The event the community plans around
Boss Rush is where builds get famous — or get exposed. Four seasons a year, one ladder, zero excuses.
Every season remixes the classics: a Kraken that surfaces twice, a Wartoise with a rage timer, a shark with friends. The modifier stacks are tuned by the same team that builds our coaching doctrine, so every run rewards preparation over luck. Entry is deliberately cheap — this is a community event, and a wide ladder is a better ladder. Past seasons have made careers, ended win-streaks, and once required a ruling on whether a squid counted as a boss. (It did.)
What commanders report
“Cleared the triple-modifier Kraken with two seconds on the clock. The crowd audio in finals is worth the twelve bucks alone.”
“Lost in round two to a rage Wartoise. Immediately bought next season's entry. This is the best worst evening in TD.”
