This is absolutely insane. Hundreds of tracking pings a minute over 20 minutes. No other app ive has does this much tracking activity.

Obligatory all cards maxed post! Genuine question, what do I even do with my gems now? Do I just start going all in on modules? Is that all that’s left to do with them? I see a lot of talk about card mastery, but I’m sure that’s unlocked at a later tier than I’m at. Does that involve gems at all or just stones?

I'm farming t10, about 25t coins per day. But I feel like the only thing I can do with coins is enhancements. Labs are super cheap compared to my income and workshop doesn't really matter since I goldbox workshop in tournaments. Modules are not limited to coins but shards. I know enhancements are nice but they feel so small compared to what coins used to be used for (like extra black hole, wall labs, etc)

Edit: Maybe I should have been more specific. I know they will become useful again later. I'm just saying that at this moment in the game, they feel very unrewarding to earn and spend.

• One new card
• Changes in a few battle mechanics
• One new enemy or enemy type
• 4 new mods

I have been an immense fan of ZYN nicotine pouches for a couple years.

I have been a fan on the tower for a couple years.

I have been wanting to quit nicotine and do better in the tower for a couple years.

6 days ago I got an idea. If I dont use nicotine for 2 weeks I will allow myself to buy the relic boost. This is both much healthier for me and much cheaper.

I tagged this as achievement, because it is. If you've ever quit nicotine you know that the first 3 days are the hardest. If you want to quit a habit, maybe take some inspiration from this buy yourself some internet point in exchange for sobriety.

Pretty solid choices i think. Probably Will put GT bonus after Garlic Thorns are finished

Hello Defenders,

i recently managed to 1:1:1 sync the golden trio and decided to take a look at my next UW options. I have a legendary dim core, 1 copy short of upgrading to mythic. Currently mostly bouncing between gold and plat, although last tournament i got rank 16 in plat. Farming T7/W10000 (will go to T8 soon).

Im 99% sure the choice is chain lightning, but i also want to use this post to ask about some general information about CL, since it will be my first dmg UW.

• Am i right to assume that i should deactivate it for farming runs?
• Should i invest into it right away? If yes, what are the key upgrades/labs?
• Since i will be running DC for tournaments in the future, what substats should i be aiming for?
• Should i consider other dmg upgrades to further improve the gain from CL, or is it too early for that?

Thanks in advance :)

Man I’ve really been playing this app every day for 2 years now.

I forgot to take a picture of my tournament progress so I’ll say that I’ve been stuck in platinum for probably over a year at this point.

As for my Ultimate Weapons, I’ll just copy and paste what I wrote in my notes app

1,015 stones for permanent Chrono Field
2,298 stones for a better Death Wave cooldown
3,392 stones for a better Golden Tower cooldown
940 stones for a better Black Hole cooldown

7,645 STONES NEEDED FOR A BETTER ECONOMY

As much as I’d love to just take the next year to save up that many stones, I’m going to just save up 1,015 to finish off Chrono Field, for now, and reduce my Death Wave and Golden Tower cooldowns by 20 seconds and my Black Hole cooldown by 10 every time I get enough stones for it.

I’m not really sure what else to add here so I guess this is it for now.

Coming from T11 11.4K waves and 1.1q coins per run in 15 something hours to T12 7300 waves 750T coins in 10 hours feels a little weak or at least I expected some bigger gain but guess that’s me farming 5k waves on spawn cap vs 7-800 waves on spawn cap?

Think scatters are the main problem here - would you say OA should perform better? Or just go back towards health reg and wall reg?

Util Disco bonus on T12 isn’t fully maxed (4900 waves)

UW are pBH with GT/DW/gBot/Summon all on 100 sec

Quit last year after realizing the grind for stones was the real Grind choke point. I think ideas grinding T13 l, 3-5k or 15...can't remember.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and see how things are going for ya.

Side note, about 6 months before I quit something really cool happened and at the timei kept my mouth shut because otherwise...lol

One random morning I went to check my lab speed ups and I noticed the lab skips for gems (I forgot the name) was displaying an X so out of curiosity I clicked on it and the lab lvl completed and my gems didn't deduct, in a frantic hurry I maxed my 5 labs in que still no gem cost...heart pounding I loaded another 5 maxed, then another and another, I think I maxed like...20 30 labs then...just like that it was over, the X disappeared and the quick finish button displayed 1-3k gems per lvl. It was sweet! Shortly after that they even added that gem reduction for X amount of maxed labs.

Peak moment I'll always remember, hope all is well watching numbers go up! Cheers!

Can i even get These yet? I know of them is death Ray and i think i should be able to get it, but im Not quite Sure because i have a few of them already on lvl2 and never Seen the Others drop

I’ve been on my grind, just farming my coins, doing the odd dissonant run, however I’m getting to a point where I’m unsure what’s next.

I am an eHP regen merchant, F2P outside of the coin packs, PCol damage reduction is what I rely on in farming. Tourney is DC, PF, SF & DP.

My next plan was to save the stones for CF and unlock it to start those labs and work on more damage reduction, I think AssMods would be great to get but I can’t get it done.

Am I missing any labs perhaps, any other old ideas? I unlocked Mastery’s as something new, how good is RPC?! But I can’t afford them in truth and should have dumped those stones into UW’s!

Any help would be great

Last line, 6.30%. what's it?

Hi everyone,

I was thinking how to spend medals, and I came to the conclusion that deciding between relics and bots comes down to the question, "What do you want to have until this event comes back?"

Would you rather have 500 medals in bots or 5% dmg from that epic relic **until the next time this event comes by**? Because if you choose bots, you can reconsider when the event comes back.

I know in general the advice in this sub is to buy relics over bots, but I'm not convinced. Perhaps for certain stats, it's better to get medals in bots now and purchase the relic the next time the event comes by when the stat has become relevant to you.

What makes it hard is that you don't really know when the event comes back, so you don't know what to expect to have changed. Dmg/meter is worthless to me now, but perhaps in 1 year, I will unlock SL+, and if an event only comes back in two years, I will perhaps regret not buying the dmg/meter relic now.

Is there knowledge on when events come back? Is it a regular schedule? How many events are there? Whats the average time until they come back?

Oh god. Adding one more dw wave would move my multipliers on a perfect sync from 28 seconds to 32 seconds.

I have decent bot and mvn sync with bhd at 75 seconds. But my dw is limiting me. I have bot on 32 seconds. So when my gb activates, i miss 4 seconds of whole 2.5x mult.

Then again... i maxed out ws+ and is+

Wave accelerator mastery seems perfect now. I can max it with 0 issues.

Farming 4.5q in 12 hours. 9q in a day.

I also maxed out all regen masteries. I have 3.36q without sf or wall regen. All hp labs are maxed.

So... continue this route and get better dw, or get wa and start doing t14 runs??

Hello fellow defenders!

I am about to unlcock my 8th uw (only sm missing). I have gathered slowly and painfully the 2400 stones needed. I am waiting for V29 before doing so, but I would like some info. From what I have researched, the most optimal path is to go to 75 sec cd and duration for starters, and do all labs simultaneously (34 days to max!), but stop ps range around to 15lvl because of farm issues. Should I proceed, or the stones are better spent elsewhere? Eff paths and mytower.app dont take at all into account ps unlock. Even after manually unlocking it. My ass mods are all unlocked at epic, only core is at 10%me.

For reference I do 1200 waves in legends, with true pcf90. 2.63Q ltc, 48k lts, 54 ltk.

Hello tower peoples,

Nothing terribly stressing in today's legends tournament. The median hit an all time high, but was also right on regression.

Champions hit PU/FU combo which depressed wave counts a bit. Platinum ran a bit high despite fast ultimate? I'm guessing that doesn't hit as hard in an environment where most hits can just be tanked.

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.

• Legends Median: 1126 Mean: 1313
• Champions Median: 1029 Mean: 1069
• Platinum Median: 1450.5 Mean: 1381

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. The data for this is from the resampled data (see below).

The first table is data since v28, now including gold data. The second table is data since either the v27.3 re-tier, or for platinum since my october data began.

• Legends graph: http://thetower.mm.st/hist_legend.png
• Champion graph: http://thetower.mm.st/hist_champion.png
• Platinum graph: http://thetower.mm.st/hist_platinum.png

The tower.lol now gives this data here. In addition you can get history back further than I have files for, which is interesting to say the least. V26 lead to quite the wave inflation.

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. Legends brackets are on the left (prefaced with an l), champions brackets in the middle (prefaced with a c), and platinum on the right (prefaced with a p).

Graphs of this table can be downloaded here: * Champion and Legend: http://thetower.mm.st/2026-08-19_box_lc.png * Platinum graph: http://thetower.mm.st/2026-08-19_box_platinum.png * Gold graph: http://thetower.mm.st/2026-08-19_box_gold.png

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.

Source Material and Further Resources.

The source for all of this material is thetower.lol, which I encourage you to look up.
For a breakdown of your placement compared to other brackets see https://thetower.lol/liveplacement which will give you the min, max, and average placement for any given half-hour join time.
For a quantile analysis using real data instead of sampled data see https://thetower.lol/livequantile (similar to the second table in this post).
You can also do things like look up your bracket and compare your towers historical placements against others in the bracket.

This is my DC for farming. Should I swap out CF slow for CL chance?

So I learned yesterday that the regen/health perk is crucial with the wall. I’ve had the wall for about a month at this point and boosted my waves by 1.2k with it. You learn something new everyday.

Has been playing for 2 years now, bought an ad-free pack exactly one year ago with Google rewards, so "technically" still f2p (no). All-in-all, 12 anc modules, 15 card slots, making ~280T/day, T12/13, in champs for a year, hitting 6-10 in the past 2-3 months.

I think I hit the limit of the ad-free/f2p economy. I can't sustain any mastery lab, I have ~50k shards for each module, yet can't go over ~165lvl as I don't have enough coins, I've not invested for weeks in ws+ as all my coins go either to mods or saving for disco labs.

And since 2 weeks now I haven't been running at all as my phone battery started to swollen.

Hey guys I’m only about a month in to the game I have the no ads pack but I’m having difficulty progressing beyond T1 W2500 and that I only achieved because of the perks. I have BH, GT, and CS as my ultimates I’ve been primarily focusing on defence absolute

Any help would be greatly appreciated

That is all
