Easy, Medium, and Hard each have their own skin or hero. Skulls and the level gate are on the map card, and two indexes disagree on a few gates.

What a clear pays

A standard map runs 25 waves on Easy, 35 on Medium, and 40 on Hard. Beating the boss pays coins and EXP. Many maps also pay a difficulty skin, sometimes a hero, and a modifier with a printed drop rate.

Quiet Quarry, recorded as added 13 June 2026, is the clean example. It is a crystal cave with an elliptical path that splits and rejoins. The wiki map index labels it level 30+ and 4 skulls.

Difficulty Named reward Listed coins Listed EXP
Easy Explorer skin for Scientist 19 12.3
Medium Amber skin for Discount Dog 31 to 36 22.1 to 25.5
Hard Army Ants skin for Nuki Launcher 46 to 60 33.3 to 42.5

Defeating the Minecart Mimic is listed for the Miner Kid skin on Kart Kid. The Quiet Quarry modifier is 5% Easy, 10% Medium, and 20% Hard.

Knoddy's Resort, from the Robot 64 crossover, pays Beebo on Easy, a Knoddy's Resort skin for Beebo on Easy as well, Candy Aquarium on Medium, and Cyan Neon on Hard. It has more than one round theme, and night never falls on Easy. On other difficulties the sun sets at wave 28, or wave 33 on Hard.

Level gates that disagree

Use the in-game elevator when these two public indexes do not match:

Map Wiki map index September 2026 database table
Volcano Valley Level 15+, 3 skulls Level 5+, 3 skulls
Desolate Desert Level 5+, 2 skulls Level 10+, 2 skulls

Skulls match. The level does not. Other cards in the wiki index agree with themselves: Facility Frenzy is level 10+ and 2 skulls, Radiant Reef is level 10+ and 4 skulls, Destiny's Dawn and Quiet Quarry are level 30+ and 4 skulls, Sunken Sanctum is level 30+ and 5 skulls.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the tutorial?

Tutoro runs the tutorial quest, added during Easter 2021. Open it from the badges category, the help screen, or the prompt when you join. You place Wizard, see the range bubble, and upgrade him. Clearing it awards the Tutorial Done badge, 50 coins, and the Tutoro sticker.

How long is a standard match?

On a standard map, Easy ends on wave 25, Medium on wave 35, and Hard on wave 40. The final wave is the boss wave.

What is the difference between mana and coins?

Mana is spent inside a match to place and upgrade heroes. Coins are the lobby shop currency used to buy heroes. Codes that pay coins do not fill your mana bar.
