Complete Guides hub for Retro Tower Defense on Roblox by Plaything Games. Strategy guides, Endless Mode, trading, monthly quests, and more.
Last updated: September 2026
Your Starting Point for Retro TD
The Guides hub collects every in-depth walkthrough for Retro Tower Defense in one place. Whether you are learning tower placement on Crossroads or pushing wave 100 in Endless Mode, each linked page focuses on a single topic with strategies tuned to the current meta.
New players should begin with How to Play, then branch into summoning, boss waves, and Hard Mode once your Tix economy stabilizes. Veterans can jump straight to Endless Mode, trading towers, or monthly quest routes for limited Heroic units.
Several guides cover systems not listed in the eight-item desktop dropdown—How to Redeem Codes, How to Get Noli, Map Star Ratings, How to Get Tix, Forsaken Tokens, How to Get Chance, Forsaken Skins, trading towers, and monthly quests live here and on View all so you can find them without a mile-long menu.
Beginner and Core Progression Guides
How to Play covers the full loop: wave defense, Tix income, tower upgrades, and summon basics. How to Get Mage walks through the most popular Heroic acquisition path for players building their first S-tier DPS core.
How to Beat Hard Mode explains scaling differences, economy pacing, and loadout requirements once Normal runs feel comfortable. Traits and Secrets dives into passive bonuses and ultra-rare units that reshape endgame builds.
How to Summon Heroic breaks down banner rates, pity behavior, and multi-pull budgeting so you do not burn Tix on inefficient single summons.
Endless Mode and Boss Content
Endless Mode is the newest major game mode, added alongside the March 2026 event. Our dedicated Endless Mode guide covers infinite wave scaling, Casual/Normal/Hardcore sub-modes, Endless Tokens, and the rotating boss schedule featuring Yorick and Telamon.
Boss Waves explains when major bosses appear on standard maps, how escort minions interact with burst DPS, and positioning tricks that cut fight duration. Pair it with the Yorick's Resting Place map page if you are farming the Awakening badge.
Hardcore Endless players should cross-reference the Mech tower page for the flamethrower, cannon, and rocket pod kit that dominates long survival runs.
Economy, Trading, and Monthly Quests
Trading Towers is the go-to guide for player-to-player exchanges—how to value Heroic copies, what counts as trade bait, and when trading beats summon RNG. This page is not in the main nav, so bookmark it if you plan to target specific units like Mech or Forest Mage.
Monthly Quests tracks the rotating three-stage quest lines that guarantee limited Heroic towers each month. Like trading, it is linked from this hub rather than the top menu because it updates frequently and pairs with the events section.
Combine monthly quest progress with active promo codes and daily missions for the fastest path to new Heroics without overspending Robux.
How to Use This Hub
Each guide page is localized in English, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Brazilian Portuguese. Follow the internal links from this hub to drill into a topic, then use related pages in the towers, maps, and events sections for deeper context.
We update guides after every major patch from Plaything Games. If a strategy feels outdated, check the events hub for the latest seasonal changes and return here for revised recommendations.
Start with one guide that matches your immediate goal—survive longer in Endless, finish a monthly quest stage, or close your first Heroic trade—then expand outward as your collection grows.
