Factions Guide: All 5 Plus Omni
What this page helps you decide: which faction to grind first, and how to avoid getting paid in Omni coins by accident.
Community faction guides document five main factions - Undead, Paranormal, Demon, Military and Holy - plus Omni. Your active loadout composition controls which faction coins a run pays, so count the units before you queue. The payout rules below come from one community guide, not an official developer manual, and exact Faction Center costs and buff values remain unverified.
Payout rule in one sentence
The community rule is 'unique highest faction count wins; a tie for highest becomes Omni.' That is a plurality rule, not a strict more-than-half majority. WRUIZONOT8o demonstrates 2+1+1+1 paying the two-unit faction and 2+2 paying Omni.
Why most players think they need three matching units
The three-unit belief comes from how the payout looks in a standard five-slot loadout: three of one faction is the smallest count that is guaranteed to beat every other faction no matter how the remaining two slots fall. That makes it a safe habit, not a rule. The evidence on this page shows the actual condition is weaker - a 2+1+1+1 board already pays the two-unit faction, because two beats one outright. The distinction matters when you are short on a faction: in The House TD 2 you do not need to hold a slot empty waiting for a third matching unit, you only need one faction to stand alone at the top. The one board that does break is 2+2+1, where two factions tie for highest and the payout becomes Omni coins.
What the Faction Center evidence proves
Community video RrxOc_xUw9E identifies five main factions, Omni and a Faction Center containing upgrades, buffs, troops and other rewards. It supports choosing progression around the units you use. It does not give us a stable, complete table of every level cost and buff, so those numbers stay out until independently captured.
Step-by-Step
- Count the five main factions: Undead, Paranormal, Demon, Military and Holy. Community guides also show Omni units and Omni coin payouts.
- A unique highest count wins even without three matching units. In a 2+1+1+1 five-unit loadout, the faction with two units receives the payout according to WRUIZONOT8o.
- A 2+2 tie has no unique leader and pays Omni coins in the same community guide. Check all equipped slots, not just the first four, before assuming a tie.
- Use the Faction Center to inspect upgrades, buffs, troops and rewards. RrxOc_xUw9E shows those categories, but its public description does not publish the exact cost or buff number for every level.
- Progress the faction represented by the units you actually deploy most often. A theoretical faction bonus is wasted if forcing the majority removes the AOE, beam or boss-damage role your run needs.
- Re-read the current Faction Center tooltip after balance updates. This page preserves the community rule set checked September 16, 2026; it does not freeze an early-beta value forever.
Data Tables
| Five-slot composition | Reported payout | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Demon + 2 Holy | Demon | Demon has the unique highest count |
| 2 Demon + 1 Undead + 1 Holy + 1 Military | Demon | Two is still uniquely highest |
| 2 Demon + 2 Holy + 1 Omni/other | Omni | The leading main factions are tied |
| 3 Holy + 1 Demon + 1 Undead | Holy | Holy has the unique highest count |

Tips & Notes
- Write the five faction labels beside your loadout before a long farm. The 2+1+1+1 case is easy to misread as no majority even though one faction is still uniquely highest.
- Do not quote an exact Faction Center price or buff from this page: the available public evidence confirms categories and strategy, not a complete current numeric tree.
FAQ
Does a faction need three of five units to earn coins?
Not under the community rule shown in WRUIZONOT8o. A 2+1+1+1 composition still pays the faction with two because it is uniquely highest.
When do I earn Omni coins?
The same guide shows a tie for the highest faction count, such as 2+2, resolving to Omni. Omni units also exist, but a complete developer rulebook has not been published.
What are the exact Faction Center upgrade costs?
They are not reliably documented in the public evidence used here. Check the current Faction Center UI rather than planning around an undated copied number.
