Forsaken Tokens - Retro Tower Defense
Forsaken Token farm guide for the Retro Tower Defense collab (August 21–September 4, 2026): map order, shop vs badges, conversion to Tix, and what to buy before the window closes.
Last updated: September 2026
What Tokens Are For
Forsaken Tokens are the collab currency earned on the four event maps—Rift, Void, Catacombs, Citadel—from August 21 to September 4, 2026 (about 1:00 PM ET / 17:00 UTC on the last day). Spend them in the event shop. After the window, leftovers convert back to Tix. Badges (Home Turf, Clean Sweep, Home Run) are win conditions, not Token sinks.
Players search “how to get Forsaken Tokens” because the shop holds Forest Mage Dusekkar and other limited rows while badge skins (Jane Doe, Hyperlaser Chance, 4x4x4x4) unlock from clears. You can finish badges with zero Tokens spent. You cannot buy Jane Doe with Tokens.
Daily collab challenges add a Token bump on top of match payouts. Stack them with Tycoon so the same hour pays Tix and Tokens.
Fastest Farm Order
Start on Forsaken Rift Normal until you never leak. It is the cleanest Token-per-minute map. Void and Catacombs next. Citadel last—Hard Citadel is for Home Run, not for economy. A wipe pays nothing.
Loadout: Tycoon safe tile, Helper Bot center, Gunner or Rocket on the long lane, Mage or Noli if you have them. Chance is luxury; you do not need the Void pull to farm Tokens.
Do not sit on Crossroads for Tokens. Classic maps pay Tix only. If a tracker still lists TRAITS+SECRETS or MMMPIZZA as Token boosts, it is stale—those codes expired in August 2026.
Spend Order Before September 4
1) Shop skins you still need (Forest Mage Dusekkar first if it is still in the Token row). 2) Finish Clean Sweep and Home Run on the maps themselves. 3) Let leftover Tokens convert to Tix after close. Do not dump Tokens on cosmetics that will still exist in the Tix shop next month.
The collab showcase video below shows the suite. The Tix guide covers what to do with converted currency after September 4.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do Forsaken Tokens disappear? +
The collab ends September 4, 2026. Unspent Tokens convert to Tix. Shop rows tied to the event leave with the window.
Do I need Chance to farm Tokens? +
No. Tokens come from map clears and dailies. Chance is a Void summon, not a farm requirement.
Best map for Tokens? +
Forsaken Rift Normal until leak-free, then Void/Catacombs. Citadel is for the Home Run badge, not for farming.
Can I buy Hyperlaser Chance with Tokens? +
No. Hyperlaser Chance is the Clean Sweep badge on Hyperlaser Sniper. Tokens buy shop rows such as Forest Mage Dusekkar.
Should I convert Tokens early? +
Spend on limited shop skins first. Conversion is the leftover dump after September 4, not a strategy during the event.
