Tower Battles

Tower Battles is a tower defense game in which the player places down towers to defend against zombies trying to reach the end of the path. Players can play on versus mode, where the objective is to outlast the opponent(s) and they can send zombies against the opposing team, or survival, where players try to survive as long as possible. In both modes, there are a total of 40 waves and each team gets 100 health. Beating all 40 waves will reward the player with a triumph. However, triumphing in versus is impossible as of July 22, 2020 as Endbringers (slow zombies with 125k health) will respawn infinitely until a team loses.

Towers Towers are NPCs that damage zombies or support the player/towers in alternative ways. All players start with a single-target low-damage tower, the Scout, and can purchase more towers using credits won through matches or bought with Robux. Players at default have four tower slots, but an additional one can be purchased for 2000 credits after obtaining 50 versus wins (5th tower slot removed at an unknown date, please update this page).

Towers can be placed and upgrade throughout the match. Differing tower types, such as Phaser-Tick, Income, Single-Target, Track, and AoE can all be utilized to the player's advantage to take down incoming enemies. Income-based towers, such as the Farm and Tweeter, award cash per round survived, and typically do very low-and sometimes even zero-damage.

Zombies Zombies are the main enemy of the game. A zombie that walks through the end gate will subtract from the player's team the number of health it has left (for example, if a Boss1 passes the end gate, and the base has 100 hp left, along with the Boss1 having 50 health, the base health would be subtracted by 50). Zombies are of different health and speed, with late-game zombies being generally faster and stronger. In addition, some zombies are able to attack a team's towers or spawn other zombies. In versus mode, players can pay cash to send the opposing team certain zombies.

The Void is the final boss that appears in Versus and Survival mode at Wave 40. It can also be encountered on Wave 0000000. The Void is a boss that boasts an extremely high health of 500,000, a very slow speed, and several abilities. After two Guardians spawn, the Void will appear and scream, delivering a huge shockwave at a large radius that stuns all towers on the ground. The Void can also stomp to stun towers and is capable of summoning additional enemies.

In order to successfully defeat the Void, high-damaging towers, like the Railgunner and Zed, are generally used by players. Having crowd control or splash-damaging towers such as the Mortar can assist with clearing hordes of zombies cluttered in front of the Void, allowing for towers like the Phaser to lock onto it. The Void is immune to most effects, including the Stunner's shock, but it can be slowed down slightly by the Harpoon Hunter's rods by a maximum of 10%. Currency You get coins from any mode 100 if you beat it and you get wins by beating Versus mode Maps Maps of different lengths are available for voting after joining a match. If none of the three maps on the voting screen are satisfactory, players can vote to veto the maps and get another three. Because different maps have different lengths and thus different difficulties, many players challenge themselves by trying to triumph on shorter maps or play in longer maps to win easily.

Vetoing a map in Versus will require both players, and after one veto, they cannot do so anymore and must select from their current map pool. As of November 2023, Borderlands has been removed from the Versus map rotation.

Events Events are special modes unlocked during a specific time, usually to celebrate a holiday such as Halloween or Christmas. Event game modes have 10-15 waves featuring special event-themed zombies and award players with a greater amount of starting cash. Players who beat the event will be awarded with an event tower that is permanently kept in the user's inventory, after the event ends the event tower will become unobtainable. As of October 28th, 2023, this claim has been disputed. Hallowboomer and Graveyard, two towers from previous Halloween events, have become temporarily available with currency obtained upon either event completion or loss.

Types of Towers Type Description Single Single-targeting towers can only attack one enemy at a time within their range. Splash Splash-damaging towers can harm all enemies that are caught within their area or splash radius in a single attack. Multiple Not to be confused with splash-damaging towers, multi-targeting towers can attack a select number of enemies at a time. This can also come in a form of spread and piercing Types. Spawn Spawning towers send units on the path of a map as a primary way to attack and damage enemies. Support Support towers are not typically set to defend on their own, but have specialized abilities to boost other towers to aid with turning the tide of the game. Economy Economy towers provide the player an opportunity to generate additional cash aside from wave rewards and damaging enemies. Versus Versus towers have offensive abilities that are specialized for Versus mode, but has diminished effects when used on other gamemodes.

Players can only use 5 towers in a loadout at once.
