In Degen Defense, players protect their base from waves of enemies by summoning Guardians through a dice-rolling mechanic. The combination of luck (Random Guardians Summoning) and tactical decision-making makes every match unique. Players progress through increasingly difficult waves, unlock powerful units, and optimize their strategies to conquer challenging modes and events.
