Battle Mode

Battle Mode is a gamemode in Tower Heroes that was introduced during the July 28th 2021 Update. It focuses on outlasting and sabotaging your opponents in two teams with up to three players, trying to last longer in the game to win. Players can use attacks/sabotages to make the game harder for the opposing team, causing chaos all around. More win rewards (Coins/EXP) are given the longer both teams play in the game.
==Attacks ==
One of the most crucial/most important parts of battle mode are the unique Sabotages and Attacks that are chosen at random. Sabotages are the exact same for both you and the enemy team, but can be reshuffled over time. After using a sabotage, it will randomly shuffle into a different sabotage. Sabotages get more and more expensive as the rounds progress, making them even more difficult to use. Their price is their base cost multiplied by the current wave and they have a 20 second cooldown.

==Trivia== 
*Modifiers can be added to a round of Battle Mode.
*The bosses appear on specific waves. (Below examples are without modifiers)
** On Wave 25, Corrupted Knight comes out.
** On Wave 35, Void Reaper comes out.
** On Wave 40, Sylvia the Dragon Queen comes out.
* The Splatter sabotage could possibly be inspired by the Blooper from the Mario Kart series.
* Stun Immunity's id has a spelling error. Instead of "stunBreak" it was spelled "stumBreak".
* "noJump" is the only sabotage that has a Loading Screen, a unique icon, but doesn't appear in any match. Sandbox is the only way to activate it and it won't do anything.
*The Jester of Chaos modifier makes it so attacks cannot be used. 
**This is because Jester randomly sabotages both teams.
*In Raid Maps, the map will have a customized path. 
**Fences, Spike Traps, Towers, and Lampy are not able to be placed.
*In Special Maps teams have special names. 
**Easter Eggland has team names based off of Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales.
**Halloween Havoc has team names based off of Halloween.
**Toy Takeover has team names based off of Christmas.
**Knoddy's Resort has team names based off the various things in Robot 64 (Guards, Robots, Ice Cream, etc).
**Metaverse Madness has team names based off of each champion in the Metaverse Champions event: AJ, Fey, Wren, and Sparks.
**Oddport Academy has team names based off of the 3 clubs: Murder, Witchery, and Swashbuckling.
*The Tutoro sabotage has a small chance of making Sparks Kilowatt talk instead of Tutoro. Ice Brain, El Goblino, Soda Pop, Tori from the Frosty Mountain wishlist quest, and Instance from Above the Clouds can also appear.
** The chance of this to happen heavily increases on Metaverse Madness.
**In this dialogue, Sparks Kilowatt thanks the player for helping them win Metaverse Champions.
**There are currently plans to add more features in Battle mode in the future, as hinted in the PixelBit's Q&A
Transcripts
: Oh look! It is (person name)!
: Nice to see you again, thanks for helping me save my package!
: I also managed to win the title of Metaverse Champion thanks to you!
: Make sure you win this game, I'm cheering for you!
**In El Goblino's, he claims he is back in Tower Heroes once more, which he will tell Bob after, but after he gets some soda from Soda Pop.
Transcripts
: Oye hombre I must have fell asleep again...
: Am I in Tower Heroes again düd?!
: I gotta tell Bob all about this!
: Eheehee... gotta get more soda from rat düd!
** In Ice Brain's dialogue, he mentions how he's in Tower Heroes again, but now he knows how to stop the player.
Transcripts
: It looks like Ice Brain is back in Tower Heroes...
: Ice Brain shall not lose again!
: Ice Brain know your tricks!
: You stand no chance!
: Heh! Back from whence you came!
**In Tori's dialogue, she claims to have just reached the peak of Frosty Mountain before realizing she's in Tower Heroes. Soda Pop offers Tori a nice and cold soda, which she accepts, before freezing due to it being too cold.
Transcripts
: I finally made it to the top of Frosty Mountain!
: Wait... This isn't Frosty Mountain. This is Tower Heroes!
: Hi do you want a soda!? Its nice and cold!
: I would love a soda!
(Tori gets Icebrained)
: Its way too cold!
: !!!
** In Instance's dialogue, he takes mild interest in the player's presence in Tower Heroes, and mentions that some people have found something he is looking for, even stating the purposes of said thing he is looking for, (cheating death, tearing loved ones apart) claiming he has seen it all and stating that "It will all end in time."
Transcripts
: Having fun (person name)?
: I gotta say, this is quite the interesting world. It has exactly what I need.
: It seems like some have already found what I'm looking for though...
: From cheating death to tearing loved ones apart, I've seen it all.
: It will all end in time.
* If nobody HP's is depleted to 0 after wave 40, a message saying "SUDDEN DEATH!" appears, and this wave will have multiple enemies continually spawn with increasing HP until 1 team dies, the boss being a Demise with 12 million HP. It's also affected by the Jester of Chaos Modifier.
