Thread: [Event 66] Tower of Malice vs Dysnomia Philos

A 171 rank drop doesn't seem like it's a whole lot for sitting out an entire battle, so maybe by this point there really are only a few hundred able to clear floors.

So that mean only less than 350 accounts make it to floor 10 at day 5 . Since most people who can do floor 10 and want to go futher already did it yesterday for final day off cooldown, so can we assume that floor 11-12 will have a spot at top 1000 or even 500 ranking?
About the bottom, around 700 more people join the battle after 2 day.

Not necessarily. I took care of floors 10-12 this morning easily. I only held off because I couldn't do the defense-type quest until today. I can't be the only one in this boat, but it would be hard to say how many others suffered the same set-back. There will also be people doing floors in large batches on certain days.

Most people doing floors in large batches doing it on day 5 and final day and may be day 2 too for full hime recover, the one you used today will not available for the last day, but it only 1 more team so if you have enough hime it doesn't master

Done with the event I guess. Got killed on floor 9 once and I'm about to be killed in 10th using my heavy hitters, sigh. I should have played yesterday, didn't pay attention at all.

What should I do with the keys left? To put it on perspective, my stronger Kamis after my main thunder team are Lv50 wind. :/

If you have nothing to do with the leftover keys, just keep doing the last floor you failed over and over until it done, if you still have water team, using that team to finished for water mission (but remember the second mission net you more medals so keep it priority)

Honestly, most people gave up on the tower by floor 8 looking at a ton of comments from my vids, here, and my union.

I'm gonna keep going though cause even though my water teams should get smashed by floor 11 onwards (I'm amazed a 50% assault and 50% defender grid got so far), I still got my fire and my even stronger light grids.

Elemental advantage clears honestly make up less than 1/3rd of the mission medals. You can still net a nice chunk going off-element... so I'd just do elemental advantage until your advantage team starts getting beat up, then throw in your strongest provided they aren't the disadvantage element

wait, u have vid?

well, 10th floor is what most f2p (including me) will stop, i suppose

I have a good Water grid, but I just don't have enough Water kamihime. I made it up to floor 10 with no real issues, but I can't field more than 2 or so Guild Order-level teams; even in total, I can't field more than 4 full teams. Given that elemental disadvantage probably makes my Wind team non-viable, I don't think I'll get past floor 14. That this is becoming a spending competition--yet another cynical way to push players to spend on the Gacha system--is pretty discouraging.

At the end, if it's not the grid, it's the lack of kamis. Not counting wind kamis -which for some reason I kept getting on a Kirin account-, I also don't have enough kamis to make 4 strong teams, leaving aside the level and power of the grids. With my thunder kamis locked and my light team obliterated on the first stage of 11 floor, I don't think I have enough kamis to even zerg rush the floor.

And can confirm, being a spending competition is the reason to live for gachas, especially ones with a ranked ladder. Though this is still better than others, at least you can pay time to get strong. I said this coming from a mmo with it's own whale eden and a P2W wall so big it was amusing to see.

I don't see why this would courage spending. You yourself mentioned that the rewards aren't so important before. I don't see anyone whaling only to defeat tower.
That said, as we proceed in time, tower will get easier team building wise since our pools constantly increase. And while it's hard to come up with teams that could each defeat the floor you send them to, with my water hime pool consisting of 5 SSR, 11 SR & 10 R, I do plan to defeat tower with all missions cleared. I might flub somewhere, but that's either due to bad RNG or me screwing up something. The teams I came up with + my grid backing them up should be able to defeat each floor.
