==Objectives==* '''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 Objectives enemy lanes - a ground lane for Heroes to be concerned with. The Main Objectives or Main Cores are defense points on maps that, if destroyed, end the current map. The Sub Objectives or Sub Cores are defense points on maps that, if destroyed, open up most regular enemies and a new spawn point flyer lane for [[Enemies]] in the next waveflying-type enemies.
==Main Objective Mechanics==[[File:Red Shield.png|thumb|right]]*Main '''Objectives can be identified by the spinning red trimmed yellow shield above them.'''*Main :Objectives are marked on the mini-main thing to defend in every map with a red trimmed yellow Shield Icon.[[File:Red Shield Iconof Dungeon Defenders 2.png]]*Main Objectives have Each core has a Health Pool. This gets fully healed at the start specific amount of each build phase. If the Health Pool is reduced to 0health, the Main Objective is destroyedso they can be damaged by enemies.*The players lose if There are two types of objectives - the Main Objective is main core (game over when destroyed.*Main Objectives are fixed for each map ) and wont changea sub-objective (opening new lanes or disabling environmental traps when destroyed).*Main Objectives have the highest target priority for the [[Aggression]] Maps can either contain only main cores or both types of nearby [[Enemies]]objectives.
==Sub Objective Mechanics==[[File:Grey Shield.png|thumb|right]]*Sub Objectives can be identified by the spinning Grey shield above them.'''Environmental Traps'''*Sub Objectives are marked on the mini-map with a Grey Shield Icon.[[File:Grey Shield Icon.png]]*Sub Objectives have a Health Pool. This gets fully healed at the start of each build phase. If the Health Pool is reduced to 0, the Sub Objective is destroyed.*The Wave after a Sub Objective is destroyed will spawn [[Enemies]] from an additional spawn point.*Having a Sub Objective get destroyed does not end the map.*[[Billboard|Billboards]] for these additional spawn points do not appear until the connected Sub Objective is destroyed.*Sub Objectives and the extra spawn points they open are fixed for each map and wont change.*Sub Objectives have the highest target priority for the [[Aggression]] of nearby [[Enemies]]*Keeping Sub Objectives alive til the end of the map will yield bonus experience.
