[RELEASE] Candy Kingdom Defense
01
Core ideas before your first wave
Summary
In short
Every run in Candy Kingdom Defense comes down to three things: placing heroes, surviving waves, and evolving your squad.
Before you touch a stage, it helps to know what the game is actually asking you to do. You pull heroes out of the Treasure Hoard, put them on the map, and then hold off enemies that arrive in groups called waves. Clear every wave and you clear the stage.
- Hero a character you summon and place on the map to fight for you
- Wave one group of enemies that attacks together; finishing all waves ends the stage
- Evolution when a hero reaches a certain level, you can transform them into a stronger form
- Mythic trait a bonus ability attached to a hero that you can reroll if it does not suit your strategy
- Team Level an overall level for your whole squad; raising it boosts every hero you place

02
Leveling up and evolving your heroes
TipsIn short
Defeating enemies raises hero levels automatically, and hitting the right level unlocks an evolution that sharply increases attack power and range.
Heroes level up on their own as you play through stages and defeat enemies. When a hero hits the level required for evolution, the option appears on screen. You can evolve the same hero more than once, pushing them closer to their final form each time. Adventure Boy can become Adventure Man, and Stretchy Dog can become Cosmic Dog, for example.
Tips worth knowing
- Hero levels rise automatically as you fight
- When an evolution is ready, a prompt appears; tap it to transform the hero
- Each evolution noticeably increases the hero's attack strength and the area they can cover
- The same hero can evolve multiple times, so keep pushing their level even after the first evolution
- Team Level rises alongside your progress and raises the base stats of every hero on your squad

Rerolling Mythic traits
Tips
In short
Because Mythic traits are assigned randomly, rerolling until you land something that fits your strategy is worth the effort.
Every hero gets a Mythic trait automatically, but the trait you receive is random. A trait that does not match how you are playing can hold you back, while a good one can make the same hero noticeably more effective.
Tips worth knowing
- You can reroll as many times as you like until a useful trait appears
- Two players using the same hero can perform very differently depending on their traits
05
Choosing a mode
Table
In short
Pick Campaign to make story progress, Infinite Mode to push your squad's limits, PvP Battles to test yourself against other players, or the weekly tournament for a fresh weekly challenge.
The game offers four distinct ways to play.
| Campaign | 35 stages across 7 worlds |
| Infinite Mode | waves never stop, so this is where you find out how long your squad can actually last |
| PvP Battles | your squad goes directly against another player's squad |
| Weekly Tournament | a fresh set of rules each week with its own leaderboard to climb |
