Currency

There are currently seven types of Currency in TDX: two gameplay currencies, Cash and Credits, 3 progression currencies, Gold, Crystals, and XP, and two active event currencies: Eggs and Tokens. Additionally, there are two more event currencies, Cookies and Envelopes, that were removed from the game at the end of their respective Events.

Gameplay Currencies

Cash

The central currency of TDX's gameplay, Cash is used for placing and upgrading Towers. There are multiple ways to acquire Cash:

• Additional Cash will also be given at the beginning of every wave, depending on the wave, number of players, and Gamemode.
• Cash is also acquired by damaging Enemies, which gives $1.5 for every point damaged. [Note: damage does not give Cash, and Enemies with the No Cash Attribute will not give any Cash.
• Additionally, more Cash can be acquired through the use of Monetary Towers or Monetary Power-ups.

Finally, Cash can be acquired by selling already placed Towers, which gives 50% of the Tower's value back. Note that bottom path EDJ increases the sellback value of Towers in it's range.
