Mastering the Leaderboards
By now you've had plenty of time to dig your heels into Orcs Must Die! and you've probably gotten into a few competitions with your friends over leaderboard scores. We've seen plenty of bragging about scores on Twitter and the forums, but we've also seen a ton of people asking what they can do to maximize their scores. Our designers specifically set up the scoring system to be very granular. You and I could play the level the exact same way, but if I beat your time by even a second, I'll be a point higher than you on the leaderboards.
In an effort to help those high-score-chasing War Mages out there, I sat down with one of our programmers to pull out information about exactly how your performance affects your leaderboard score in Orcs Must Die! Here's a look at exactly how many points you get for your various murder methods in the game. Here's a handy graph of how everything you do in the game affects your final score:

Traps are an essential part of the game, and you'll notce that they count for twice as many points as a combat kills. It's all well and good if you can skirt by with the crossbow and bladestaff, but you'll never climb the leaderboards like that. We've been telling you from the beginning that it's all about combos. As you can see, if you start hitting anything past 4 combos, your points go up significantly. Expiriment in the levels with combining lethal and non-lethal traps for higher combo points. And don't forget about the Steel Weaver Upgrade that will give your Archer Guardians flaming arrows and an extra combo point.
Once you get to Nightmare, the points for Combat and Trap/Guardian kills double. That's where the real point-hoarders play.
What's your highest combo? Let us know is the comments!







All in the combos!
Yea I've been having a great time with the directors challenge for the Fork! Been telling people its all about the combos! Great post! This will help the noobs Im going up against :P (Friendly competition)
But dang! X9 combo point is insane!
Hello... n00b but addicted to
Hello... n00b but addicted to game... what are rift points? (i know likely a stupid question).
I think my highest combo was 18.
Rift points are those points
Rift points are those points in the upper right corner... the ones that track down when enemies get into the rift.
Also, are you sure that 18 was a combo? Sounds more like a Kill Streak to me. 18 would be pretty damned insane. Our best players in-studio have gotten up to 9.
Combos are how many traps are
Combos are how many traps are involved in the killing of the orc (Within a certain time limit).
You are talking about killstreaks. Which dont add into the point but do provide more spending coin!
Rift points are what you lose when an orc reaches the rift. You have so many at the start. Depending on how many you end with you get that point bonus!
Ok yeah... probably was a
Ok yeah... probably was a killstreak then. I don't know... I just have fun playing it but get pissed that I can't come close to top of leaderboard.
This seems like a game that you play all the way through up grade all your stuff then go back and play the levels again with the new toys.
x9???
X9 combo??? my max is 5. Im still missing something important about tattics... LOL
edit: my best combo are orcs in fire + slow trap + lateral pull trap+ axes + storm up. for x6, x7 x8 i don't have other extradimensional trap :P
I appologize for screwing up
I appologize for screwing up the scores SixOkay. >.<
I see that they are getting filtered out though after a while, so that is good.
On another note, I might suggest offloading the leaderboard calcs to the server. Never trust the client side.
Combo's
My highest combo was x4. Need to do more! I want x9 combo's!
Coin table?
Is there a similar list of for coins earned? I understand basic kills, but it seems there are more earned for traps than combat kills. Possibly other bonuses for combos, headshots, and kill streaks?
assuming 9 means 1 from each
assuming 9 means 1 from each trap/weapon hit the orc before he died....
do spicy mushrooms count as more than one if from a different type ie if 8 traps hit the mob then an orc then an ogre would that give a 10x multiplier? or 11 if you could get a gnoll in there as well
being lazy works!
all this time I thought I was a lazy bum not wanting to score combat kills but it seems that allowed me to get higher scores too because my traps and guardians would score the kills for me :D
what i do not understand are (in terms of point value)
- how much spell kills are worth
- how much wind belting mobs into lava is worth
- how much the lightning from the rift (that weaver upgrade) kills are worth
My Guess is all of those that
My Guess is all of those that you just said, count towards combat kills and worth 50 points(plus add to combos of course)
i woulda thought Lava/acid
i woulda thought Lava/acid being the kiler means it was a trap kill? otherwise your penalised or using a launcher or shove trap to hit stuf into it which feels wrong.
spells are definately combat
the lightning from the rift is the rift casting a spell ? so unsure there
i jsut want to know if headshots are worth more points wise.
Thanks For clarification!
Was wondering how much the combos were worth... x9 FTW! If you want to know some strats on how to top the leader boards check out my youtube channel or PM with any questions you might have.
