This was part of the 2023 XMAS Event. As of 21/01/2024, the event has concluded.


Description

The XMAS gamemode was the first event gamemode added to Tower Defense X. Enemies were resistant to ice, making Cryo Blaster less viable for this gamemode. Beating the XMAS gamemode awarded players the Cryo Ranger tower, along with one of 6 random Christmas Skins. Players would have to beat this gamemode 6 times in order to get all of the skins. Players would then have to beat XMAS Nightmare in order to obtain the Christmas Artillery skin.

Exo Santa is the final boss of this gamemode. It can spawn an Elf Guardian, a Wendigo, and several Snow Pals, shoot multiple burst at towers, and has a three shot burst that targets the most expensive tower, with each shot stunning them even if they have Stun ImmunityStun Immunity. When damaged heavily, it will lose most of its "skin", revealing its endoskeleton underneath.
