Plasma game modes

Plasma is the dark purple building on the main map. It has three game modes, and they are the only source of Plasma Coins, the currency of the Plasma Mall.

PvE

Photon Survival

  • The player-versus-bots mode and the best way to farm Plasma Coins.
  • You and your guild (up to 25 players) hold off waves that keep getting stronger.
  • Every 10 waves the boss shows up: the Jellyfish Overlord.
  • Die or disconnect and you are out, with no way back in.
  • Coins every 5 waves, doubled during Double Coins.
PvP

Antimatter PvP

  • A map with other players, one gun and one melee. Lasts 30 min, every 5 hours.
  • Guns: AM SMG, AM Prototype, Photon SMG, Magma Coffin and Soul Hunter (buffed versions).
  • Every 2 kills = 1 Plasma Coin. Deaths and kills also give Gralats.
  • The top 3 get extra coins and the top 1 gets a Win/MVP, required for some items.
Events

Plasma Events

  • Events hosted by Era staff every now and then.
  • I post them in the NOXZ group.
Note from SayozEvery role has a video with a circle showing where you stand. Watch it before the run and you will know what to do.

How to join and when to play

Runs are hosted by guilds and scheduled around Double Coins (DC).

Joining a run

  • Go to Plasma Corp on the map, next to the Spar Complex.
  • To get recruited as a healer, have 15k+ darts. As a TC you need 10+ damage and to know how to guide bots.
  • Ask the guild leader for the tag. Only the leader or rank 5 can press Join. remove takes the tag off.
  • In the run: doublecheck shows the DC timer and leave exits.
  • Once recruited, be online on time and read the guild chat.

Double Coins timing

  • Timer at 2:00: look for a guild.
  • Timer at 1:40: the run starts.
  • That way the high waves, which pay the most, land inside DC.

Who does what in a run

Three main roles: Healer, Turret Clearer (TC) and Attacker. Tap a video to watch it full screen.

Healer character
Healer

Keeping the team alive

Healers use Nuclear Darts or a Nuclear Dartgun, and it is the role I recommend for new players. The positions are Ph, Top Dg, Top H, Bot H and LH. Every healer not in one of those is a Wall Healer.

Macro = banYou no longer get warped for standing still, but macro/auto-clicker bans are much more common now. Spam by hand.
Top Dg
Healer

Top Dg · Top Dartgun

  • First on the wall, at the top of the left wall near the tower. Dartgun only.
  • Spam non-stop to keep the Top H alive.
  • Stay put: your position is the Top H’s reference.
30 FPSTop Dg and Top H need 30 FPS or more, otherwise the darts do not land.
Top H
Healer

Top H · Top Healer

  • Stands on top of the Top Dg spamming all the time. Keeps the whole healer wall alive.
  • If you can’t see the Top Dg’s darts, you are in the right spot: they are healing you.
  • Started seeing their darts? Adjust until they disappear.
30 FPSSince the latest update, the Top H must run at 30 FPS for the position to work.
LH
Healer

LH · Lock Healer

  • Two healers facing each other, healing one another. Both are called LH.
  • Keeps a constant flow of darts on the right side.
  • Use the floor circle as a guide. Not seeing your partner’s darts = right position.
Bot H
Healer

Bot H · Bottom Healer

  • The bottom of the wall, spamming towards mid.
  • Not as mandatory as Top H, Top Dg or LH, but it keeps people at the bottom of the wall alive, usually the TCs.
Ph M
Healer

Ph M · Personal Healer Mid

  • Constantly heals the Mid attacker.
  • With 2 Phs: Ph 1 heals the attacker and Ph 2 heals Ph 1.
  • You can help guide bots, but keeping the attacker alive comes first.
  • Only 1 Mid Ph? Stand beside the attacker, never behind.
Ph R
Healer

Ph R · Personal Healer Right

  • Constantly heals the Right attacker.
  • Now has a fixed spot: go there and you no longer need to move.
  • Shoot only upwards and check that the LH is healing you.
60 FPSAt 60 FPS the bots go wild and the Ph R ends up guiding an Assault and a Mercenary.
TC character
Turret Clearer

Clearing the turrets

TCs destroy the turrets in the run. It is the role I recommend for players who want to learn how to move around the map and guide bots. TCs can also help guide and kill bots, but timing matters: doing it wrong can sabotage the run.

TC · Left
Turret Clearer

TC · Camping Left

  • A basic path: camp the turret, destroy it and come back.
CarefulIn the clip the TC goes left right after the turret. That is not recommended without a good dash item: go down first, then left.
TC · Right
Turret Clearer

TC · Camping Right

  • A different TC path, on the right side of the map.
  • Today’s TC uses the AM Hellstorm Scythe: 15 damage on turrets. You need at least 10 damage.
Turret pixelEvery plasma turret has a special pixel where it can’t hit you. Find it and camp there.
Attacker

Guiding, stacking and killing

Attackers guide, stack and kill the bots. You need a good melee, and it is the role for the most experienced players.

L Attacker
Attacker

L Attacker

  • Guide, stack and kill the bots on the Left side as fast as possible.
  • Done? Help kill bots on the other sides.
  • Keep your Ph alive by healing them when needed.
M Attacker
Attacker

M Attacker

  • Guide, stack and kill the bots in the Mid as fast as possible.
  • Done? Help kill bots on the other sides.
  • Keep your Phs alive by healing them when needed.
R Attacker
Attacker

R Attacker

  • Guide, stack and kill the bots on the Right side as fast as possible.
  • Done? Help kill bots on the other sides.
  • Keep your Ph alive by healing them when needed.
Boss Lock
Boss

Boss Locking

  • How to guide and lock the Jellyfish Overlord, the boss that appears every 10 waves.
  • It doesn’t have to be assigned, but it’s good practice to let only a few players guide it.
  • On the wave before the boss (9, 19, 29…), check your darts and hold your position.
04 · Map

Left, Mid and Right

The run map split into three sides. Each attacker handles one, with their Ph. The healer wall stands on the left wall.

Plasma Survival map split into Left, Mid and Right

06 · Checklist

Golden rules

Before and during the run

  • Have 15k+ darts, plus a Dartgun if you play Top Dg.
  • If the host assigns you a role, do it. Refusing can get you left out of future runs.
  • No macros: spam by hand.
  • FPS: Top Dg and Top H at 30+, Ph R at 60.
  • Not seeing your partner’s darts = right position (Top H and LH).
  • Get the team ready on the wave before the boss.

Closing remarks

There are other strategies in survival. In ultras (wave 200+ runs), for example, every TC could be an attacker. This guide is for players who are still getting to know survival runs.

Some roles are flexible. What matters is teamwork and communication, in a healthy and cooperative environment.

AvoidTop H seeing the Top Dg’s darts, using macros, Ph R chasing the attacker, and Ph L forgetting to spam upwards at the start of the wave.
