What is Golden Mode in Tower Defense Simulator?
Golden Mode is a special challenge in TDS that lets you use Golden Skinned Towers. These towers are stronger, faster, and have bonus effects. It’s like playing in hard mode — but with powerful upgrades.
✨ What Makes It “Golden”?
Only players with unlocked Golden Crates or Golden Passes can access this mode. It’s for flexing your upgraded towers — but also beating tough waves.
Golden Mode Wave Table (1–40)
The table above shows every wave in Golden Mode. You’ll face faster, upgraded enemies and get 💵 more cash per wave — if you survive. Use it to:
- 📌 Track enemy types
- 🔍 See wave difficulty
- 💡 Read tactics per round
This mode is meant for players who already beat Normal and Molten.
💡 Don’t Play Like It’s Normal Mode
Golden Mode is faster and harder. Use your early wave cash smart — place and upgrade Golden Towers as soon as possible.
Why Play Golden Mode?
It’s a challenge, but with style. Here’s why players love Golden Mode:
| 🌟 Feature | What It Does | Why It Rocks |
|---|---|---|
| 💛 Golden Towers | Extra damage, faster rate | Huge power boost |
| ⚡ Faster Waves | Shorter time per round | Requires quick thinking |
| 💰 More Wave Cash | Higher payouts than Normal | Faster upgrades |
| 🏆 Prestige Mode | Only available to advanced players | Great for bragging rights |
Top Towers for Golden Mode (Waves 1–10)
Here are strong early picks — especially if they have the golden skin unlocked:
| 💠 Tower | Cost ($) | Bonus with Golden Skin |
|---|---|---|
| 🔫 Golden Scout | $250 | More damage + range |
| 💣 Golden Crook Boss | $1,200 | Summons stronger minions |
| 🎯 Golden Minigunner | $2,000 | Faster fire rate + better DPS |
| 🎙️ Commander | $850 | Buffs your whole golden army |
✅ Built to Win
With a Golden loadout and the wave table above, you have all you need to dominate this mode.
Mid & Late Game Strategy for Golden Mode
Golden Mode escalates fast. You’ll face stronger waves starting around Wave 15, and bosses get tough after Wave 30. It’s important to scale your damage output early using your Golden Towers’ bonuses.
| 🕓 Wave Range | Main Threats | What to Focus On |
|---|---|---|
| Waves 11–20 | Faster enemy combos | Upgrade Golden Scouts and add Crook Boss |
| Waves 21–30 | Tanky units & mini-bosses | Place Minigunners + buff with Commanders |
| Waves 31–39 | Mass spawn waves | Use area damage + sell weak towers to boost stronger ones |
| Wave 40 | Golden Boss | All towers focus! Activate Commander Chains |
Scenarios: Common Golden Mode Situations
Here are a few things that often happen when playing Golden Mode — and what to do when they do:
Your Golden Scout gets overwhelmed
Golden Scout is amazing early, but weak mid-game. Add Crook Boss or Minigunner for support.
You placed towers too close together
Spread your towers to cover more of the map. Golden Crook Boss shines when placed near turns.
You run out of upgrade money
Use the wave table to plan your spending. Don’t over-upgrade in early waves!
👑 Conclusion: Golden Mode is About Control
Yes, you have stronger towers — but that also means tougher enemies. The wave table gives you the control you need to win. Place, upgrade, buff, repeat!
