Official badge ladder
The five names below are taken from the official badges Beat Easy Difficulty! through Beat Nightmare Difficulty!. Badge artwork is the official Roblox icon for each award. The difficulty title links to its badge page.
Official Roblox badge
Medium
Beat Medium Difficulty!
Keeps the same loop but expects cleaner coverage and fewer panic sells mid-wave.
Recommended once you have a second usable unit beyond the starter.
Official Roblox badge
Hard
Beat Hard Difficulty!
Punishes thin range and forces you to plan upgrades instead of dumping coins early.
Recommended when Easy and Medium feel automatic and you can fund upgrades through mid-waves.
Official Roblox badge
Insane
Beat Insane Difficulty!
Late waves demand units that hold uptime under pressure; weak early fillers fall off.
Recommended when you already clear Hard consistently and know your upgrade path.
Official Roblox badge
Nightmare
Beat Nightmare Difficulty!
The top badge rung: placement mistakes show up immediately under denser pressure.
Recommended when Insane clears are consistent and your board already holds under late waves.
Progression path
Climb in badge order: Easy → Medium → Hard → Insane → Nightmare. Each step keeps the same platform-start loop while raising what your placement and upgrade discipline must survive. Move up when the current rung feels automatic — not when a trade screenshot says you own an S-band unit you cannot place well yet.
Before Nightmare, fix three things: a reliable damage seat, coverage that actually sees the path, and an economy or support plan that still funds upgrades after the early waves. Jumping from Medium straight to Nightmare skips the Hard and Insane practice those badges reward.
Per-difficulty payout amounts are not published. The badge names below are the only official difficulty evidence. Use the badge pages and your own clear history as the progress signal.
