WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Victory Chest after completing a map in Massacre Pure Strategy.

Massacre Pure Strategy completion chests include tower pets. This makes a completed map the target of this farm: choose a map whose lanes your defenses can hold, finish its Pure Strategy run, then inspect the Victory Chest and compare the pet with your current tower setup. The reward is tied to completing the activity; the available facts do not guarantee a particular pet or stat roll, so plan to evaluate what the chest gives you.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Unlock Massacre difficulty and Pure Strategy for the map you plan to run.
Prepare defenses that can hold the map’s lanes through its victory wave.
Leave inventory space to collect and compare a tower pet.

Select a map and set its mode to Pure Strategy at Massacre difficulty.
Review the map’s lanes and build defenses that cover the routes to the crystal.
Begin the run and monitor defenses as waves progress.
Repair or adjust defenses between waves when needed to maintain coverage.
Continue through the victory wave and complete the map.
Open the Victory Chest and inspect the tower pet’s attributes.
Collect useful pets and compare them with the needs of your tower builds.

Farming tips

Choose a map you can complete consistently; the pet reward is at completion, so reaching the victory wave matters.
Judge a pet by the attributes your tower build needs instead of assuming every chest result is an upgrade.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the Massacre Pure Strategy completion for more tower-pet drops. A specific pet or stat combination is not guaranteed.

Common mistakes

Launching the map in Survival or another mode; select Pure Strategy before starting.
Choosing Massacre before your defenses can sustain the map; use a map and setup you can complete.
Leaving without checking the Victory Chest; inspect and collect the tower-pet result after the victory wave.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have a tower pet that serves the intended build, or change to a map your defenses can complete more reliably.
