Horde & Endgame

Wave management, economy planning, and safety plays for new squads.

Wave rhythm

flowchart TD Prep[Prep & Build] --> Hold[Hold the Line] Hold --> Clear[Clear Stragglers] Clear --> Econ[Economy Check] Econ --> Scout[Scout & Rotate] Scout --> Prep

Place choke defenses first (barbed wire/voltage), then coverage (turrets/auto-turrets).
Assign lanes: left, right, mid, and a floater for specials.

Economy plan (beginner)

Wave 1–3: Buy cheap slows and ammo boxes; conserve throwables.
Wave 4–6: Add turrets and upgrade primaries; stabilize meds.
Wave 7+: Save for emergencies; rotate positions to restock.

Safe team comps

Safety Net

Medic + Fixer + Exterminator + Gunslinger

Healing, ammo, CC, and steady DPS.

Frontline Lock

Vanguard + Slasher + Fixer + Gunslinger

Stable wall with ammo and a ranged finisher.

Utility Control

Dronemaster + Exterminator + Medic + Gunslinger

Stuns, fire lanes, and sustain.

Common wipe causes & fixes

Split aggro: Stay together; ping and regroup immediately.
No lane ownership: Assign lanes and rotate only on callouts.
Overbuying early: Save coins for mid waves; place only what’s needed.
Silent specials: Raise voice chat volume or use a concise callout system.
