Thread: Tower Megatread

I meant to do it a week ago.
And when that didn't happen, I meant to do it yesterday.
And when that didn't happen, I meant to do it today.
And when that didn't happen, I'll have to do it tomorrow since I absolutely won't be able to on Monday (where you also need to do your runs).

BUT MAKE IT YOURSELF TO SAVE ME THE BOTHER, GEEZ.

Okay, here is the important thing:

Again, I am being a lazy little cunt and relied upon the English wiki. If any abilities are missing, it's totally their fault and not mine, okay?

And here is my plan. The usual disclaimers, don't do what I do, do what is best for you, reference only, blaa blaa. Didn't put a lot of effort into this either, so mistakes are probable.

The most important thing to note here is floor 8. Everyone has Idun from the code (dunno what the code is today, check official discord for her), but the remaining Dark Defenders are: Cern (SR), Amaterasu (limited SSR) and Gaia (limited SSR). In other words, if you don't have Cern... you've lost 150 Medals. Learn2play scrub.

Also, F18 looks brutal yet again. Both F17 and F18 bosses just slap you with a 10k AoE right off the bat, but at least you can debuff F17 easily.


And finally, I am getting ahead of myself, but... well, this Tower of ours is Tower#11. Tower#15 which ran on DMM ~2 months ago did a lot of changes to the format:

->Open Spoiler<-

- Missions have been unified, every floor is now "Clear once" "Clear with elemental advantage only" "Clear with 5 characters alive" (notice! Even the first six floors now need Soul + 4 Hime minimum!)
- Because F15 and F20 no longer need double clears, the event is one day shorter. You still have no room for failure.
- Bonus for fewer turns removed. Newer players can turtle without worry.
- Rankings removed (also obviously means no more ranking rewards).
- Hime no longer go on a time based cooldown when used, instead, you can deploy the same Hime three times per Tower. This is great since you can just run your A-team against F18, F19 and F20 for example, and it makes the first floors far faster since you can just run random Rs for three floors in a row. Also, I can't wait for them to forget to reset Hime CDs since I have a feeling that's going to bug out.

As a result of these changes, the maximum amount of Medals you can earn has been reduced from 20850 to 11000. And they're still running Towers about every two months as before. In other words,
"Fuck you,
-- With Love,
The Devs"

Thk u Slashley! The spreadsheets always help me.

EDIT: Wow, they really toned down the Tower Events =/

Thank you Slashley!!


(Now if I can only just get into Tower to make some runs...)



Dejnov.

Are people still losing key and not being able to complete the run while locking the hime out? I am trying to decide if I should start my run today.

I don't know anything about losing keys?

The servers continue to be shit, so unless you happen to be playing during the few moments when shit works, you'll have trouble getting fights to complete. But keys shouldn't be lost, as long as you resume after every Nike? In other words, as long as you don't need timer-based debuffs and have extreme patience, doing them today should work out.

Then again if you have Medea, you can just wait and hope for a better day. Up to you.

->Open Spoiler<-

Well, yeah, they reduced amount of medals you can gain from tower, but, on other hand, they also added UE medals with which you too can buy (bricks or tower medals, don't remember which one exactly)

So, the second Light Tower has ended. For future reference, here are the winners:

Good work, everyone.

mlw set an unprecedented score (we've seen such scores before, but I think there was 50/100 extra Medals available by accident). Out of his 22 runs, ONE went past 4 turns. Jesus, dude. And with Dark too, an element known to be slow. He seems very much like a 110% Dark main though, being so far the only person to bring Dark into the top20 rankings of Skill Checker-kun events (the fifth one to be specific). Not that I should cut the guy short, he has been in top20 rankings in multiple elements over the years.

Personally, dropping 150 Medals just because I didn't have Cern was sad. That would've gotten me rank15. Also, I fucked up F19 horribly just with my own bad plays, turning an easy 6-7 turn kill into a 10 turn just-barely-not-wiped kill. So rank11 would've been plenty feasible, but it's pointless to mourn theoreticals. I am sure that lots of other people are in similar situations, after all.


Three ranked Towers remain. Next one is all the way in February, Wind Tower. For anyone wondering "wait, where is Light Tower?" welp, sorry, that's aaaaaall the way to June!
