ONE ARENA. INFINITE WAVES.
Elementex is a tactical tower-defense run. No worlds to grind. No campaign to crawl. One hex arena, one shot at the leaderboard, and every decision counts.
THE LOOP
Build between waves. Place towers on hex tiles. Bend the path with free walls. Tap a tower mid-wave to fire its skill. Lives reach zero, the run ends, and your best wave is the only number that matters.
FOUR ELEMENTS. ONE WHEEL.
Fire beats Frost. Frost beats Nature. Nature beats Lightning. Lightning beats Fire. Hit a weakness for 1.5x damage. Hit a resistance for 0.7x. Read the wave, pick the counter, or pay for it.
UPGRADE WITH GOLD, NOT WITH WALLETS
Every upgrade is bought with in-run gold. One tower per element - push its damage, its fire rate, or its range, each on a rising cost curve, as far as your gold this run will stretch. No blueprints. No cores. No permanent unlocks to grind. Your build is what you can pay for, this run, right now.
THE BOSS DROPS WHAT YOU EARNED
Every fifth wave is a boss. The boss drops a chest of three runes. You see every drop, every stat, every price, before you spend a single gem. Whatever you do not keep goes into the Recall Pool for seven days at +25 percent. Nothing disappears. Nothing is hidden.
NO LOOT BOXES. EVER.
No mystery chests. No gacha. No silhouettes that resolve into "common." Every reward is on the table, with its price tag, before you commit. The promise is written into the design: transparent rewards, no paid randomness, no surprise costs.
RUNES STAY. RUNS DON'T.
Runs reset. Runes you keep persist across runs. Combine two of the same rarity to climb to the next. Five rarities: Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic. Mythic is boss-chest only and carries a unique passive skill. An element-matched rune on its tower hits 20 percent harder. Never required. Always rewarding.
THE CLIMB
The arena is the same on wave one as it is on wave fifty. The enemies are faster, fatter, and meaner. There is no end state. There is only the next wave, the global leaderboard, and the question of how far you can hold the line.
