Description

Crystal Cave is a Normal map that is entirely enclosed. It has an extremely long path, with an average amount of cliff spaces spread across the map.

Rewards

The game calculates how many Coins Coins, Gems Gem and you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more (Friday – Sunday), any earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Regular boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map. Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.

Strategy

Towers are likely to be spread out due to the expanse of the map. This will reduce the amount of towers in the Commander's range. Multiple Commanders may be required to boost every tower. The DJ Booth can also help remedy this problem. As the map is quite large, long-range towers are recommended. This helps you attack enemies near the middle of the map, where short-range towers cannot reach. Because of the magma and other map formations preventing tower placement, locating towers requires some planning.

Patch history

Prior to the MEGA Update, the roof was non-collidable, so the Freezer could use its Ice Drop ability. In the first version of Crystal Cave, when spawning in, players would spawn above the map and fall through the roof of the cave. In the second version, players who spawned for the first time would sometimes appear above the map and become stuck as the roof was collidable. To enter the cave, players would have had to reset to spawn inside. The first version of this map did have an outside baseplate. However, players could not leave the vicinity of the cave due to invisible walls surrounding the cave. There was a larger grey baseplate beneath the outside baseplate. During the developmental of the first version of Crystal Cave, it had two easter eggs which were linked to Minecraft. The first was a Creeper Head, and the second was a Diamond Pickaxe. However, these easter eggs were removed before Crystal Cave was released. On the 7th of March 2022, this map, alongside Wrecked Battlefield, Grass Isle and Sacred Mountains were accidentally left as the only survival maps in the game. It, alongside Grass Isle, were the only playable survival maps. The Crystal Cave used the Grass Isle icon and difficulty on the elevator. The profile card for Crystal Cave would use a sprite of Boyfriend from Friday Night Funkin. This would later be changed on 12th of March 2022, so that the profile card uses an image of the map instead. The sprite could have also been seen whenever Crystal Cave was in Matchmaking rotation prior to the 21st of November 2022.
