Fanon:Endless Defense

Endless Defense is a gamemode where players are all on the same team and have to last as long as they can against waves of enemies, Crashers, and bosses from different Diep.io AUs, including the The Tale of Diep, and the Extended Tale of Diep.

Gameplay
This gamemode is unlocked at the very end of the Tale of Diep expansion, and requires you to have beaten the Avatar of Panzer at least once. Once a team has done so, it is unlocked forever for them. All players are on the Blue team, and there is no win condition. The only objective is to survive for as long as you can, and there is no limit on players in one server, with three lives per player. New players can join at any time, so this gamemode is constantly ongoing. If all players die or leave somehow, the arena is closed. The server must be very powerful to not lag...

All players start at level 45, since this gamemode gets crazy quite quickly after wave 5. Prophets and Cult Guards are banned, since this doesn't have anything to do with the Cult of Panzer other than the bosses. The arena is 5x the size of a normal map, and enemies come in a hole through the top out of a giant Fortress on the top of the map. They then do what they do against players. Simple prospect, tons of players. Tons. Knowing people, they want space, so they'll move around and not get bunched up. Imagine packs of 20-50 players chasing down 6-12 Heptazoids... times twenty. That's how crazy this gamemode gets later on. For bosses with special arenas, they appear in the center of the map (if there are multiple, there is only one arena. In the case of the Final Sons, their Mega Fortresses appear on the bottom of the map instead of the top and the boss room will grow to accommodate all of them.) When all enemies of a wave are destroyed, the wave ends and the next one begins in 15-30 seconds. Note that players can rejoin instantly when they die 3 times... so it's truly endless. You just lose all your points per run of 3 lives. If a wave is not progressed for 12 hours, the arena is closed.

Waves

 * 1: 5x Type 1 Crasher
 * 2: 10x Type 1 Crasher
 * 3: 20x Type 2 Crasher
 * 4: 30x Type 3 Crasher
 * 5: 1x Type 1 Boss

 * 12: 90x Type 4 Crasher
 * 13: 25x Type 3 Polygon
 * 14: 30x Type 2 Polygon
 * 15: 6x Type 2 Boss

After Wave 15, what the enemies are are randomized. For example, it is a Type 1 Enemy set that is to be spawned, it is 5-20 times the wave number. The exact values are below:
 * Type 1 Enemies: 20-75 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 1 Crashers: 100-300 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 2 Crashers: 75-250 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 3 Crashers: 75-225 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 4 Crashers: 50-200 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 5 Crashers: 50-150 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 1 Polygons: 75-225 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 2 Polygons: 25-100 * (wave number/10)
 * Type 3 Polygons: 10-50 * (wave number/10)

Bosses spawn every 5 waves, and sometimes there are special bosses. Type 5 Bosses cannot appear before wave 50, Type 6 before wave 75, Type 7 before wave 90, Type 8 before wave 100, Type 9 before wave 120, and Type 10 before wave 150.
 * Type 1 Bosses: 50-75 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 2 Bosses: 30-50 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 3 Bosses: 10-20 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 4 Bosses: 10-15 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 5 Bosses: 8-15 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 6 Bosses: 8-12 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 7 Bosses: 5-8 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 8 Bosses: 2-5 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 9 Bosses: 1-3 * (wave number/20)
 * Type 10 Bosses: Only spawns on waves that have a number divisible by 1000

Special Waves:
 * Wave 50: 2x all four Final Sons.
 * Wave 100: 3x Nostradamus
 * Wave 200: 1x War Machine III
 * Wave 222: 22x The Twins
 * Wave 300: 11x Storm of Fragments
 * Wave 333: 33x Sassafras and Sassafras and Sassafras and... okay stop that.
 * Wave 400: 12x Archprophet
 * Wave 500: 60x Leviathan
 * Wave 555: 35,000x Swarm Seeker
 * Wave 600: 18x Dr. Lacus
 * Wave 666: 70x The Harbinger
 * Wave 700: 30x Glimpse of Panzer
 * Wave 777: 77x Boris the Ghost Butler
 * Wave 800: 2x all Disciples, 3x Storm of Fragments 1x Polygon Mother (how is that possible?!)
 * Wave 900: 20x War Machine II
 * Wave 1000: 5x Avatar of Panzer

Every time the cycle repeats, the boss or enemy is replaced by another from its category and the number increases by 50% each time the 1000 wave cycle repeats, so instead of 3x Nostradamus on wave 1100, there will be 5x Olympus. That's just an example.

Trivia

 * This would be a great way to farm Panzer Tokens were it not for the fact that bosses don't drop Panzer Tokens at all. Instead, you get 1 every 20th wave after wave 60.
 * An idea of a cross-AU Diep.io mashup has got to be the best thing ever.
 * There's an Insane mode, where if after 5 minutes * wave number a boss isn't defeated... enemies keep spawning. And after that, 5 more minutes (no multiplier) per wave... don't let them stack up!
 * In this gamemode, killing bosses will not reward any achievements. There are, however, achievements for doing certain things in this gamemode.
 * A notification appears when a wave starts and when all enemies have been destroyed. If a boss wave needs a special fortress for that boss, the location will be denoted in its wave start notification.
 * Bosses that talk are silenced. We don't want five hundred Sassafras talking over each other.
