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.

Rewards

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 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
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 75	Experience 250 EXP

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.

Trivia

• This was the first map to be added to have paths intersect without being a two-pathed map.
• 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.
  • This was removed a day later to not anger Planet3arth.
• There used to be a glitch where you could place towers on the baseplate if you angled your camera correctly.
• The badge for this map was called Blast Arena.
  • This map was also called Blast Zone by BelowNatural.
• This map was originally based on the original Roblox games with, as the name suggests, Rocket Launchers.
• Unlike many other maps that existed prior to the MEGA Update, this map was not remade or removed.
  • This was however remade in the Frost Invasion Update.
• There were formerly statues at the end of the map taken from the GDILIVES Shoulder Pal and Razuatix Shoulder Pal, accessories made by BelowNatural.
  • The GDILIVES statue is seen holding the Crucible from Doom Eternal. This is a reference to GDI's love for the game.
  • The Razuatix statue is seen holding a script, referring to him being a former developer for the game.
• The billboards on the outside have an old-school Roblox style, referencing the old Rocket Arena and its origin as an old Roblox game.
  • Behind the enemy spawn, you can find a Haunted Mansion billboard. This is a reference to the game Haunted Mansion made by Shedletsky.
