Objective
The goal of Toypocalypse is to protect gift dolyaks and survive malfunctioning toys for 10 rounds.

  • Each round has five waves of hostile malfunctioning toys. The UI tracks which round you’re on.
  • Toys increase in quantity every two rounds. The amount of toys is tracked in the UI.
  • From lowest to highest, the toy quantity levels are:
    • Skirmish
    • Assault
    • Siege
    • Onslaught
    • Toypocalypse

You fail the activity if any of the following things happen:

  • All five gift dolyaks die.
  • All five players are dead at the same time.

Misc
Extra tips to help you survive.

  • While participating in this activity, you’ll be unable to heal or regenerate health through your own skills. To recover health, you must travel to the map’s center and enter the healing field.
  • After each level (every two rounds) a mysterious gift box drops near the center of the map. It contains presents for players.
  • After each level (every two rounds) hay appears near the center of the map. It partially heals gift dolyaks.
  • Explore the map. You may find other things that will help you survive Toypocalypse.
  • After each round, you have a short time to build your defenses. The amount of time decreases as the activity progresses.
