Confusion with official TDS

Reforged is unofficial and unaffiliated with Paradoxum. Balance, towers, and modes differ. Read TDS Reforged vs Official TDS and the Links Hub before pasting Paradoxum codes or tier lists here.

Pain points we target

Early bankruptcy — kip the group bonus and you start every match behind. Fix that with the group guide, Economy & Cash, and Active Codes.

Custom mode overwhelm — he editor lets you choose waves, enemies, bosses, rules, and difficulty. The custom gamemode guide shows a safe authoring loop.

Mode spikes — ardcore, Enraged, Death Invasion, Casino, and Polluted Core punish greedy upgrades. Use the Wave Checklist before queueing.

Study path for veterans

Clear standard maps, then Hardcore, then Enraged or Death Invasion, then Polluted Core. Between attempts, refine loadouts in the Loadout Planner and compare Hardcore tiers against Golden tower rankings.

Updates and scripts

Pair guides with Live Status (21 Aug 2026 / 856K+ visits / PVP Update title), Patch Notes, and Modes Overview. Automation users should read Scripts Hub and Safety first.

Every guide aims for practical depth: what to place, when to sell, and which mistakes end runs. After a patch, change one loadout slot at a time and re-test with the Wave Checklist.
