Enemy Wave Timing

Enemies arrive in waves lasting between 20 and 90 seconds. Surviving each wave and eliminating as many foes as possible is the core loop of each 30‑minute run.

Wave length varies, requiring you to adapt tactics on the fly and manage resources such as gear and health throughout the encounter.

  • Watch wave timers to plan attacks.
  • Conserve gear for longer waves.

Boss battles punctuate the wave progression, demanding you exploit enemy weaknesses to secure victory. These fights test the synergy of your tank squad and weapon choices.

Success against bosses often yields valuable rewards that feed back into the game's progression system.

Robust meta progression encourages repeated runs, letting you refine your squad and equipment over time.

  • Prioritize upgrades that complement your playstyle.
  • Balance backpack space between offensive and defensive gear.
