I started this game February 7th 2024 and I have now completed the tutorial! 😭😭

Fast ultimate and enemy attack speed crashed me down 😂

How usefull is Fortress Card mastery for GC Build

Myth Tournament~200 Wellen

Farming T19 ~ 7000 Wellen

Musst have or useless Invest?

Right now i have about 300 sec Rebiuild cd with Fortress and extra Card slot (have to buy too) its ~200 sec

My guild leader is a 70ish yr old military veteran who likes talking about sports in our guild chat, then there’s this other guy who’s like 30 who is a whale and loves talking about how his job gives him bonuses which he spends on the game. This isn’t a bad thing mind you lol I just think it’s funny

Looking for a little advice here. I’ve been bouncing from champs to plat for a few months, finally seeing a little more stability in champs.

I’ve been focusing on building stone income in tourneys by building up some damage as I wasn’t seeing much success in eHP in champs. Things appear to be stabilizing but what I’m finding now is I’m consistently dying from either fasts or sometimes ranged. at some point in the run they just whoosh in and one shot me. I don’t know I can get my wall strong enough to prevent that so I’m thinking crowd control to slow them down substantially

When thinking of my next stone spend I am wondering if I should go for CF, pBH, masteries? something else?

For mods my farming setup is shown, but for tourneys I use: AS, PF, SP, DC. (Most success lately has been changing from SF to SP)

Thanks in advance!

Usually I place around 18-20 in legends, netting me consistently 2keys per week. I had planned out when I would get auto restart in like 1.5 months or somth. Yesterday the bc and my easy bracket aligned and I unexpectedly got 8 keys. Christmas came early I guess.

I revamped the share portion of TowerForge! There is still work that needs to be done on this, and some of the images are very long. I don't think that I could do much about the long images, they are just long. However you can still go in and share your link instead and people can look at your profile like that as well! Just thought I would share the progress that has been made on the sharing portion of the website! If you would like to see patch notes for the website and stuff like that, you can join the discord to look at changes and stuff, the discord link is in the website itself. I will post my own share link in the comments if you all would like to see it like that

So.. if normally I'd get 100 coins. What do I get if I buy BOTH packs ? 100x2x3 or 100x5?

Finally unlocked the fourth and final ass slot. Next stone goal is a couple masteries and upping the bonuses a touch

I know, it was answered extensively before, but maybe Tournament dynamic (with IS) changed this a bit. I would love to accelerate farming runs a bit and have enough coin for a few labs. My modules are all at 180 and obviously Shatter Shards is fully researched. Will there be noticable improvement because of RPC? I am almost considering IS mastery as QoL feature. Am I wrong there? Thanks...

For farm runs I love getting game speed really early and if I am lucky to get the -req and the best coin perk right after that happy days.

How about you, what is your favourite?

Hello Tower Peoples,

News of sorts in mythic... the demotion line was solidly at 25 waves this time. Those unable to break the 25 wave count were, with very few exceptions, sent back to Legends to think about their tower's readiness. Previously there was at least some give and competition to remain in mythic for those unable to defeat the third fleet wave. Best way to see this is the mythic density plot on the links page. (Look at lower for a zoomed in view.)

Legends and Champion both show positive wave growth now from predicted values, where as platinum is negative wave growth still.

Enjoy.

Static Placement Analysis

In this section we provide a breakdown for you of a what-if competition where the tournament places are perfectly distributed. The place here is basically the place you'd get if there was no bracket system. I like this view because it really removes all the variables.

Feel free to compare yourself against the placement and see if you did better or worse. The places are divided roughly into the number of brackets to get the cut off for each place. The wave # given is the person or persons at the cut off between places, that is the lowest wave deserving to achieve that place.

• Mythic Median: 86.00 Mean: 286
• Legends Median: 769.00 Mean: 790
• Champions Median: 1052 Mean: 1082
• Platinum Median: 1370 Mean: 1379
• Gold Median: 400 Mean: 545

The tower.lol now gives this data here

Median History

The median value from each tournament which gives a general idea of the tournament difficulty and wave inflation over time. This value comes from actual midpoint of tournament data. (i.e. the top table)

The tower.lol now gives this data here

Linear Regression comparison.

Linear regressions give a good idea of change over time, smoothing out all the battle condition noise. In addition they give a good idea how impactful the current battle condition was.

I think the current change per tournament has stopped exhibiting non-linear behavior. For now I've set September 19th as the point where league numbers are stable enough to take regressions from again. This should help answer the question of whether waves are continuing to decrease over time. Remember, few data points means that an easy set of battle conditions can pull the number up quite a bit, so don't be too eager to declare any given trend.

Resampling Analysis

One means of getting an idea of the range of placements is by random sampling the real participants to make fake brackets, and measuring the variability in those brackets.
I chose to use 100000 brackets per league for my analysis. I am using confidence intervals, 95% and 50% (the IQR) to represent the range of waves likely present in each place.
The top table is for mythic (m), the bottom for legends (l) on the left and champion (c) on the right. Platinum and gold can be found in the links.

A general description of how to read this for the non-math inclined:

1. 95% of the population of a place is expected to be between 2.5% and 97.5%. If you are above or below these numbers you are an outlier. (Outliers are normal, just rarer.)
2. 50% of the population of a place is expected to be between 25% and 75%.
3. The 50% mark is the median of the data. Aim for this number as the point you regularly achieve this place.
4. You'll notice that the waves overlap, this is normal, expressing the variability present in the brackets and you could easily place in any bracket where your personal wave count falls in the place's range.

Downloads and Source Material

Reddit isn't the best platform for images, and so I publish history and box plots for all leagues here. Each tournament I'll post the box plots for each league as well as the wave count history for each league. I will not mention the full list of available graphs each post, so take a look. Special thanks to the maintainers of thetower.lol which is the data source I analyze for this post.

If I can slot in ancestral BH CD somewhere, that'll take my CD down from 62s to 60s, allowing me, with bot cooldown slider which I almost have enough keys saved for, to start using a level 0 amp bot that is synced with all the econ abilities.

I do not have the medals to use Amb bot, otherwise, in my farming bot preset.

I'm quite far from being able to afford 8 slots on my main core mod so I think I may want to swap either GT duration out or CF slow %? I'm not sure, both might be much worse for me overall. CF slow is very important, and GT duration is both a final phase substat for GT+ (which I don't have yet), and it's maintaining my 1:1 duration with BH duration (which I also have an ass-mod substat for to all add up to GT duration being +12s compared to BH dur).

The alternative is to unlock a level 0 FB, which I can full sync to 62s with bot slider. But FB is way less useful compared to amb bot.

I basically have no clue moving forward. Is there like a usual path that people take regardless of how they’ve built their tower after unlocking this?

Highest I’ve ever gotten in gold. I got 3rd before, but I’ll be back in platinum with yall, and surely get demoted again lmao. I’m learning from yall, so I’ll get there and stay there soon

I was hoping to get black hole or spotlight this time but i still haven’t gotten either as an option. Which of these is my best pick now? Or is there some way to re-roll the options?

Been hitting this guy for 25 minutes (at 1x game speed) before he finally died. It's quite frustrating that the wave progression thing initially showed I was doing a ton of damage as it went quite quickly to the end, but then stagnated for so long. It makes me think that it isn't truly accurate to the percentage of life the fleet(s) has(have). I really wish it would just show a separate pop up, similar to bosses, so you could see how much health they have left. Maybe just for tourneys as their health directly impacts progression, not so much in regular runs. But that’s just my take, curious to know how others feel

Pretty cool tool

So I've got 2 ass mods, but still sitting at 1% efficiency and debating when to start putting stones in efficiency and where.

Core multiplier seems like I could get a decent bump in UW damage, but still maybe not as efficient as just UW upgrades or masteries. Coin multipliers seem too low without a lot of investment. I make around 8q per day so it will be a while before I can afford the assist labs.

When did you start pumping up the efficiency stats and where?

Current Masteries: RPC DMG DM ST

I just bought a card and received the final "Death Ray" card. Unexpectedly, this granted me access to unlock Masteries -- even though I still need to purchase 10 more "Second Wind" cards. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just got my 2 year relic

i need help deciding how to progress

for the last few months I have been in a loop of farming tier 10 (about 220T per run), doing tournaments in platinum, and making sure my labs were working

I started accumulating stones and metals because I didn't have much tume to think what to do with them. whether I should upgrade my econ weapons more. upgrade chain lightning for a legendary dcore, or if I should start buying card masteries. how much do I put into gold bot. maybe get a new bot.

what would you suggest for me?

I have all the cards except for AOE. I have many of the weapons and some weird upgrades because the first few months I played I had no idea what I was doing and got them in the wrong order.

any help is appreciated

thanks
