The Vault

Last verified 2026-07-29 · 1 data table

The Vault is a late-game upgrade system that appears on your home screen once you are promoted into the Legends League. It contains two tech trees of permanent upgrades: Power, which covers tower-related buffs, and Harmony, which covers non-tower buffs and quality-of-life improvements.

Every upgrade in The Vault is bought with Keys, a currency you can only earn through your placements in the Legends League. If you want to progress these trees, consistent Legends participation is the only route.

The Vault

Each tree starts at the bottom and grows upward. You buy the first unlocks at the base, then branch out along the paths shown by the small white arrows in the tree images to reach further upgrades.

The Power tree adds a tier system on top of this. Most nodes can be upgraded to Tier 2 and Tier 3, with each tier costing more Keys: Tier 2 costs double the Tier 1 price, and Tier 3 costs quadruple it. Tiers are gated by your total unlocks. Tier 2 becomes available once you have 15 Tier 1 unlocks, and Tier 3 requires 30 Tier 1 unlocks plus 15 Tier 2 unlocks.

A handful of Power upgrades have only a single level and cannot be tiered up: Ultimate Weapon Damage (All), Bot Range (All), Wall Rebuild, Shockwave Frequency, and Orbs.

Harmony Tree

The Harmony tree holds the non-tower side of The Vault: buffs that do not affect your tower directly, along with quality-of-life upgrades. It follows the same structure as the rest of The Vault, with upgrades purchased using Keys earned from Legends League placements and later nodes opening up as you unlock the ones below them.

The table below lists the Harmony upgrades and their effects.
