Description

Normal Mode, previously known as Easy Mode, is the one of the three main gamemodes. It themes around the Volt Union, a fantastical cult led by the eccentric Voltmaster, the only and final boss. It has a total of 20 waves.

Serving as a beginner's first gamemode, Normal Mode is fairly easy to help new players understand the game. Unlike other gamemodes, Normal Mode does not have any flying enemies. Most late-game enemies have electricity resistance or immunity, representing the Volt Union's theme.

When the Ranked-Up modifier is applied, the final boss is Saber Champion. Normal Mode significantly gets more difficult, especially in late-game with the huge health jump with Bolt X and Volt King, as well as Saber Champion possessing much higher health than Voltmaster.

Beating Normal Mode counts towards progression to unlocking Surveyor.

Strategy

In Standard

• Due to Normal Mode's fairly easy difficulty, beginner towers such as Gunslinger, Sharpshooter or even Slinger is sufficient.
  • Expensive late-game towers such as Lightbeamer and Electricizer is not recommended as it can be difficult to completely upgrade them.
  • Similarly, economy towers like Market and Businessman are not recommended due to the easy difficultly and low wave count.
• In early-game, spamming a couple of 0-2 Slingers or 0-0 Gunslinger is effective.
  • Rushing for 2-3 Sharpshooter is suggested as well, being able to hold most early-game waves on its own.
  • Freezer can help stall enemies, however it does not do any damage.
• 3-X/4-X Crossbower can help deal with crowd control for Demised spawned by Revivers and Crystals.
  • Path 2 Slinger and Demolitionists are good alternatives as well.
• Freezer can help stall threatening enemies such as Bolt, however some enemies are immune to it, and it does not deal much damage.
• Cheap and high-DPS towers such as 4-0 Sharpshooter, 2-4 Gunslinger and Vulcan should be sufficient late-game to defeat Bolts, Lightning Kings and Voltmaster himself.

Dialogues

Character	Wave	Dialogue
Captain	Wave 1, about Invader	"The assault has begun. We're up against Invader-class enemies, so you are most likely fine."
Captain	Wave 2, about Charger	"Upgrade or place some towers to deal with these next quicker enemies."
Captain	Wave 4, about Heavy	"More firepower is necessary - these units are especially strong against our more weaker towers."
Captain	Wave 5, about Devotee	"A combination of the Charger and the Heavy. These Devotees are our next foe."
Captain	Wave 7, about Basilisk	"How is... that moving?", "Whatever it is, it looks strong! Focus fire!"
Captain	Wave 8, about Reviver	"Entity-spawning units are here. Their usage of foreign technology is quite strange..."
Captain	Wave 9, about Eclipser	"These white and black donned units are especially quick. Be prepared for the threat."
Captain	Wave 10, before Gargantuan comes	"Strong enemies inbound next wave. Prepare your towers."
Captain	Wave 11, about Gargantuan	"Tough enemies mean tougher bullets. The Gargantuan is our next enemy."
Captain	Wave 12, about Crystal	"Hey, tell this to any of those Freezer units if you've got any.", "You're useless. Give up. These Crystals are immune to your guns."
Captain	Wave 13, about Lava	"Right. They're also immune to flames."
Captain	Wave 15, about Mage	"Are you aware of the Gargantuans? If I'm correct, there's another enemy that can energize it."
Captain	Wave 16, about Equinox	"This one can spawn in the fast guys. An eclipser carrier, if you will."
Captain	Wave 17, before Bolt comes	"You can ease up a bit. Things aren't as intense right now."
Captain	Wave 18, about Bolt	"This is important. Our biggest threat that can end this whole operation are these quick units, as known as the Bolts." "Electri- -ferenc- -sta- -dby."
Unknown	Wave 19	"You have just commited an act of spiritual treason. What do you have to say?" "Are you of the quiet type? No matter. Your fate has already been decided."
Unknown	Wave 20	"To all humans, I shall punish you for your unruly crimes against the divine!"

Trivia

• The icon for Normal Mode still uses Voltmaster's previous design, when he was called Lord Swordmaster.
  • This is also seen in the icon of the badge and contract for beating Voltmaster.
• Originally, Normal Mode had 30 waves, later reduced to 20 waves to make matches faster.
  • Due to this change, a late-game enemy called Awakened Devotee was removed from the wave structure and can only be seen in Randomizer.
