Coins are essential currency that is being used to order Lab research, buy Workshop upgrades and upgrade Modules. It can be earned during the runs for taking out enemies.

Getting Coins[edit | edit source]

There are 4 ways of getting coins:

  1. Killing Enemies (Besides Basic Enemies by default)
  2. Coins / Wave Upgrade
  3. Completing Daily and Weekly Missions
  4. Getting Milestones rewards

In the early game main source of coins are missions, while later on it will shift to farming runs focused on coins gain.

Improving Coin Flow[edit | edit source]

The amount of coins you can get in your game depends on how far you can get in your run and what upgrades you have. These are multiple ways to to improve your coin flow. It's important to notice that most of the time Coins bonuses multiply, that can result in impressive gains.

Here is what you can do to improve coin gains:

  • Playing on a higher Tier (will give coin multiplier per Tier. Higher Tiers add less to the multiplier)
  • Workshop.pngWorkshop upgrades and Labs:
    • Upgrading Coins / Kill
    • Upgrading Coins/Wave
  • Using and upgrading following Cards.pngCards:
  • Using and upgrading following Ultimate Weapons.pngUltimate Weapons:
