Why Trade Token Farming Feels Harder After the Valentine Update
After the Valentine update, several event rotations changed. Arcade events now appear less often because they are replaced by Valentine, Radioactive, and other rotating events. This matters because the Arcade Event used to be one of the few free ways to earn Trade Tokens directly.
On top of that, the spawn machine system was indirectly nerfed. Duplication and upgrading defenses became harder, which lowered item values and made trading less profitable if you rely only on basic items. Because of this, players now need smarter methods instead of relying on one single system.
1. Arcade Event Tips to Still Get Trade Tokens
Even though Arcade Events spawn less often, they are still worth doing. Some tips to increase your chances:
- Stay active in the game instead of fully AFK
- Increase game volume so you notice event sounds
- Play continuously for 30–60 minutes
Many players report that Arcade Events can still appear randomly, sometimes shortly after wave-based events. While the ticket gain is not huge, Arcade pulls can still reward defenses or items that can be traded for Trade Tokens later.
2. Trading Strategy: What Items Are Worth Selling
Trading is now the main source of large Trade Token income:
- Infinity-tier items are always in demand
- Defense Lucky Blocks are highly sought after
- Celestial Lucky Blocks are also valuable and easier to obtain
If you are still early-game and only have basic defenses, focus on upgrading them step by step instead of trading immediately. Low-tier defenses usually sell for very cheap amounts.
3. Farming Lucky Blocks Through Events
Several random events are still very important:
- Brain Frenzy Event Participate fully and stay near the end zones to maximize drops.
- Dimensional Rift Event When the notification appears, go to the area quickly. These events often drop Lucky Blocks, even if they are not the highest tier.
You have two choices with Lucky Blocks:
- Trade them directly for Trade Tokens
- Open or upgrade them and aim for higher-tier results
Many players prefer holding Lucky Blocks until a new update drops, since new defenses can be added to the loot pool.
4. Upgrading Defenses for Better Trade Value
If you start with basic defenses like Balbito, you can still progress. Use the spawn machine recipe:
- 1 max-level basic defense
- 1 max-level uncommon defense
Repeat this process until you get a slightly better defense. Even small upgrades can increase trade value significantly. Mid-tier defenses can often sell for hundreds of Trade Tokens, especially after updates.
5. Colossal Defenses: Big Opportunity for Tokens
Owning at least one Colossal defense gives you a major advantage. Colossal defenses:
- Are highly demanded
- Have strong trade value
- Can be duplicated with full luck (with risk)
To duplicate a Colossal defense, you must:
- Fill luck to maximum
- Insert only the Colossal defense without extra items
There is a chance the size decreases, so this method is risky but can pay off.
6. Lucky Storm Method: High Risk, High Reward
The strongest method for huge Trade Token potential is Lucky Storm farming.
During Lucky Storm:
- Lightning can strike Lucky Blocks
- Struck Lucky Blocks can evolve into Infinity Lucky Blocks
Important tips:
- Rotate between different Lucky Blocks
- Do not hold only one block during the entire storm
- Celestial Lucky Blocks often feel more consistent for many players
Infinity Lucky Blocks are extremely valuable and can be traded for massive amounts of Trade Tokens or used for top-tier rewards.
7. Duplicating Lucky Blocks Efficiently
You can duplicate Lucky Blocks using the Arcade machine with full luck.
Basic recipe:
- 1 Lucky Block you want to duplicate
- 2 Lucky Blocks of the tier below
Examples:
- Defense Lucky Block → use 2 Celestial Lucky Blocks
- Celestial Lucky Block → use 2 Secret Lucky Blocks
This helps you stockpile Lucky Blocks and increases your chances during Lucky Storm events.
After the Valentine update, getting Trade Tokens in Escape Tsunami For Brainrots requires patience, planning, and smart trading. Arcade Events are no longer the main source, but Lucky Blocks, defense upgrades, and Infinity-tier items now dominate the economy. By combining event farming, careful upgrading, and Lucky Storm timing, collecting thousands of Trade Tokens is still very achievable, even without spending anything.
