Easy Mode Guide

Easy mode is the onboarding gauntlet for Survive The Night TD. You defend one door across 15 waves, climaxing with the Golden King. Clear it to earn the Easy Peasy! badge and unlock Hard mode. This walkthrough assumes you finished Getting Started and understand Door Defense.

Match rules at a glance

  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Doors: 1
  • Waves: 15
  • Final boss: Golden King
  • Reward badge: Easy Peasy! then Hard unlock
  • Fail condition: door HP = 0
  • Currency: spend Coins in-match; save Gems for lobby pets

Servers can hold up to 50 players, but your house claim and tower AI still decide your door’s fate.

Pre-match prep

  1. Redeem codes via RDM (Codes, How to Redeem).
  2. Equip a four-slot loadout with income + Crossbow + heal + AoE.
  3. Join Duni&Minion / like experience for starting cash bonus if available.
  4. Skim towers tier list so you know upgrade priority.

Suggested Easy loadout: Money Printer or Farm, Crossbow, Medical Base, Mortar/Cannon. Flex Tesla in when Coins snowball.

Waves 1-5: foundation

Claim the house quickly. Place Crossbow on the approach. Drop income immediately - every delayed Farm costs a future door level. Buy the first door upgrades before over-leveling Crossbow to diamond. If Medical Base is unlocked, place it before wave 5 ends.

Waves 6-10: stabilize

Monster density rises. Add AoE (Mortar, Flamethrower, Cannon). Keep repairing chip damage instead of ego-challenging the door. Color-tier blue/pink on income and heal first. Mining Cave can substitute if Farm slots feel contested.

Waves 11-14: pre-boss bank

Stop experimental spends. Bank Coins for door HP, Medical Base tiers, and a Tesla or second AoE. Watch lane leaks - a single ignored path wrecks late Easy more often than the boss itself.

Wave 15: Golden King

Enter with door HP healthy. Pre-cast repairs if a threshold is low. Focus fire and AoE where adds escort the King. Do not sell Medical Base for panic DPS. Surviving Golden King awards Easy Peasy! and is your ticket to two-door Hard, Nightmare/Impossible later, and more serious clan grinding.

Boss notes: Bosses.

Code Coins (COINRAIN, 5MILCOINS, FREECOINS) compress this curve - redeem before queueing.

After Easy Peasy!

  • Lobby-upgrade kept Coins (Tower Upgrades).
  • Hatch pets with banked Gems (Pet Hatching).
  • Read Hard guide before jumping in blind.
  • Check Updates if Evolutions quests (EVOLUTION) interact with your next goals.

Mistakes that fail Easy

  • Zero income until wave 8.
  • No repairs while almost killing a tank.
  • Ignoring tutorial and missing RDM wealth.
  • Empty heal slot on wave 15.
  • Confusing this TD with the old slasher and wondering where the door went.

Practice drills before Hard

Run Easy twice with the same loadout and compare door HP at wave 10. If the second run is healthier, your repair timing improved. If not, re-read placement notes on Door Defense and confirm Farm or Money Printer was online before mid-game.

Use Easy as a laboratory for color-tier discipline from Tower Upgrades. Intentionally leave Crossbow at blue while pinking income and Medical Base - then watch how much spare Coin you have for Golden King repairs. That habit transfers directly to Thorn Warden and Cursed Priest on Hard.

After Easy Peasy!, redeem any leftover codes, hatch only if you sit on ~50 Gems, and open Hard with Printer + Medical Base already in the four-slot plan. Crazy Mode can wait until two-door coverage feels boring.

Easy mode teaches the Survive The Night TD language: house, towers, door. Master it once with intention, and every harder mode becomes an extension - not a wall.
