Faction Coins: The Majority Rule
What this page helps you decide: how to build your loadout so the run pays out the faction currency you actually need
Which faction coins you earn is decided entirely by your loadout, and the rule is simple enough to aim at deliberately: the faction with the most units on your team pays out. Omni works differently and catches people out. Since a single unit swap can change which currency an entire run produces, this is worth checking before every match.
Majority takes it
At the end of a match, the coins you receive belong to whichever faction has the most units in your loadout. Two Demon units alongside one Undead, one Paranormal and one Military pays Demon coins, because two beats every other count. Three Holy and two Demon pays Holy. Nothing about unit strength, damage dealt or which unit you actually used enters into it - only the count. That makes the currency you earn something you choose rather than something that happens to you, and it means an otherwise irrelevant fifth unit can be picked purely to swing the majority.
Omni requires an exact tie, not the absence of a majority
Omni coins are earned when your team is evenly split between two factions - two Paranormal and two Undead, for instance. This is the part that surprises people, because it means Omni is a target you build for rather than a fallback that happens when nothing dominates. It also means an Omni-seeking loadout is fragile: adding a fifth unit from either side breaks the tie and converts the whole run to that faction coins. If you want Omni, count twice before starting, and remember that the tie-breaking unit is doing more work for your economy than for your defence.
Aim your grind at the faction you actually use
The Faction Center pays out upgrades and buffs per faction, and progressing the one your main team belongs to compounds: the buffs improve the units you were going to field anyway. Grinding a faction you rarely play produces upgrades you rarely benefit from. The exception is worth knowing - some faction rewards are individual player benefits rather than team buffs, so spreading progress eventually unlocks things that apply regardless of loadout. The sensible order is to push your main faction until its team-specific buffs are in hand, then broaden.
Check the loadout, not the memory
The most common way to waste a run is to change your team for a difficult room and forget it changed your payout. Swapping one Demon unit for a stronger Holy one to clear a boss can silently move the majority, so you finish the run with coins for a tree you were not grinding. Nothing warns you about this because nothing has gone wrong from the game point of view. Making the check a habit before pressing start costs a few seconds; noticing afterwards costs the run.
Step-by-Step
- Count the factions in your loadout before starting a run.
- The faction with the most units decides which coins you earn.
- For Omni coins, split your team evenly between exactly two factions.
- Adding one more unit to either side of an even split cancels Omni.
- Grind the faction your main team belongs to first, then broaden.

| 3 Holy, 2 Demon | Holy | Holy is the majority |
| 2 Paranormal, 2 Undead | Omni | An exact even split between two factions |
| 3 Paranormal, 2 Undead | Paranormal | The split is no longer even |

Tips & Notes
