Coins
Coins are a core permanent currency used for long-term progression, especially in the Server and Shop systems.
Compared to Bits (run currency), Coins are account-level progression currency.
What Coins Are Used For
Coins are mainly spent on:
- Downloads (start download timers)
- Some progression systems that depend on download completion and unlock chains
Because Downloads are so important, Coin income directly affects your account growth speed.
How You Earn Coins
Coins are gained from multiple sources, including:
- Enemy kills
- Wave progression rewards (for example coins-per-wave effects)
- Milestone rewards
- Worker generation (Coin Worker active/idle)
- Other multipliers and progression systems
Coin Scaling
Coin gain is heavily affected by multipliers, such as:
- Cup/Tier coin multipliers
- Equipped coin boosts
- Coin-related modules
- Executable boosts
- Upgrades that increase coin income per enemy/wave
As your progression improves, Coin gain scales from early scarcity to high-throughput farming.
Coins vs Bits (Important Difference)
- Bits = run currency (used mostly during active run upgrades/modules)
- Coins = progression currency (used heavily for Downloads and account progression)
If you only focus Bits and ignore Coins, account progression can bottleneck.
Why Coins Matter So Much
Coins power Downloads, and Downloads unlock major systems:
- Upgrade category unlock progression
- Module/system capacity expansions
- Worker utility improvements
- Core stat growth downloads
In practice: better Coin economy = faster Download progression = faster total account growth.
Coin Economy Tips
- Keep at least one Coin-focused boost/loadout option.
- Invest in coin-related upgrades and downloads early.
- Use Coin Worker for passive support.
- Push milestones that grant big coin rewards when progression stalls.
- Balance coin spending: prioritize high-impact unlock downloads first.
Quick Summary
Coins are your long-term progression fuel. If Bits win runs, Coins build the account that makes future runs much stronger.
