## Raid Coins

The number of Raid Coins earned increases with the number of cleared waves. The amount of coins earned for a raid with $wave$ waves cleared is given by: $\text{Raid Coins} = \begin{cases} wave * \left \lfloor 2 + \left ( wave * 0.25 \right ) \right \rfloor * \left \lfloor \frac{wave}{15} + 1 \right \rfloor * 3 & \text{if }wave \ge 3 \\ 0 & \text{if }wave \le 2 \end{cases}$

The cost of skipping waves also increases with the number of waves, where the cost of skipping wave number $wave$ is given by: $\text{Skip Cost} = \left \lfloor \left ( wave + 1 \right ) \times 100 \times \left ( 1 - \text{Skip Cost Reduction} \right ) \right \rfloor$

Where Skip Cost Reduction is 0.01 multiplied by the number of times the "Reduce Wave Skip Cost" upgrade has been purchased.

The quantity of Ammo offered is a random amount between 1 + Raid Shop Multiplier and max quantity, where the offered amount increases with the number of cleared waves and your multiplier that you can increase in the raid shop, by: $\text{Ammo Max} = ((wave * 25)* RaidShopMultiplier)+1$
