Levels come from XP, which comes from kills and time survived. Speeding them up means clearing faster and surviving longer.
Why this matters
More levels mean more stat picks, which compounds your power before tough waves.
Step-by-step
- Kill efficiently with AoE so every wave ends fast.
- Survive to the wave timer rather than dying early.
- Take XP or material bonuses when offered.
- Do not waste time kiting when you can clear.
- Use offensive stats to end waves quicker for more XP.
What to prioritize
- AoE clear speed
- Survival to the timer
- XP bonuses
- Efficient routing
- Damage
Common mistakes
- Dying early and losing XP
- Kiting instead of clearing
- Ignoring survival
Levels come from kills and survival time, so clearing fast and staying alive both pay. Area damage ends waves before the timer, which converts directly into extra level picks. Do not chase the last enemy when the wave is already collapsing; bank the time instead.
Survival to wave 20 means more level choices than any early gamble can offer. Take XP and material bonuses when the shop offers them, and keep the defensive base alive so the run reaches the waves that pay.
End waves before the timer and survive to the end. Both feed your level count, and more levels mean more picks before the late game arrives.
