Beginner's Guide: Your First Hour
What this page helps you decide: what to do in your first hour, and in what order, so nothing is wasted.
The House Tower Defense 2 (listed as The House TD 2 - Launch until late August) still labels itself early beta and does not publish an official manual. This route separates official game facts from community-observed lobby actions, gets a five-unit team into Floor 1, and avoids the bulk-sell mistake that can cost a new player a Shiny variant.
The safe way to clear inventory
Community video LXBpXLuTXNw by Rubenakayoshii shows two sale paths: the Dealer for deliberate manual sales and a Settings option for bulk duplicate cleanup. The speed advantage is real, but so is the reported risk of matching a Shiny variant - the video itself says it is unclear how the system treats duplicate Shinies. Lock, protect or individually inspect valuable copies before applying a broad rule; if your current build offers no protection control, use the Dealer.
What not to optimize in hour one
Do not build around a copied tier list, an assumed complete summon-rate table or a promised per-hour farm. The available unit performance sheet is a non-official community snapshot, and clear speed varies with team and placement. Your first useful benchmark is simpler: a stable Floor 1 clear with no leaks.
Step-by-Step
- Confirm you are in TD2: place 131367064230486 by DeadB Studios. The original The House TD has different codes, heroes and progression.
- Check the lobby reward surfaces before spending. Community guides report a Kitty group reward after joining DeadB Studios and a calendar reward once every 24 hours; use the prompts and current tooltip in your build as the final authority.
- Walk the lobby and locate Summoning, the Faction Center, the Dealer and the elevator before entering a run. The community wiki places the summoning area in the center hallway near the Skeleton; the Dealer stands on the right side of the lobby as you spawn.
- Equip up to five units in the bottom loadout bar. Cover early-wave damage, crowd control and boss damage before chasing a single faction-perfect team.
- Start with House Floor 1 at normal speed. Increase speed or enable auto-skip only after the same placement survives cleanly; a failed fast run earns less than a stable slower one. The Infinite Auto Replay pass added on 2026-09-12 automates repeats, not placement.
- Sell obvious duplicates manually through the Dealer first. A community inventory guide shows a faster duplicate-sale option in Settings, but bulk rules can include a Shiny copy if you do not protect or inspect it.
- After the first clear, choose which faction coin you actually need. A clear majority pays that faction; a 2+2 tie pays Omni according to the community faction guide.

Tips & Notes
- The official Roblox API sets the server cap at 12 players. Co-op can cover missing roles, but another player's carry does not prove your own placement is ready for the next room.
- Shiny is a unit variant prefix, not a seventh rarity. Inspect the full unit name before any manual or bulk sale.
FAQ
How many units can I equip in The House TD 2?
Community walkthroughs show a five-unit active loadout. Re-check the bottom loadout bar after updates because the game remains in early beta.
Should I bulk sell duplicate units?
Only after inspecting or protecting Shiny variants. The Settings route is faster, while the Dealer gives you safer one-by-one control.
What should I clear first?
Start with House Floor 1 at normal speed, prove that your placement holds, then increase speed for repeat runs.
