How to Prepare for the Halloween Spotlight Update Garden Tower Defense
The Halloween Spotlight update in Garden Tower Defense is just around the corner, and players have a lot to get ready for. This upcoming update will come in two parts, starting in three days and followed by another in five days.
While the first part is mostly geared toward new players and may feel underwhelming for veteran players, the second part promises the real action with Halloween-themed events, mystery traders, and valuable limited units. Here’s everything you need to know to get prepared.
Steps to Get Ready for the Update

1. Collect Seeds Efficiently
Seeds will be your main resource for obtaining the new limited units. If you grind consistently, you can aim for around 300–400k seeds before the update drops, which should be enough for the limited items. AFK chambers are a safe, non-banable method to earn seeds, while more advanced methods can increase your gains significantly.
2. Prepare Candy Corn
Candy Corn will be required for some limited Halloween units. Make sure to stock up as much as possible. Methods for grinding candy corn efficiently exist, and you should try to maximize your collection before the limited units go live.
3. Key Units to Focus On
- Bloom Nova: A high-DPS unit but with a limited range. Worth it if you want raw damage output.
- Nomadic Saw: Balanced damage and range, making it a strong choice for new and veteran players alike.
- Franken Sprout: Do not prioritize this unit initially. Wait until the more critical limited units are claimed before buying Franken Sprout.
4. Mystery Trader and Event Crates
The Halloween update will feature a mystery trader, similar to previous anime events. Part two of the update will bring Halloween-themed crates and a trader that can give you rare items. Make sure to check these regularly during the event window, which will last 30 days.
5. Leaderboards and Endless Challenges
Participating in endless leaderboards can be a great way to earn extra rewards. Focus on easier maps like the dojo if you’re aiming for collection units without intensive grinding. If you play with friends, you can earn double rewards in certain challenges.
6. Robux and Stock Management
For limited high-value units like Bloom Nova and Nomadic Saw, it may be worth spending a small amount of Robux to secure them. Units with only 10k stock will sell out quickly, so prioritize accordingly.
To get the most out of the Halloween Spotlight update, focus on grinding seeds and candy corn in advance. Keep an eye on the mystery trader, secure limited units strategically, and participate in leaderboard events to maximize rewards. With careful preparation, you can ensure your Garden Tower Defense setup is ready for the spooky festivities.
