Choose Pure Strategy for Massacre completion rewards

Run Massacre Pure Strategy when you specifically want its documented completion-chest tower pets and tower weapons.

PC / Global, live PC build and 2026 updates
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Any unlocked map’s Massacre Pure Strategy completion chest.

Massacre Pure Strategy completion has a documented reward use: its victory chest drops tower pets, and Pure Strategy map completion chests also drop tower weapons. This supports farming those reward categories, but does not establish that Pure Strategy has a generally better loot modifier than Survival. Choose a map you can complete and inspect the chest after winning.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Unlock Pure Strategy and Massacre for the selected map.
  • Have a defense setup that can clear the map without relying on hero attacks to defeat enemies.
  • Leave space to collect and compare tower pets and weapons.
  1. Choose a map in Pure Strategy at Massacre difficulty.
  2. Use the setup phase to position defenses for the map’s lanes.
  3. Start the run and let defenses handle the combat while you repair and upgrade.
  4. Protect the crystal through the activity’s required waves.
  5. Complete the map and open the Victory Chest.
  6. Inspect the tower pet and tower weapon drops and collect useful pieces.
  7. Repeat on a map or difficulty you can reliably finish if you need more results.

Farming tips

  • Use this route for its documented completion rewards, not an assumed bonus to all loot.
  • Compare tower-item stats against the needs of your builders before replacing equipped gear.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable on completed maps. The chest categories are documented, but any particular pet, weapon, or stat roll is not guaranteed.

Common mistakes

  • Calling this a generally improved loot modifier; the supported advantage is the stated completion-chest rewards.
  • Using a map you cannot finish; choose a reliable clear so you reach the reward chest.
  • Leaving without checking the chest; inspect and collect its tower items after victory.

When to stop or switch

Stop when your tower pet or weapon needs are met, or switch to a map where your defenses can complete Massacre more reliably.
