Lightning Mode Concept
- For players who want to experience what its like to experience a heavy storm.
- ―Gamemode Description
Description
Lightning mode is one of the six main survival modes. Lightning mode has 40 waves. When Hidden Wave is activated it has 45 waves. The mode is named after some Lightning enemies that appear throughout it. Lightning mode is unlocked after reaching Level 20 and is ordered after Molten mode and before Fallen mode.
Cash is only gained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. It uses a slightly different method of distributing cash between players, as enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player does all the damage to an enemy, both players will receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it is damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it is 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.
The health of enemies in this mode scales with the player count, starting at three players. The increase 7.5% in trio and 17.5% in quad. It is applied after attributes, like Bloated, meaning they can affect the health of an enemy. Health scaling does not affect health of enemies in Hidden Wave
You can activate Hidden Wave by following these certain steps:
- Every player has to enable Skills before starting the match.
- Every player has to have beaten Easy mode, Casual mode, Intermediate mode, and Molten mode in under 15 minutes.
- After voting Lightning mode, sending separate messages that contain these storms in the chat: "Snowstorm", "Sandstorm", and "Thunderstorm". On the last message, the screen will flash white and yellow and a thunder sound will play.
- The base health needs to be damaged by 45 before reaching to Wave 40.
- Defeat Lightning Champion in under 90 seconds without using Mercenary Base or any tower that gives any sort of buffs to other towers, such as DJ Booth, Firework Technician, Ranger, or Ace Pilot on Wave 40. Towers that don't directly/immediately buff your towers, such as Medic or Hacker are still allowed. If done successfully, instead of falling on the ground and turning into ash, it will survive, but laughing and vanishing by a beam of lightning. Towers that can buff other Towers can not be used on Wave 40, but can be used during Hidden Wave. Consumables are also allowed.
- After completing Hidden Wave, the icon of Lightning mode on the difficulty select screen will become inverted and starting any match in Lightning mode will have a 1/64 (1.56%) chance to play either Red Hex Temple or Eye Of The Swarm the entire match.

Each full stop (.) symbol indicates a 1 second delay before the next enemy appears.
A capital X indicates the spawn delay from one enemy is shorter than 0.5 seconds.
A hyphen in-between the spawn amount (1-x) indicates the spawn delay from one enemy is longer than 1 second.
A hyphen next to the number amount (-1x) indicates the enemy starts spawning before the previous enemy has finished spawning in its set of enemies.

Trivia
- Rollerskater and Enhanced Rollerskater use Rusher's models.
- This is intentional, as the creator does not know how to create new enemy models, and Rusher looked the best to them.
- Additionally, their favorite enemies are the Rollerskater enemies, this is why there are 3 Rollerskater enemies, being Rollerskater, Enhanced Rollerskater, and Elite Rollerskater.
- This has been the creator's favorite type of enemies ever since 2023, where they made the original concept.
- The soundtracks that play are some soundtracks that the creator enjoys listening to.
- Some Early-Game enemies, like Short-Circuit and Rollerskater, would have around 20 health, though this did not happen, as Lightning mode is supposed to be easier than Fallen mode.
- Wave 39's Wave Structure is based on Polluted Wasteland II's Wave 24's Wave Structure.
- Commander's "It's do or die!" line is based on the Frost Invasion Event, where Commander says the same thing on the last wave.
- The chance of the easter egg happening after triumphing the Hidden Wave in Lightning mode is a 1/64 chance, which is based on another easter egg that also has a 1/64 chance of happening.
- There are multiple enemies that have statistics that are based on, or directly copied from another enemy.
- On Wave 39, Lightning Guardian has the Bloated and Boss attributes, which is based on Nuclear Guardian, whom has the same attributes on Wave 24 in Polluted Wasteland II.
- Sand Guardian and Snow Guardian also give cash every 50% health, which is also based on Nuclear Guardian.
- Glitched Lightni-Bolt's statistics are based on Bug.
- Weatherer's statistics are based on Reaper.
- Weatherer, once its image has been made, will use the same exact model as Reaper.
- Sparkle's ability is based on a Honkai: Star Rail character of the same name.
- This is why, currently, the placeholder image of Sparkle is of the Honkai: Star Rail character of the same name.
- The creator is unsure if this is accurate, as they've never played Honkai: Star Rail ever.
- On Wave 39, Lightning Guardian has the Bloated and Boss attributes, which is based on Nuclear Guardian, whom has the same attributes on Wave 24 in Polluted Wasteland II.
- The Wave Number in Hidden Wave of Lightning mode starts duplicating and glitching out, mainly the third act of Hidden Wave, being Wave 444444.
- This is a reference to Act 2 in Doki Doki Literature Club!, where the same thing happens on Day 3 of Act 2.
