Clearing the SpongeBob Tower Defense challenges by The Takeover

The challenges you'll have to complete are:
- Noob: Survive 25 waves to send the Bubble Poppin' Boys a message.
- Pro: Endure 50 waves to push the Bubble Poppin' Boys off the streets.
- Master: Overcome 50 tough waves to shatter the Bubble Poppin' Boys' grip.
- Extreme: Conquer 50 brutal waves to reclaim New Kelp City... before an even greater menace rises...
In the first challenge, enduring 25 waves might feel easy. Start by placing your first unit on a turn or corner to maximize its hit radius. Kelp Dollars are scattered throughout the map and respawn; remember to collect them. Keep placing different units and upgrading them. On clearing the first challenge, you'll receive two Creds and several other rewards.
The Pro challenge asks you to endure 50 Bubble Poppin' Boys waves. You'll get a new loadout this time, with better card levels and rarity. Placing your cards well and continuously upgrading them would smoothen the path to victory, and you'll receive six Creds.
Overcoming 50 tough waves is the Master challenge in the game. You'll get a fresh loadout with new and more powerful units. These units have different use cases and can benefit you in clearing waves faster. On passing, 14 Creds will be awarded to you.
Spawning into the Extreme challenge, you'll see a burning map with a new unit loadout. Place all your units wisely and keep upgrading them. Meteors will keep falling on the map, stunning you and damaging your units. Keep placing more and more units to ensure more damage against the waves of enemies. You'll get 16 Creds for your efforts.
