Tower floor 15 actually wasn't even the least bit difficult. I don't know if you've actually reached floor 15 or cleared it, so it's possible you're just speculating on it being hard. In fact, none of the floors in tower were hard by themselves (at least shouldn't be for vets). The only hard thing about the tower is the fact that it limits/locks hime selections. So it's actually that lock on himes that artificially inflates Tower difficulty, especially for those that may not have high hime counts to begin with. For anyone that buys all those monthly SSR-guaranteeds and has whaled up their hime counts, the Tower should basically just be a walk in the park.

As for AQ5s, I have no experience with them currently, but looking at it purely on paper, it seems more challenging than any one specific floor from the tower. Anyway, hopefully AQ5s pop in after today's maintenance like they should, and I get to experience them first-hand finally.
