Here are some tips for each role:
===Defender:===
Use your Stoneburster to go fight the Horde!
===Builder:===
Go find rocks to mine with your Pickaxe to get Dynamic terrain to protect the vault.
===Ranger:===
Go into the distance and find any stragglers from the Horde that are stuck on props or are staying behind and defeat them with your Prickler.
===Tank:===
Stay near the vault to defeat any big bosses with your Twister that come too close!
===Healer:===
Play as a different role at the start. Then, once you have enough crystals, switch to this role and heal up the vault! If you're playing multi-player, someone else can start as one of the attacker roles (Defender, Ranger, Tank, or technically Miner) and you pick up the crystals of the enemies they defeat. Note that you can only have 15 Crystals at a time
===Crowd Control:===
Better for harder difficulty, long reload interval.
==Official How-to-Play==
Answer questions. Earn Energy. Defend the base from the Horde! Survive as many waves as you can!
==Official Description (By Gimkit)==
Get ready to defend!
Your group is stranded and zombies are attacking the hatch to your underground base.
No one knows where these creatures came from or why they’re here. All we know is that you’ll need all your skills to defend the hatch.
In this fast-paced 2D game mode, you’ll answer questions to gain energy, allowing you to move, mine, build, and defend.
Before the game starts, you'll choose your role that will help you best defend the vault:
*Builders mine stone and build or can share with teammates to help defend
*Rangers launch projectiles from further away, but slower and longer reload times
*Tanks deal heavier damage but move slower
*Healers collect crystals dropped by zombies and deposit them at the vault to repair it
Choose wisely, your group will need different skills to keep the zombies at bay!
==The Horde==
The Horde is the main enemies of the game. They come in different numbers depending on the wave and the number of players and do not target players, but the base. If they do enough damage to the base, the game ends.
