General

Groups of monsters will walk down the path and try to get out the end, you have to stop them. You use coins to buy towers tokens from the Tower Distributor. Also get coins from the Game Master. Hand the token to one of those towers along the top of the game. The tower will create a battle tower on the game board. Watch the towers go pew pew pew! You have to be careful because the coins you get will be limited. Survive all the waves of monsters and you win.

Walk Through

You must be Master rank in your faction to play this minigame.
Speak to the Tactical Officer in the armor smith room (north wing) of your Faction Stronghold for a Yes No dialog to enter the Tactical Arena.
Give 5 Commendation Ribbons to the Tactical Training Officer to start the game.
You will be given a few tokens to buy towers, purchase them from the Tower Distributor. Give to the translucent tower of your choice (match the colors) and an active tower will drop down on the board. You can upgrade towers to make them more powerful.
Obtain more tokens to buy towers from the Game Master. The number of tokens he gives you depends upon ??. Sometimes immediately talking to him again gets more tokens, sometimes not.
There are several types of mini creatures, it's possible each has their own speed and weaknesses. They meander in single file through the maze of trails until they make it to the stone tunnel exit.
If 50 monsters make it to the end before the time is up you lose (aprox. 8-9 minutes), at that point the towers despawn as does the token guy and any remaining monsters continue to wander as they are cleaned up.
If less than 50 have exited when the time is up, you win and a reward guy shows up near the coin npc.
Strategies that work well:
- Use two people. While one person buys and drops tokens, the second looks for ideal towers to drop and upgrade and stand by it so the other person can run to it right away.
- Early on you will have few tokens so will have to predominately buy archer and flame towers.
