What does a map contain

Each map is an instance laid out like an arena containing lanes leading to objectives which will be required to defend.

Lanes

This is how most enemies travels within a map. Each lane starts from an enemy spawner and ends where an objective is. While most lanes are separated to a singular path, some lanes will converge creating a chokepoint. There are two types of enemy lanes - a ground lane for most regular enemies and a flyer lane for flying-type enemies.

Objectives

Objectives are the main thing to defend in every map of Dungeon Defenders 2. Each core has a specific amount of health, so they can be damaged by enemies. There are two types of objectives - the main core (game over when destroyed) and a sub-objective (opening new lanes or disabling environmental traps when destroyed). Maps can either contain only main cores or both types of objectives.
