Forsaken Void - Retro Tower Defense
Complete Forsaken Void map guide for Retro Tower Defense. Difficulty rating, path layout, enemy types, recommended loadouts, and Forsaken Token farming during the August 2026 collab.
Last updated: September 2026
Map Overview
Forsaken Void is the second map from the August 2026 Forsaken Collab, set inside a corrupted dimensional rift where gravity shifts and platforms phase in and out. This four-star expert map challenges even veteran players with its disorienting path and fast enemy spawns.
The defining feature of Forsaken Void is its alternating gravity mechanic: certain platforms flip orientation every third wave, forcing you to reposition elevated towers or lose their range advantage. Tower placement must account for these phase shifts.
Forsaken Void rewards Forsaken Tokens alongside regular Tix income. This is the most difficult of the four Forsaken maps, recommended for players comfortable with Chaos Canyon difficulty.
Path Layout and Gravity Phases
The main path splits into two parallel corridors that merge before the final arena. The corridors alternate which one has elevated platforms available during each phase shift, so avoid committing your only elevated coverage to a single corridor.
The final arena features a central rotating platform that provides brief bursts of elevated placement during the boss fight. Time your Yorick activation to coincide with the platform being upright for maximum boss DPS.
There are two elevation tiers throughout—ground level and mid-level platforms. Mid-level platforms phase out completely during certain waves, leaving ground-level-only defense for short windows.
Recommended Loadout
Primary DPS: Place Mage or Noli on the merge point just before the final arena to maximize AoE coverage on clustered enemies. Yorick works but requires more attention due to the platform phasing disrupting soul-stack consistency.
Support: Helper Bot should remain on stable ground-level positioning near the merge point so the buff is never interrupted by phase shifts.
Lane DPS: Gunner on a stable mid-level platform provides the most reliable sustained coverage, but have a ground-level fallback position planned for phase-shift waves.
Boss Wave Mechanics
The boss wave coincides with a full platform phase-out, meaning you fight the boss at ground level with no elevation bonus. Switch to pure ground-level loadout for the final wave.
Yorick should be pre-stacked with as many soul stacks as possible before the final wave begins. The boss fight is short due to the open ground-level arena layout.
AoE towers like Mage are more valuable than single-target burst against the boss add swarm that accompanies the main boss enemy.
Token Farming Strategy
Forsaken Void yields the highest Forsaken Token payout per run of the four maps due to its difficulty. Prioritize this map if you are farming tokens efficiently.
Two daily runs are recommended—three runs may exhaust you on a map this demanding and lead to mistakes that cost tokens.
Watch community Discord posts for recommended loadout adjustments after phase-shift patterns are fully mapped by the player base.

Mage or Noli at the merge point, Gunner on stable platforms with a fallback ground position, and Helper Bot on stable ground near the merge.
Is Forsaken Void worth farming for tokens? +
Yes—it has the highest token payout per run of the four Forsaken maps. Two daily runs maximize token income without burnout.
