WAVE STRUCTURE |
Description
PVP Test is a recurring test mode for an upcoming PVP mode. The enemies in PVP Test are based on various modes based on player level, though instead of the goal of surviving to the final wave, players are meant to defeat their opponent by sending enemies at them. If the final wave is beaten, it will repeat indefinitely until one team loses. Wins do not count as triumphs (except for Quests), but losing this mode counts as a loss.
This mode can be played in Casual, which has no added restrictions, and in Ranked, where players from a team can ban up to two towers. This mode has three level based difficulties. The first one is Low Rank, which is based around Casual mode, the second is Mid Rank, which is based on Intermediate and Molten modes and the third is High Rank, that is based on Fallen mode. Which one is started is based on the the player's rank. The player's rank goes up and down with triumphs and loses in Ranked matches.
PVP Test applies multiple restrictions to players. The most noticeable change is the player loadout being reduced to four players. Additionally, all exclusive categories and golden perks are prohibited. Another large change is consumables, as this mode only allows PVP Test exclusive ones.
Every 8 seconds, players receive cash from an economy bonus. The economy bonus could be seen under the tower placement limit. It could be increased by sending enemies to the opponent. Each send increased it by its own value and 
$20 was added to the bonus after each wave.
Cash is only obtained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gotten is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. In solo, the player receives 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed or damaged enough. With each additional player, this decreases by 25%, which means that in a quad, any specific player will only get up to 25% of the cash. This amount is distributed between players based on how much damage they dealt. However, if a player does not deal any damage, they will receive a percentage of the enemy's full cash upon its death or when it was damaged enough, which is 12.5% in duo, 16.7% in trio and 18.75% in quad. If it is a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down. For example, the Hidden Boss gives $600 when killed in solo, $450 in duo, $300 in trio and $150 in quad between the players that damaged it. Players that did not damage it receive $75 in duo, $100 in trio and $113 in quad.
Rewards
PVP Test does not grant any rewards or badges upon completion. Instead, the end of the match screen will show the reward as 
0 EXP.

Wave Structure
The waves in PVP Test mode follow these timings:
| Waves | Wave Timer |
|---|---|
| 1-30 | 0:45 |
| 31 | ∞ |
Bolded names indicate an enemy type's debut.
Once the final wave ends, Wave 31 will start, which is Wave 30 repeated infinitely until one team loses.
Trivia
- It was possible to infinitely delay Wave 7 and Wave 16 by sending enemies, due to the waves not ending until all enemies, including summoned ones, disappeared from the map.
- In the first PVP Test, the Tank could be seen in the send menu, but could not be sent because it was only available starting from Wave 26, while the first PVP Test only had 25 waves.
- Red Team has an inherent advantage against Blue Team as it has less priority, meaning Blue always gets its base health deducted first if two enemies were to enter both bases simultaneously.
