If you're only just starting out, don't fall for the game speed trap. Later on, when you've unlocked the final tier of passive water monsters, one removes elemental shield(chance), and the other teleports the enemies back to the start. The chance to trigger resets each time you move them into that range, so you can retry say, 10 times or more, vs three or so times, via ab(using) the layout saves(upper right corner). Afaik, switching off the (x2 speed) under "options" WILL NOT revert you back to the absolute minimum speed.

@jojjannes Skipping waves(boss rush) will mess up the count. You need to go through every single wave for it to count.

A small thing that id like to get addressed. One of the enemies (resource haulers i think?) dont end the game if they make it to the portal , which makes sense if they're just a bonus.
However in Challenge Map they still take a life

@FreddyKnuckles It seems that you need to beat 1000 individual waves, rather than *reaching* wave 1000. So if you're using boss rush mode you've not done 1000 waves with no leaks. I think the badge should be clearer. Or the mechanism should be changed so that it actually is awarded on reaching level 1000.

Why are there so many idle games, especially for BOTD? I came back to K after years away and we went from Bloons to cheap time sucks.

My greatest complaint is there's no pause button and things don't automatically halt when you bring u a menu. Like how am I supposed to read the FAQ's or sort through achievements while trying to keep up with the waves

Liked the style of the game and played it for months already. Had much fun first but reduced the rating recently. Reasons for that are: Lategame the costs scale so hard the grind starts to become unbearable. You grind and unlock so much just to get a challenge map which literally deactivates nearly everything you grinded for. Why? Just have this mode available early. Filled with microtransactions. Would still have been fine so far but: it happened several times already that the save button did not save correctly. You can't save anytime and sometimes progress is just lost. This just takes the fun out of this game on the long run.

Weird glitch whereby challenge mode nerfs the monster damage as appropriate, but impossible to level because the levelling costs are as per the normal game.

@Draconavin: You need to check your Consecutive Waves stat on your Stat Page. You can also play a little dirty by reloading the page right after leaking, before it saves. If you're at a higher wave, save available, but you're about to leak due to a shield, save and refresh. It will reroll the shields for that wave, and hopefully be more favourable. Only do this for rhe badge. As you get higher, the "default" is for enemies to come with multiple shields, necessitating the purchase of the "reduced chance of elemental shield" upgrades from multiple sources, in order to ensure the lowest chance of shield(and Water Exotic Squiddler to further neutralise)

My progress on the impossible badge is stuck on Currently:473
Even though I have reached wave 1000 twice without leaking any enemies.
I tried to save when I was over 1000 without leaking any enemies, and still no badge triggered. When I lost at above 1000 wave nothing triggered the badge. I prestiged the first time at over 1000 wave, and nothing. I refreshed the page; still nothing. Any tips or help?

It would be great if there were a way to see which of your towers can be upgraded, rather than having to click on all of them.

For those who are working on 1000 no death waves for the impossible badge, just follow the tech ship strategy in the comments, but know that you don't need to max all tech ship upgrades to get the it. I kept pushing waves without prestiging up till 1300+ (so i can get as many tech as possible), but it was overkill. Once you max most of the bottom upgrades, choose 2 elements and level the respective damage only (instead of leveling All Damage). You should already have your exotics by now and tier 4 research using the tech ship strategy. Just put half one element, half the other element, then leave one space for a third element in case of enemy with double resistance that matches both your chosen elements. This way you can afk and not be afraid of leaking enemies with double resistance. If you still have troubles, save up a daily reward or 2.

Tip: Don't spend your gems before doing this! Save 500 gems and buy the permanent 2× game speed upgrade from the premium shop.

Something to take note: The gold portion of your daily bonus is actually reduced until you put down towers. Went from 20m to 30m just by loading my towers vs an empty map. Might just be after prestiging, but still worth taking notice of.

@jooe15 Indeed. I've been trying to do that. I just need to get these monsters a few more dupes and it should be done by this weekend.

@AtomicKitKat Use two daily rewards in one run and you should be able to blow well past 1K. Either by collecting at the end of one day and the beginning of the next, or just log out after collecting one day. Just make sure to carry EMP and Rain of Fire in case of units with dual resistance.

@KeeperBvK spent a few days trying to max out all daily missions to accumulate diamonds. Also, do the tournament that shows up every 3 days. All the little upgrades work with one another. Try to focus on only 2 towers and all other towers are just for support. When you unlock the exotics, they really help.

Taken about 3 weeks so far, and I'm at Wave 920+ continuous. All in all, not that impossible of an impossible badge, but still quite a grind, if you're not using a guide. Definitely reroll Artifacts when you unlock Tier 4,because you're 99% guaranteed to max out all the easily maxable ones, and that's a pretty huge boost in power(also, some of your lower damage boosts will probably get traded on for higher tier versions, which is another power boost).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I have no complaints besides the Tech Ship HP not resetting. Given how critical it is and how much boosts it gives, if you don't follow the exact path down the tech tree and wasted your first tech upgrades, there is NO turning back. You lose a large amount of tech upgrades PERMANENTLY because the HP just keeps growing exponentially. So you are stuck with being worse off till the end of the game, which may be months or years.

The best thing to use against the carriers seems to be the Death Awaits spell(they count as bosses). Try to max it out as much as you can by the time you get the Carriers to the high teens(scientific notation). It will still take like 4 castings to take one down. The other thing to do is save up for a week to buy the 1000 diamond resource pack, so that you can use the Tech tree(for path) to make each Tech carrier more profitable.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Would be nice if both the carriers' HP were reset each day, rather than having us have to spend 50 gems just to lower it. Alternatively, have the 50 gems hp lowering be a daily thing, rather than something that you HAVE to do just to overtake it. Maybe have the carrier start at 5B each day, but every time you beat it, it goes up by 1000, so 5B, 5T, 5Qd, 5Qt, etc. So you can spend the 50 gems(and get back 10 for beating it), or you can try to summon it a few times until you wear down that 5B, rather than a sunk cost that never actually seems to pays off(because the current rate of health increase far oustrips the 75% hp reduction).

Nvm. Seems you can lower it by prestiging at the previous halfway mark, and it will lower each time(lowest is 50). It should probably still be capped though, otherwise if you're at Wave 10000 or whatever, you'll have to get all the way back up to 5000 before you can prestige again.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I feel like there should be a lower cap to prestige, especially if there's a daily task tied to it. Having it keep going up to half of your current wave makes it really hard to hit the 10 prestiges a day cap unless you have all the speed up bonuses bought.

@fruitberry: I guess you used the boss rush feature that skips 80% of levels? Those then don't count towards the badge. It's stupid, but that's how the game operates
