What does the Tsunami word do?
TSUNAMI creates a wave that changes the immediate problem from crossing open ground to getting above the water. The gameplay guide describes a high-ground warning and towers with ladders as routes upward.
Its value as a choice depends on the island you can see. A wave is a poor surprise to create when you are far from a climbable structure or already trapped by another effect.
How to survive the wave
- Read the word warning and identify the nearest reachable elevated route.
- Start climbing before the wave reaches your position. Avoid spending that time crossing the island for a more distant tower.
- Leave room to move on the platform; watch for other players and active threats.
- If swept into the water, look for a way to swim back and climb out. The gameplay guide shows a breath countdown after a player is washed off.
These are positioning choices, not a promise that one tower stays safe through every combination of words.
What to check before typing Tsunami
- Your route: can you reach height from where you are now?
- The destination: is the platform already threatened by another effect?
- The next move: can you leave it if conditions change?
If reaching a platform is the problem you need to solve, Fly may fit your immediate goal better than adding water.
Tsunami with other hazards
Climbing helps address water, but it does not clear falling objects or threats already on the platform. Keep watching the whole scene after reaching height. If Meteor is also active, a high perch is still exposed to the sky.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tsunami affect the Writer?
Plan as though it can. Choosing the word is not a reason to remain on low ground.
How long does Tsunami last?
No dependable seconds count is available in the reviewed material. React to the warning and visible wave, rather than a timer from another event.
Is a low room a good escape route?
Prioritize height for a wave. Do not assume a low enclosed room provides the same protection as getting above the water.
