RAID Boss Battle

!bossbattle // team raid vs. 1337haxxor Theo

When a boss battle starts, up to 5 players can join the raid team against Theo (up to 1000 HP). Battles run up to 15 turns — boss hits the whole team each round, team auto-attacks back, and each player gets one manual !hack nuke. Survivors earn 200–500 points and +5 permanent max HP.

PRO Tactics

New player? Start at email — !phish works at level 0 with no gear and has a 67% success rate. Grind it until you can afford better attacks.
Check !items before picking your next attack. A matching item bumps your success rate up to 67% and multiplies your payout by 1.5x — that's a massive swing.
Items in chat expire in 15 minutes. Watch for the drop announcement and type !grab <item name> fast.
The database location (levels 45–55) has no item boosts — it's pure RNG. Save it for when your level is well above the requirement to reduce the sting of failure streaks.
Server attacks at levels 60–70 have both high payouts and multiple item boosts. Metasploit alone covers !revshell, !root, and more — it's the most versatile item in the game.
Joining a boss battle with a small team (2–3 players) earns more points per person than a full 5-player squad if you survive. High risk, high reward.
Points never go below 0, but failed attacks at high levels can hurt. If you're on a bad streak, drop back to a lower-level location to stabilize your score.

S1 Season 1 // The Archive

TwitcHack ran on a flat leveling curve through Season 1: every 100 points = 1 level. With no scaling, the leaderboard inflated fast — top players hit 100,000+ levels, which made "level" a less meaningful number than "still here."

Season 2 launched with a progressive curve: each level requires more points than the last. Reaching level 5 still happens in your first session; reaching level 100 is now a real grind. The full curve: total points required for level N = 50 × N × (N − 1)

Existing levels were recomputed under the new curve, but every player who registered before the reset earned a permanent FOUNDER badge tied to their final Season 1 level. New players post-reset cannot earn one — these badges are forever.
