What is Tide Siege
Tide Siege is a base-defense PvE mode running for 31 days on the original server. Players defend their base against waves of minions and named-boss heroes. Solo, duo, or trio queue is supported.
Path: Mode → Arcade → Tide Siege.
Distinct from Tide Clash (the All-Star 5v5 PvP mode launching on May 8) — Tide Siege is the PvE counterpart in the Tide-themed event suite.

Mode structure — Standard vs Endless
| Mode | Waves | Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 18 waves | Available from launch |
| Endless | Infinite | Unlocks after clearing Standard once |
Endless is the long-tail content — same wave structure but doesn't end, so per-wave buff stacking and item budget are what carries you deep.

Boss schedule and the wave-18 fight
| Wave | Boss |
|---|---|
| 6 | Zetian |
| 12 | Bane |
| 18 | Final boss — 4-sided Xavier-style ultimate, repeats |
Other wave-bosses cited in the source (positions not specified): Pharsa, Aurora, Saber.
The wave-18 final boss is the dodge check. Kazuki: "She has this 4 sided Xavier ultimate and it activates multiple times. You would better dodge this one." Standard-mode clear is gated on this fight.

Hero recommendations — DPS, not tanks
Tide Siege is a damage check, not a survival check. Kazuki: "Overall pick heroes which has faster attack speed and heavy damage because picking tanks here will just be a waste."
| Hero | Why |
|---|---|
| Hanabi | Bounce damage clears clustered minion waves efficiently. |
| Vexana | Passive AoE damage scales with wave density. |
| Benedetta | Mobility + sustained DPS for boss kiting. |
| Kimmy | Long-range DPS keeps her safe from boss CC. |
The pattern: prioritize attack speed and DPS over defense. Tanks contribute almost nothing because the mode rewards killing waves before they reach the base, not absorbing damage.

Talent system and shell economy
The mode has its own progression layer separate from your main loadout:
- 10 talent attributes, each upgradable across 10 levels.
- Shells drop from minion waves; collect them to upgrade talents between waves.
- Per-wave buff selections apply on top of talents — pick the buff that compounds with your hero's damage profile.
- Gold from boss drops funds in-mode item purchases. Kazuki: "Buying items is very important in this mode because the longer you survive the tougher the bosses become."
Translation: don't try to power through with default builds. Spend shells aggressively on talents, pick buffs that synergize with your DPS, and keep buying items every time a boss drops gold.
