How a match works
Step
Every match divides players into two teams. Both teams face incoming waves of enemies at the same time, and each team places towers to hold those waves back. The team whose defenses last longer is the winner.
- Up to 50 players fill a room, split across both sides.
- Place your towers in your team's area.
- Enemies push through and your towers need to stop them.
- Whichever side's defenses collapse first loses.
