Description

Sorrowful Remains is the event map for the first night of the Solar Requiem Event. Like other event maps, this map has a specialized wave structure with special enemies. Players start with a varying amount of cash, based on how many players there are in the match. The rewards received are based on how many waves were survived and if the match was won. This map has two difficulties, Easy and Hard.

Cash is only gained if an enemy was killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained was a set amount of cash, which was not always equal to the enemy's health. Enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player did all the damage to an enemy, both players would receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you received 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it was damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it was a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down.

Health of enemies in this mode scaled with player count and difficulty. In Easy, it is 10% in quad. In Hard, it is 35% in duo, 70% in trio and 100% in quad.

In the Hard difficulty, Skills and wave clear bonuses are disabled.

Design & Path

Sorrowful Remains is an abandoned castle which has since been long destroyed. On the walls various cracks in the walls, cogs and vines can be seen. A bit lower on the walls are a few paintings, some of which are torn while others have actual paintings on them. Directly next to the walls is a small elevated area with various candles on it, stairs leading down, a hall to the exit and an entrance that goes further into the castle, blocked by a pedestal with a bow and arrow no it. The bow and arrow have light shining on them from a crack in the walls. In the center of the building are various platforms, rubble, broken pillars and holes in the ground. The roof of the castle has various chandeliers.

The path starts at the pedestal and ends at another exit to the castle. It takes multiple turns, avoiding the platforms and rubble placed on the map.

Preset Loadouts

Loadouts could be only selected in the Easy difficulty. Alongside these preset options, players could opt to use the player's current loadout as the first choice. However, if one's loadout contained no towers, this option would be unavailable.

Tactician

A well-rounded and adaptable loadout.

Experimental

A loadout that brings a variety of towers that excel in specific situations.

Crowd Control

A class that focuses on applying debuffs and AOE damage.

Rewards

The game calculates how many Coins 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. Some maps like Mason Arch can also increase all rewards by a specific amount. Regular EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers.

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

For the first triumph, the rewards are significantly boosted

Rewards are calculated as:

Coins Reward	EXP Reward	Tower EXP Reward
Easy Rewards
50 ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.4) + 50 (Triumph Bonus)	20 EXP ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 20 EXP (Triumph Bonus)	10 EXP ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 10 EXP (Triumph Bonus)
Hard Rewards
100 ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^2.5) + 150 (Triumph Bonus)	35 EXP ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 25 EXP (Triumph Bonus)	20 EXP ÷ (1 + [(15 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 25 EXP (Triumph Bonus)

For first time triumph, the coins reward is multiplied by 4 while experience and tower experience rewards are boosted by 2.5. This multiplier boost is additive with the modifiers, so for example with the XP Boost boost the experience boost becomes 3. The rewards with the multipliers applied are:

Coins Reward	EXP Reward	Tower EXP Reward
Easy Rewards
400	100 EXP	50 EXP
Hard Rewards
1,000	150 EXP	112 EXP

Wave Structure

Currently, Sorrowful Remains has one wave bonuses, based on the current wave:

$225 + ([Waves Completed - 1] × $65)^1.18

Depending on player count, the wave bonus is reduced using multipliers. However, this only applies to the Easy difficulty, in Hard there is no multiplier and the wave bonus is the same regardless of player count. These multipliers are:

Players	Reduction per Player	Total Reduction
Solo	0%	0%
Duo	3%	6%
Trio	2%	6%
Quad	3%	12%

The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed. It is 20% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 10%. In the Hard difficulty, it is always 0%.

The waves in Sorrowful Remains mode follow these timings:

Waves	Wave Timer	Skip Time
1-7	0:30	0:10
8-11	0:45	0:15
12-14	1:00	0:20
40	∞	N/A

Bolded names indicates an enemy type's debut.

Strategy

• Due to the enemies on this map having low health and some of them being Lead enemies, early-game towers with lead detection like the Snowballer, Demoman, Golden Demoman, Sniper or Golden Scout should be used.
  • Towers without lead detection such as the Scout, Militant or Golden Soldier can also be used so long they are supported by towers with lead detection.
• Enemies often spawn in crowds, AOE towers such as the Mortar and Demoman may be helpful.

Trivia

• The castle contains a family painting, where Penumbras' pet corgi can be seen on it.
  • The skeleton of the dog can also be found directly next to the painting, and thanks to its body being there it is possible to tell from its collar that the dog was called Finnely.
