CNSD Reborn guides
Playtest walkthroughs for dummy combat, sieges, and badge hunts.
This hub is the map of every tutorial on the wiki. CNSD Reborn mixes 15-player wave defense with battlegrounds melee: four-hit punch strings, a block, a sprint, shiftlock, and an Awaken burst on G. Players who treat it like a pure tower game get flattened. Players who treat it like a 1v1 battleground ignore the wave economy and miss the Playtester badge. The guides below are written for the public playtest that opened on 13 August 2026, while the roster is still filling in.
Start here
If you just clicked Play, open the beginner guide. It covers lobby spawn, the starter pack (sword, laser gun, Bloxy Cola), and why buying the first shiny dummy in the shop is usually a trap. Then print the controls in your head: LMB melee, F block, G Awaken, Left Shift sprint, Ctrl or Alt for shiftlock. Those five binds are copied from the official Roblox description and they will not change without a patch note on the updates hub.
Combat and progression
Awaken is the skill people search after they die with the meter full. The how to Awaken page explains the G key, the hold-player-icon method, and why you should not dump the burst into empty space. The skill tree page covers the leaked point system: one point per level, spent on extra skills or raw stats, with a warning that respecs may be limited until Update #1.
If your only goal this week is the Playtester badge, skip straight to Wave 25 before Update #1. That badge is currently listed at about 5.8% rarity on the Roblox page, which means most servers wipe long before the night shift of noobs. The guide is about economy, revive discipline, and which dummy classes actually hold a lane.
Two extra How-to pages sit next to those: the starter pack (sword, laser gun, Bloxy Cola on spawn) and how to get titans (Dummy Titan first, Clock morphs later). Enemy names and boss leaks live on the enemy roster.
How these tutorials were built
We watched real footage, not stock. The beginner page embeds a full playtest session. Controls and skill-tree pages use DaNotSebee and community sneak peeks. Titan shopping still leans on Cosmic’s original “which titan should you buy” breakdown because Reborn has not published a new price sheet — we label that footage as original-game context so you do not confuse Clock Titan meta with the current playtest shop. Every guide page carries at most one video, placed mid-article, click-to-load.
Cross-links you will need mid-run
- Shop decisions: starter tier list and titan tier list.
- Roster names: dummy class and titan roster.
- Codes when they exist: codes hub.
- Scripts you should probably not run: scripts hub.
- Combo reminder overlay: combo sheet.
New How-to pages will appear when sebe ships a mechanic worth a thousand words. Until then, do not wait for a perfect wiki page to finish a wave. Load in, block the first grab, and spend coins on a dummy that is not the default punch bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers players ask during the playtest.
Which guide should a brand-new player open?
The beginner guide, then controls. Save titan shopping for after you survive a handful of waves.
Do these guides still apply after Update #1?
Binds from the Roblox description should hold. Badge timing, shop prices, and skill-tree costs will be patched on the updates hub.
Why is there original CNSD footage on some pages?
Reborn is a rework. Some titan and badge lessons still transfer, and we label that footage so you know which era you are watching.
Can I request a How-to page?
If a mechanic has a real video and a search query (how to Awaken, how to reach Wave 25), it belongs here. We will not invent mechanics sebe has not shown.
