Build Defense Beginner’s Guide

Below are some crucial tips we wish we'd known starting out. Implementing these will significantly improve your gameplay and enjoyment.

Survival is the Name of the Game

Your initial instinct might be to protect your plot of land. Think again! The true objective is to survive. The game throws relentless dangers your way, and survival, not base integrity, is the win condition. While building a strong defense at your plot is ideal, running around until the danger passes is also a viable strategy. Each successful survival earns you a "Win" and in-game currency. Wins are your key to progression. Keep an eye on on-screen messages and do your best to stay alive!

Dying is Part of the Fun

Don't stress about dying; it's inevitable and the consequences are minimal. Respawning is immediate, you'll lose your current items, and fail the current wave, but this isn't devastating. You can repurchase your weapons and items, your structures remain intact, and a new wave arrives every two minutes. Essentially, you only lose a few minutes of playtime.

Build High, Not Wide

A perimeter wall might seem like a good defense, but it's often ineffective. Enemies will exploit entry points. A superior strategy is to build a tall staircase leading to a high platform. During attacks, retreat to the top. The steep stairs hinder attackers, and you can easily defend the top with turrets.

Explore Beyond Your Base

The island offers much more than your plot. Visit neighbors, sell ores, and complete quests. Many quests require a certain number of Wins to unlock, but some, like the Gingerbread House quest, are available immediately. Quests reward you with new building components.

The Shop Offers More Than Premium Items

Regularly check the Shop; many items are purchasable with in-game currency earned through Wins. Remember to join the Swiftplay Roblox group and like, favorite, and follow the game for a free gift!

Progress to New Areas

After accumulating 190 Wins, you can advance to a new area with fresh challenges, quests, and building opportunities.
