Each completed wave grants 1,000 points, plus up to 600 speed points (600 minus 4 per combat second in that wave). Losing no lives in a wave adds 150 points. Every kill adds 10 points; remaining lives are worth 250 each. Victory adds 10,000.

Strategy costs apply immediately: building −80, upgrading −55, moving −25, selling −50, repairing −15, and a tower being ruined −100 points. Score never falls below zero. Actions cannot be undone to recover points.

Moving costs 15% of the base tower price and is allowed during and between waves. Repairs restore full structure for up to 20% of the base price (minimum 5 gold), with a six-combat-second cooldown. Damaged towers sell for less. Upgrades add 60 structure and stronger attacks.

Combat time uses 1× speed; pauses and building time do not count. The server replays every run. Season V unlocks Dreadlance and Stormspire before wave 5, and Venomwell and Aegis Sanctum before wave 9. The leaderboard includes saved runs from every season.
