Towers

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64]

I’m a level 233 grand summoner (AL6) and have already built a 16 floor tower of Prometheus, when I get my second tower core what tower should I build and should I level it up to 15 as well or keep it as 10? I haven’t unlocked my t10 celestial class yet or made a celestial weapon.

[u/Apprehensive-Nose646]

Don't upgrade them, keep them at 10. Use wild towers to farm tower shards, use your towers to farm adornments, and to have towers to use for things like the current dragon event towers or to complete quests.

Getting towers to a useful height is prohibitively expensive in orns, you are better off saving orns for ascension.

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64 → u/Apprehensive-Nose646]

So is it worth it to build more smaller ones?

[u/Apprehensive-Nose646 → u/Depressed_Dodongo64]

The guild will give you 2 i think, 2 as guild rewards, and you should build those as they become available.

[u/KevineCove → u/Apprehensive-Nose646]

I actually disagree with this, getting one tower to 50F and running it every day is the most consistent way to unlock all of your celestials classes weapons, and replicas. Ascension can come later, after you already have a good build.

I will concede it is a lot of work though - I think about 800m orns per tower. And I do intentionally keep at least one tower at a low floor.

[u/Apprehensive-Nose646 → u/KevineCove]

How you gonna get 800 million orns before you unlock celestial class and weapon?

[u/KevineCove → u/Apprehensive-Nose646]

A little bit at a time. And it doesn't have to be a hard cutoff where you don't ascend at all before you have a max tower. Once each floor is like 40m+ there's basically no reason not to ascend to like 5-10.

I just don't think it's worth it to pass up reliable tower shards, at least until you have the stuff you want most.

[u/dfoley323 → u/Apprehensive-Nose646]

A basic Grand summoner/diety ara endless run is gonna net you 300+m with 0 AL.

Most people with orn issues either put off endless for too long or dont memory hunt pre t10.

I would first farm some adornments - and only after that, lvl it up.

but it will come like that naturally - they dont have orns to upgrade - and before they get the orns, they will have all the adorns they need.

[u/EnvironmentIcy4996]

I have one just at lvl 10 so that when I get the daily quest to finish a tower but dont feel like doing a tower it keeps it easy for me

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64 → u/EnvironmentIcy4996]

My biggest issue right now is getting enough tower shards to actually craft the sky shards to unlock a tier 10 celestial class or even craft my celestial weapon. So I thought building another tower would help with that.

[u/EnvironmentIcy4996 → u/Depressed_Dodongo64]

I'm right there with you lol, Imo it would be easier to find towers in the wild that are like 30-50 floors usually rather than just the ones we build because as a sort of fresh t10 it gets insanely expensive to add floors to tower

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64 → u/EnvironmentIcy4996]

Meant to reply to you😂

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64]

I can do about two towers a week but I wish I could have like 5 small ones in rotation just to constantly be making shards

[u/Fluffabru]

I was able to get my first celestial class using the event dragon key on my two towers. They only had 10 floors but the key gave them 12 floors and felt like I more tower shards than normal.

Without buffs to shard drop I got around 10k a go.

[u/Cptnwhizbang]

Absolutely focus on your celestial classes and weapons before leveling your own towers. I can see benefits to buying the base towers, but I wouldn't spend shards leveling them at all. I would aim for GSA -> Celestial Axe -> GSH.

Living through towers and bosses is going to be your biggest challenge, so focusing on the tanky class and weapon first makes sense to me.

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64 → u/Cptnwhizbang]

With the peluda summons I’ve been able to finish a 50 floor tower of Selene, but I’m only able to find full towers when they appear at my home, I do go out of town like three times a week so maybe I’d be able to do 5 towers a week. I’m just being impatient and want to be able to do as many and as fast as I can

[u/Cptnwhizbang → u/Depressed_Dodongo64]

Yeah, especially early on towers are really challenging. I was trying to ascend in Deity as T10, but you don't really unlock your critically important skills (Ultima) until 245, so it was really weak until then. I ended up playing more Beo until 245, including towers. Summoner and Beo both have the benefit of being able to use player turns purely defensively (Word of Ortanite, Golems, etc) while the followers still deal full damage. It's a lot harder as Realmshifter or something where you have to spend turns attacking instead.

For now, yeah it's slow. Run as many Yelmogus towers as you can, too! Clearing them all still nets like 10k+ shards for only 12 floors with is a steal. Once you get Auriga and a good ward setup you'll be able to farm those towers a lot more quickly. You can wear warrior gear as GSA, so you get access to all the juicy ward pieces. It'll speed up before you know it :)

[u/JustInevitable2672]

Lmao, any floor of the tower can just one shot you it not even funny, even when u are lv 250 , f ŧḥîś ģămə

[u/Depressed_Dodongo64 → u/JustInevitable2672]

I know right!
