WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Promenade Survival, after clearing the Promenade campaign on the difficulty you plan to use.

Survival continues a map beyond its campaign and offers later-wave, map-specific rewards. Promenade is a useful progression stop when your defenses can handle its lanes. Unlock it separately on each difficulty by clearing the campaign there, then use the run to test gear and build strength before moving on.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Clear the Promenade campaign at your chosen difficulty.
  • Have a defense layout that covers the map’s approaches to the crystal.
  • Bring a hero able to repair defenses and collect drops between waves.
  1. Open Promenade’s map menu and choose Survival at the difficulty you cleared.
  2. Set up defenses to cover the lanes before starting combat.
  3. Watch the first waves for weak approaches and reinforce them during build phases.
  4. Repair and upgrade defenses between waves, prioritizing lanes under the most pressure.
  5. Collect drops and compare them with your current equipment and build needs.
  6. Advance to later waves while the defenses remain reliable; leave if the run becomes unstable.
  7. Review collected gear before deciding whether to repeat Promenade or try another map.

Farming tips

  • Choose difficulty by how well you can hold the map, not by the highest option in the menu.
  • Later waves can provide map-specific rewards; decide what you are targeting before committing to a long run.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat as often as useful for gear and map rewards. Individual drops are not guaranteed, and Survival remains available after its campaign unlock.

Common mistakes

  • Trying a difficulty before clearing that map’s campaign on it; clear the campaign first.
  • Using a layout from another map without checking lane coverage; adjust defenses to Promenade’s approaches.
  • Continuing after repeated leaks; end the run and improve defenses or gear before another attempt.

When to stop or switch

Move to another progression map or difficulty when Promenade no longer produces useful upgrades and your defenses can reliably handle its waves.
