Hello Tower Defenders! We have a minor update coming later on this week, and plan to be fully rolled out before this weekend's tournament. This update includes tournament adjustments, some quality of life improvements, a new lab, some anti-cheat system improvements, and bugfixes. Let's dive into the changes!


Tournament Adjustments

We have a number of tournament changes in this update in response to feedback from v29's tournament update. These changes will be live for the weekend tournament. Remember, these changes are isolated for tournaments only, and should not affect your non-tournament runs:


  • Demon Mode, Second Wind, and Viking Funeral now have a maximum amount of waves after activation. The limit is determined by a time limit or a number of waves of activation, whichever comes first.

  • Viking Mastery is buffed to activate on all death saves (Demon Mode, Nuke, Death Defy, and Second Wind)

  • Energy Shield and Wall must both take at least two waves to charge. If you are still within two waves of charging, the value will stay at 99%

  • The Wave Speed Up mechanic for Gold and up will only end if you've used up all of your shields (Smart Demon Mode, Smart Nuke, Energy Shield, Second Wind)

Security, Save Data, and Leaderboard Improvements

In this release, we put in some work under-the-hood to improve save data integrity and anti-cheat systems. These changes won't be visible to most players, but it will help reduce cheater activity and make it easier to keep the leaderboards clean. We also did a big ban wave recently. :hammer: Big thank you to everyone who has reported cheaters and suspicious accounts!
