General information

The Campaign Selector

Build the Defense Simulator on your base and through it you can embark on a number of defensive campaigns against stronger and stronger NPCs of differing levels, research levels, and troop compositions. More campaigns will unlock as you level up your Defense Simulator building.

Each campaign has a number of individual attacks that can be initiated by using a charge of the Defense Simulator, which is similar to that of a Warp Gate, except that it has a shorter recharge time of only 15 minutes and a 6-launch capacity.

At the end of each simulation you will be scored as to how effectively you defended your base receiving XP and an item. Any buildings lost in the simulation will not be damaged when you return to your base.

The key to maximizing the points is to lose no buildings in the fight (3 stars) and do it on the first attempt (2x bonus). The key to winning in the first attempt is to either blow a simulator charge to see where that particular level will attack, or to know beforehand. See Campaign Info for more details. By defending with your strongest towers at the point of attack you can defeat a simulation for the maximum score. Eventually, of course, you will meet enemies too strong for your level.

Updated Defense Simulator!

Commander,

The defense simulator campaigns are now better than ever!
The level 10 - 14 defense simulator campaigns have just been redesigned to provide you with battles that will push your base to the limit! The Incineraptor Invasion campaign has also been updated as the new level 15 defense simulator campaign that will provide you with the most rewarding challenge yet.
In addition, you will be rewarded with a special mystery box the first time you get 3 stars on each defense simulator battle!
Use the defense simulator now to test your base against the toughest attacks in all of Cerulea IV!

Boosts and bonus

As you can see in the following sections, the maximum boost you can receive is 240, if you use a Defense Sim XP x30, lose no buildings and are unlocking the simulation.

XP Boost

Depending on what you choose on the Boost Selection screen, battle XP is multiplied by:

  • 1x (

Star XP Boost

Depending on the number of Defense Buildings you lose in the simulation, you will get stars and XP boosts as following:

  • No buildings lost*: 3 stars and 4x XP boost
  • Less than 1/2 of total turrets lost: 2 stars and 2x XP boost
  • More than 1/2 or total turrets lost: 1 star and no XP boost
  • Note: non-defense buildings such as barracks/factories may be lost without incurring in any penalty. Only losing a turret will prevent you from gaining 3 stars.
  • If CC is destroyed you lost.

Unlock bonus XP Boost

The first you win a simulation you will get a 2x XP boost.

Attacks come from which direction?

Polar directions

Polar directions

On the mission selector you have 8 possible choices.

The first page of Defense Training starts at N and ends at SW. The second page of Defense Training starts at S and ends at NE and so on.

NW N NE
W

+

E
SW S SE

It continues around your base counter clockwise.

This means that when the last mission of Tank Maneuver is at W the first of The Vanguard missions will be at SW.

Note: some campaigns DO NOT follow the counter-clockwise scheme, with attacks coming from seemingly random directions (Noted in All or Nothing, other campaigns may have this feature/bug).

Note: some simulations with multiple kinds of unit may not attack from the same spot. Some Ahh! Giant Spiders' simulations have this feature but it's mostly noted in All or Nothing (and probably onward). For example, Shrikes may appear from the S corner and after a few seconds Disruptors and Pulse Tanks will spawn from the N corner, usually far away from the base, out from base's visible boundaries.

Prizes

After each battle, besides gaining XP, you can also win one of theze prizes (The odds of winning an Incendiary Core after 3 stars are 1 in 180.):

The 3-star victory in every level within a campaign will drop a special item as specified below:

Defense Sim Encrytped[sic] Boxes

-Incoming Message from Zoot-

My Spies have intercepted some enemy cargo, and its contents are ours for the taking! What's the catch you may ask Commander? It's[sic] information is encrypted, and guess who has the key?

Zoot, of course!

Starting today, you'll begin to see various encrypted boxes start dropping from the Defense Sim. If you snag one of these boxes bring it to me and I can unlock its contents...for a small fee of course!

Make sure to visit the Defense Sim today and begin your hunt for these powerful boxes! They can contain some premium items like Incendiary Cores, Vermillion Cores, Cerulean Cores, and even rare Engineering Lab Equipment and patches.

The key to these boxes can be purchased from the store, so visit the featured tab for more information.
