Timeout

== Summary ==
Timeout is a Battle Mod unlocked in Lava World. Every player has a timer and starts with 30 seconds (originally 40 seconds). The timer decreases by 1 every second, and when it hits 0, the player gets busted, no matter their Squad, Gems, or Coins. A "Timed-Out" player drops all of their Gems and Coins, as if they were busted by a real player. The timer cannot go beyond 30 seconds (originally 60 seconds). To increase the amount of seconds, players must collect clocks which increase the timer.
Every player starts with 200 Gems instead of 0 at the start of the game, unlike other battle mods. But literally everyone still starts with the same amount of gems, you can ignore this gem boost. This may be due to a bug, but the 200 Gem-start doesn't count towards Challenges needing you to have a certain amount of Gems at the end of the game.
Originally, the clock used to tick faster by 2x after Final Strech and the clock value will remain the same for the whole match.
===Types of Clocks===
Clocks can be earned by busting Monsters or finding them randomly across the map. Three types of clocks exist, each rewarding a different amount of seconds and having a different rarity. However, as match progresses, all clocks lose value which increases clock demand. 
Clock Type 	How to find 	Seconds (Normal)	Seconds (2 min mark)	Seconds (Final Strech)
Common (Blue)	Busting Small or Medium Monsters 	3 seconds 	2 seconds 	1 second
Rare (Yellow)	Busting Boss Monsters 	10 seconds 	7 seconds 	5 seconds
Epic (Purple)	Busting Super Boss MonstersSpawn in the center of the map near game-end	20 seconds 	15 seconds 	10 seconds
==Useful Characters==
*Picking and building a DPS-based Squad to bust Monsters and earn Clocks can be a viable strategy to survive the longest and get as many Gems.
*Picking to wander around and pick up Clocks can be a viable strategy to survive the longest.
==Tips==
* were used to be useless, but now cutting down Trees or harvesting Carrots gives clocks but may not be as enough as busting monsters. If you run high on time (around 20~29 seconds), this might be a strategy to pump up gems, since this mod replaces some of the gems with clocks. And the Trader or the Bandit will give a fine number of gems since this mod is all about hunting monsters.
*Since this mod makes everyone to have fewer gems because of the clock drop, occupying the Gem Mine during the final stretch can lead you to a certain win.
== Trivia ==
* This gamemode may be inspired by the + Clock from the Mario franchise.
* This may be due to a bug, but the 200 Gem-start doesn't count towards Challenges needing you to have a certain amount of Gems at the end of the game. 
** The end ranking can sometimes be wrong, this may be related to this above bug.__NOTOC__
