reward	EXP Reward

Fallen	700 ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + 650 (Triumph Only)	200 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + 50 EXP (Triumph Only)
Hidden Wave	75	250 EXP
Frost	800 ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + 1,200 (Triumph Only) 75 (Triumph Only)	200 EXP ÷ (1 + [(40 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2) + 100 EXP (Triumph Only)

Strategy

• The middle platform is the hotspot for ground towers as enemies pass through this area twice.
  • However, space is limited. Precise placement is especially helpful to place as many towers on the middle platform.
    • Military Bases, Farms or Elf Camps should be placed elsewhere so as not to unnecessarily take up space.
  • Even when placed as close to the middle as possible, the DJ Booth is unable to cover the entire platform. Be aware of this.
    • The Commander can cover the entire platform if its range is boosted by the DJ Booth.
• The cliff spots for this map are not ideal since they are away from the path.
  • You may need a DJ Booth to boost the range of cliff towers.
    • This may require a second DJ Booth if the first is boosting the middle platform's ground towers.

• This map used to have enemies briefly go downhill after spawning before the map was remade.
  • Prior to the Overhaul Update, this, Village of Despair, Graveyard and Crossroads were the only maps in which enemies go at an incline. However, Village of Despair was the only one with a major incline.
• There used to be an Easter egg in a corner of the map, where two developers of Tower Defense Simulator were setting fire to Planet3arth, the creator of Tower Battles.
