The new Tremor and Darkness Towers aren’t just stat checks — they punish bad team setups and force you to actually think about survivability, positioning, and consistency.
If you went in blind and got wiped early, you’re not alone. Here’s how to approach both towers properly so you can clear them without throwing runs.
New Towers
Before talking strategy, you need to understand why these towers feel harder.
Tremor Tower Mechanics
- Enemy team has 6 cards
- A Warlord unit spawns in the backline
- That unit gets:
- Temporary immunity (multi-turn)
- Enemies have:
- Dodge chance on first attacks
- Your team:
- Takes extra damage under 40% HP
What This Means
- You can’t burst immediately
- Early attacks may miss
- Low HP = dangerous state
This tower punishes aggressive, low-survivability teams.
Darkness Tower
Even though it’s locked early for most players, it’s clear from scaling:
- Higher stats
- More punishing mechanics
- Likely stronger sustain and counter effects
If Tremor feels manageable, Darkness is where builds start to break.
Best Team Strategy
1. Prioritize Survivability Over Raw Damage
Glass cannon teams struggle here.
You need:
- Sustain
- Healing
- Revive or damage mitigation
Example:
- Units with self-heal or counter sustain perform extremely well
2. Use Counter-Based or Reactive Units
Some of the strongest performances come from:
- Counter attackers
- Passive damage units
Why:
- They bypass dodge RNG
- They deal damage even when you’re not actively attacking
3. Avoid Weak Slots (Dead Weight Units)
If a unit:
- Doesn’t deal damage
- Doesn’t support
- Doesn’t survive
→ Remove it
A single weak unit can lose your run in higher floors.
Budget MVP Recommendation
If you don’t have top-tier cards:
- Shield Hero-type units (or equivalents)
Why they work:
- Summon extra units
- Add pressure automatically
- Provide survivability
They’re one of the safest picks for climbing.
Team Building Tips
- Put your strongest carry in the backline
- Keep sustain units mid/front
- Avoid stacking only DPS
Example adjustments that help:
- Replace filler units (like weak merge-type cards)
- Add sustain modifiers (healing or lifesteal setups)
- Focus on consistency, not burst
How To Handle Early Floors (1–5)
- Don’t panic if damage feels low
- Focus on surviving first rotations
- Let your team stabilize
If you survive:
- Your scaling units will take over
Mid Floors (5–7) – Where Most Runs Fail
This is where:
- Damage spikes
- Dodge RNG hurts more
- Low HP penalties kick in
What you should do:
- Keep HP high
- Avoid risky plays
- Let sustain carry fights
Late Floors (7–10+)
At this stage:
- Only optimized teams survive
- Small mistakes = run over
You need:
- Strong synergy
- Healing + damage balance
- No wasted units
Rewards
Early floors:
- Decent rewards (e.g., ~250K range)
But:
- Real value comes from pushing deeper
So don’t just farm floor 1 repeatedly — aim to climb.
Tremor Tower is manageable once you understand it. Darkness Tower is where builds get tested properly.
If you’re struggling:
- It’s not just your level
- It’s your team setup
Once you shift from:
- “More damage = win”
To:
- “Survive + scale = win”
You’ll start clearing floors much more consistently.
