__TOC__
==Description==
'''The Heights''' is currently a normalregular [[Maps|map]] in rotation, but it was an event [[Maps|map]] during the [[SFOTH Event]]. Like other event maps, it had a specialized wave structure with special enemies. Upon triumphing in the event version, players were rewarded with the [[Gladiator]] on Normal, Hard or Insane modes.
 
'''The Heights''' has the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier, which changes the appearance of some enemies, replaces some enemies with other enemies and changes stats of some enemies.
 
In the event version of this map, there were only 12 waves with some unique enemies appearing, including the [[Swordmaster]]. Players started with {{Money|2,000}} (or {{Money|2,100}} if the players were in the Paradoxum Games group). While you could choose the difficulty of the map, this had relatively little effect on gameplay, except that harder difficulties gave more money per wave (ironically making it easier) and increased how much {{Coins|Coins}} and {{Exp|}} you got. The event used the same shared cash system as the main modes. Due to the rewards, wave bonuses and shared cash being the same as the main modes, they changed multiple times during the event.

|The current version of '''The Heights''' is a battle arena-style map taking place above the clouds. There are many artificial pillars and walkways spanning over the map, with some walkways featuring obstacles. Multiple spawn points scattered across the map. Statues can be found in various spots around the map, all of which hold swords from ''Sword Fight on the Heights''. Multiple portals can also be found on the map.<br/>The path starts at a spawn point and ends at a portal, taking multiple turns around the pillars.

The path starts at a spawn point and ends at a portal, taking multiple turns around the pillars.
The second version of '''The Heights''' was a map that takes above the clouds. Several ruined towers could be seen towering above the clouds in this map. Some wooden bridges and planks could be seen around the map. Some swords and portals could also be seen around the map.<br/>The cobblestone path begins at a green portal and ends at a yellow portal. The path was mostly a medieval bridge, with some wooden bridges occasionally taking the path.

==Rewards==
The game calculates how many {{Coins|Coins}}, {{Gem|Gems}} and {{Exp|}} you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more {{Exp|}} (Friday – Sunday), any {{Exp|}} earned is multiplied by 2x through the [[XP Boost]] modifier. The VIP [[Gamepasses|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 is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.

==Trivia==
*'''The Heights''' was based on Shedletsky's ''Sword FightFights on the Heights IV'' game, a well-known game on Roblox.
**The current version of this map uses the same skybox asin thesaid game, called ''Sword Fight on the HeightsAlien IVRed''.
*'''The Heights''' was the first event map to be added to the game. It was also the first event map to return as a regular map.
*On the current version of the map, multiple statues can be found holding various Roblox swordswords. These swords are the Darkheart, Illumina, Firebrand, Venomshank, Ghostwalker, Ice Dagger and Windforce.
**These statues are located in the same spots as the swords were in Shedletsky's ''Sword FightFights on The Heights IV''.
*This map was updated in the [[Overhaul v1.3|Frost Invasion Update]] so that the map was more in line with the artistic style of the game.
**After the update, many more easter eggs could be seen:
