Build Defense Beginner's Guide

Below are essential tips we wish we had known from the start. Implementing these strategies made our gameplay more enjoyable and accelerated our progress.

The object of the game is to survive…

When you first enter your world and your designated plot of land, you might think the goal is to protect it. However, the true objective is survival—avoiding death at all costs. The game will challenge you with various threats, and your task is to endure them. While building a defensive structure on your plot is ideal, you can also evade danger by roaming the world until it subsides. Each survival earns you a "Win" and in-game currency, which drives your progress. Keep an eye on screen messages and focus on staying alive.

… dying is completely normal

Don't fret if you die; it's a common occurrence in *Build Defense*. Death has minimal consequences: you'll respawn immediately, lose your items, and fail the current enemy wave, but that's about it. You can repurchase your weapons and items, and your structures remain intact. Another attack wave arrives every two minutes, offering you another chance. Essentially, all you lose is a bit of time.

Build high, not low

Initially, constructing a wall around your plot might seem like a solid defense strategy, but it often proves ineffective due to the need for entry and exit points, which enemies exploit. A better approach is to build a set of stairs leading high into the sky and create a platform at the top. When night falls, you can climb up and wait out the danger. Monsters attempting to ascend will likely fall, and those reaching the top can be met with a welcoming committee of turrets. This strategy is highly effective and can help you survive most nights.

Don’t just build, explore!

Beyond your plot, the island offers a wealth of activities. You can visit other players, trade ores, and embark on quests. Some quests, like the Gingerbread's House quest, are available immediately, while others require accumulating a certain number of Wins. Completing these quests can unlock new building components, enhancing your construction options.

The “Shop” isn’t just for premium items

As you advance in the game, don't overlook the Shop. Most items there can be purchased with in-game currency earned from Wins. Make sure to play the game for a while before exploring the Shop. Additionally, joining the Swiftplay Roblox group and liking, favoriting, and following the game will earn you a free gift.

When you’re ready, move to the next area
