IMPORTANT

Except for the tasks above, there are also so-called Evaluation points.

To get the maximum of those, you need to:

Deal 1,000,000 Damage by a single unit in a single turn
Complete the fight in 1 turn
Have your current team with maximum (healed) HP

Total Score Points

Regular fight: 15,000 points
Boss fight: 40,000 points
Total: 15,000 x 4 + 40,000 = 100,000 points per floor

Newbie Advices

1. It is important to complete the tower at least once to start gaining resources for crafting gear.
2. Do NOT chase fulfilling property requirements as a very new player.

While it is important to have the best score possible, that task isn't as beneficial and requires a lot of investment in DPS and supports you may not have.

Instead, exploit free points from full HP and try to deal 1m damage with single-hit costumes such as Dream Bride Eclipse. Using your general team is enough for the start.

Do I need to fight it daily to obtain rewards?

No. Game mode offers both one-time clear and daily rewards. To obtain daily ones, go to any pack except Golden Colosseum and Glupy Diner and interact with the pet following you.

Tower of Desire¶

Often considered to be general content (until Floor 151+).

Height: 250 floors
Enemy Property: Enemies share one Property for 10 floors, then it changes.
Progression: To advance, you just need to win the battle. Completing the 2 optional challenges per floor grants extra resources.

Who to use for this tower?

You can use your general (Story) team until Floor 151.
Having the correct Property is advised but not necessarily needed.
Starting from Floor 151, you must utilize the Property damage bonus, meaning you need to use Diana and correct DPS for each stage.
You can experiment on your own or refer to Seji's Video Guide.

Tower of Salvation¶

Tower of Salvation is a seasonal roguelike game mode where you climb Floors of the Tower to obtain resources.

Unlock requirement: Clear Story Pack 9 "Iron Mask" (Normal Difficulty).
Levels: 10 Difficulties [ 10-30 floors each ]
Season Duration: 4 weeks with settlement period on last day (starting at 15:00 UTC).
Daily attempts: 3 per day.

Before starting your run, you're allowed to choose a difficulty and purchase some upgrades.
Difficulty decides how hard it will be to climb the Tower, while upgrades ease the process but require from you Night World Obsidian, earned in your other runs.

Difficulty info

What upgrades do I buy with Obsidian?

Prioritize Refresh Attempts Up, Starting SP Up, followed by Discount Probability Up and ATK/MATK, depending on the team you usually run. The rest is optional and/or not needed.

Image of Upgrade Menu

At the start of your run, you have to draft a team. To do that, you need to pick 1 of 4 offered costumes for each slot. If you do not like the choice and have rerolls available, you can refresh the offered costumes.

Image of Normal Selection screen

As for the fifth pick, you're allowed to take almost every costume from the game as Wildcard Selection, except collab characters you do not own.

Image of Wildcard Selection screen

How to properly pick your Wildcard

First, you need to understand what type of team you gathered. If you picked a full Magical damage type of team, there is very little sense to switch to Physical type.
Second, you need to balance the team. If you picked good supports, try to consider picking DPS and vice versa.
There may be rare cases where you get both supports and DPS in the first 4 picks. Then you can decide to bring in a Utility costume or add extra Support/DPS.

Some rules about costumes

Owned costumes in your account copy their dupes count (+0 ~ +5), Potential Liberation, and Engraving & Awakening.
Costumes DO NOT copy their gear equipped.
Brown Dust II Exclusive costumes can appear in both Normal and Wildcard Selections. As mentioned earlier, collab costumes cannot appear/be chosen unless you own them.
In the following Normal Selections,
- The first 2 choices for costumes are from your already owned characters, unless you obtained all possible costumes for characters
  (for example, having Angel of Destruction Teresse can give you Beachside Angel or Medical Club costumes in the first two slots).
- The last 2 choices are always new (for example, you will never see Teresse from those, as soon as you obtain any of her costumes).
That means it can be worth obtaining a different costume of the desired character to have a chance to obtain the needed costume sooner.

During your climb, you need to choose the path which can consist of the following activities:

Name	Icon	Description
Battle		Just a plain battle. As a reward, you receive Lost Silver and Costume Selection.
Elite Battle		More difficult battle compared to the one above. Often involves some mini-bosses. As a reward, you receive Lost Silver (more compared to Normal Battles) and Artifact Selection
Boss Battle		Necessary to fight each 10th floor, usually the hardest ones. As a reward, you receive Lost Silver (more compared to both Elite and Normal Battles) and high-grade Artifact Selection, as well as Refresh Attempt.
Artifact		Artifact Selection
Event		It offers you ways to obtain Lost Silver and various Artifacts, but with possible drawbacks.
Shop		Shop is a place to buy new artifacts, purchase or upgrade owned costumes, and heal your characters using Lost Silver. Always available on floors 11 and 21.

Interest System

On each new floor, you receive 5% of your current Lost Silver as interest. Do keep it in mind when choosing your path.

RNG Manipulation in ToS

In Tower of Salvation, RNG is fixed. That means you cannot restart the battle with the same setup to crit in case you did not.
However, to somehow change RNG, you can change DPS order, or inflict some extra damage such as knockback or basic attack from other characters.

Artifact System

Artifacts are items mostly giving buffs and either providing offensive or defensive capabilities.

There are 4 artifact rarities total: N (Common), R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), UR (Ultra Rare).
They can be acquired as a reward from Elite Battles, Artifacts activity, Events, or via purchasing in a Shop.
Some artifacts of low rarity can be combined to make one of better rarity, usually better compared to components. These artifacts will have a icon on the top left corner of the artifact card.
It is safe to click this icon to check the recipe for combining.
- To actually combine artifacts, head to the Sort tab and press the third tab on the left.
Image Guide
You cannot have artifact duplicates; however, after combining, it is possible to obtain component ones back naturally.
Artifact (de)buffs amount IS NOT counted towards (de)buff-dependent costumes such as New Hire Nebris or Onsen Swordfighter Blade. All (de)buffs for increasing the damage must come from other costumes, not artifacts.

It is important to read artifact abilities and understand what type of build you want to run.
You should be aware of combining artifacts, thus, in some cases, picking Magic-related artifacts when you run Physical team may have sense.

Event System

Events offer you a few choices, from 2 to 4. You have the ability to read about all of them and make a decision based on your needs.
Some choices have a chance of success. If you fail, a negative effect is usually displayed before it takes place.
Some artifacts increase the success chance for events.
For some events, it is just possible to skip the event completely ("Leave the room").
You can check all possible events here.

Shop System

Each shop offers you:

5 Artifacts of different rarities (usually, a higher chance of better ones the further you go).
- Each artifact has a fixed price, and it does not depend on difficulty or floor you're on.
4 Costumes of characters you own (whenever it is possible).
- If it's not (you own all costumes for all but 3 or fewer characters), new character costumes will be offered instead.
4 Costumes of characters you DO NOT own.
Ability to upgrade dupe of owned costumes (1000 per dupe of any character)
Ability to heal & revive your characters
Ability to refresh shop
- It has a base price of 1,000 Lost Silver and increases each time you do it in the same shop.

There is also a thing called a discount. It works for Artifacts and Costumes only, offering 50% off for some options.

Discount chance depends on difficulty.
There are upgrades and artifacts capable of increasing the chance.

Crystal Battle

If you complete Floor 30 on Difficulty 10, an extra Floor, 31, will be unlocked. It serves as a decisive factor for the leaderboard

You have 5 attack turns to deal as much damage to the Crystal in a 3x3 grid as possible.
Crystal takes no actions, but for the battle you can use survived characters after Floor 30 only.
Since the leaderboard doesn't give any necessary benefit, there is no point in chasing maximum damage. Focus on completing Tower instead.

Important Feature You Should REALLY Know

During the battles, you can replace characters for 2 SP each. The replaced character will not have cooldowns on any of the costumes
That means, you can refresh a character's skills for 4 SP.
Do keep in mind that it also removes all buffs applied before, so the best usage of this feature goes to utility/support characters.

So, I've read this all, but who to use?

It is really up to you. There are a few common possible tactics you can run.

High Chain team, which utilizes high hit count characters and revolves around chain mechanics.
Low Chain team, which utilizes the complete opposite and tries to be as low on chains as possible.

Both options are viable, as well as different Damage type you pick.
This game mode is really good to understand the basics of the battles, so do not hesitate to experiment yourself.
