The Ultimate Build Defense Beginner’s Guide

This beginner's guide to Build Defense on Roblox will help you survive the onslaught of monsters, tornadoes, bombs, and aliens. While superficially similar to Minecraft, the gameplay is closer to early Fortnite. The key is survival, not just base defense.

Survival is Key: Your goal is to survive each wave of attacks. While building a base is helpful, you can also evade threats until they pass. Each successful survival earns you in-game currency and progress.

Dying is Normal: Don't stress about dying; it's frequent and has minimal consequences. You respawn quickly, lose temporary items, and fail the current wave, but your structures remain intact, and waves respawn regularly. You can repurchase lost items.

Build High, Not Wide: Ground-level walls are ineffective. Build tall towers with stairs, creating a high platform for refuge during attacks. Enemies struggle to climb, and you can easily defend the top with turrets.

Explore Beyond Your Base: The island offers more than just your plot. Visit neighbors, sell ores, and complete quests (some available immediately, others requiring wins) to unlock new building components.

Utilize the In-Game Shop: The shop offers many items purchasable with in-game currency earned through wins. Don't forget the free gift for joining the Swiftplay Roblox group and interacting with the game.

Progress to New Areas: After accumulating 190 wins, advance to new areas with fresh challenges, quests, and building opportunities.
