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 is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.

Difficulty reward scaling for survival mode Coins and Exp is 1.25x.

Strategy

• Generally, cliff space is limited on this map. Most cliff spots are far apart from each other, meaning it is quite difficult to boost all of your cliff towers with one Commander or DJ Booth.
• Ground space is also quite limited.
  • The optimal spot to place ground towers near the start of the map or at the end of the map.
  • Ground space on the smaller islands is generally quite limiting.
• Towers with high range such as the Ranger can cover most of the path, despite the limited spots in the middle of the map.
  • The Pursuit can easily cover the entire map as it can be relocated using its Patrol ability.
