Arch Park - Retro Tower Defense

Arch Park one-star map guide: Walk In The Park badge, first elevation lessons with Crossroads, Tycoon farm, and why it is not a Forsaken layout.

Last updated: September 2026

The Other One-Star Starter

Arch Park sits with Crossroads and Santa’s Stronghold on the one-star list. Players search it for the Walk In The Park badge (win on any difficulty). It is a classic park/arch layout—open sightlines, gentle bends, low leak risk on Normal with Bloxxer, Sniper, and Tycoon.

Treat it as the second tutorial after Crossroads, not a skip-to-Hard farm. Roofs and arch tops are the first elevation tiles many accounts see. Paintballer and Sniper belong up there; Bloxxer stays on the path choke under the arch.

It is not a Forsaken collab map. Token farming stays on Rift until September 4. Arch Park is for Tix, badge, and placement habits.

Loadout

Tycoon on a safe interior tile. Helper Bot covering both the arch DPS and the ground choke. You do not need Mage to Walk In The Park on Normal. Save revives for Chaos Canyon.

Endless on Arch Park still scales. Do not confuse a one-star lobby icon with infinite-wave safety. Yorick stomps and Telamon rings still appear on the Endless rotation even here.

Desktop Maps dropdown already lists Arch Park in the first seven rows with Crossroads, Happy Home, Doomspire, SFOTH, and Yorick’s Resting Place. Dark Park is the four-star mix-up—open that page, not this one.

Badge And Next Map

Clear any difficulty for Walk In The Park, then move to Happy Home (two-star roofs) or stay on Crossroads if Tycoon income is still the goal. Haunted Mansion’s Bloxxer badge is a different three-star clear.

Watch the how-to-play video below for elevation, then open the map stars guide for the full ladder.
