How PvP Works

Loadout

• Also, your starting Defenses are Bans. Hypothetically, you and the other player can select the same Defenses, but if you don't, those Defenses will never show up for your opponent throughout the game.

Maps

Sending Axons

• Every two of the same Axon you send will Upgrade it. The cost is raised by 5 Credits, but it gains Armor, or Mk 2, and eventually even Shields.
• Send enough of one Axon in a tree, and you'll Unlock the next tier of Axons in that branch.

Other Notes

• End-of-wave Rewards are mostly identical.
  • The Defense Upgrades may be different, but you and the opponent are given the same New Defense choice, Tech choice, and same distribution of Credits/Adds/Power.
• You get Credits back for Axons you send when they're destroyed.
  • However, you don't get the Credits back when they leak.
• Each life you lose gives you a Free Send. These won't progress the Axon Tech Tree, but you can send something back without cost!
• Some Defenses cost less in PvP than other modes. This should help make most builds viable!
