Some characters in Sailor Piece are grindy… and then there’s Abyssal Empress. This isn’t something you unlock casually while playing. It’s a dedicated Tower grind reward, and if you don’t approach it the right way, you’ll waste hours for slow progress.
Let’s break it down properly so you actually get it without burning out.
Where to Unlock Abyssal Empress
Everything starts at Tower Island.
Once you’re there:
- Find the Tower Shop
- You’ll see Abyssal Empress listed for 4,000 Tower Tokens
That number alone tells you one thing—this is meant to be endgame.
What Are Tower Tokens (And How You Get Them)
You don’t farm tokens from NPCs or bosses.
They only come from one place:
Infinite Tower Mode
- Enter the tower
- Clear waves/floors
- Earn tokens based on how far you go
Simple concept… but execution is where it gets tough.
Infinite Tower Explained
This isn’t just “fight enemies until you win.”
The deeper you go:
- Enemies get stronger
- Your build starts to matter a lot
- Survival becomes harder than damage
Key Rule:
The higher the floor → the more tokens you earn
So if you’re only clearing low levels, your progress toward Abyssal Empress will feel painfully slow.
Entry Requirement
To even start grinding:
- You need a Tower Key
No key = no entry = no tokens
If you’re stuck wondering why you can’t farm, this is probably the reason.
Best Strategy to Farm 4000 Tokens Faster
Let’s be real—this grind is long. So efficiency matters.
1. Play With a Team (Highly Recommended)
- Solo runs are slower and riskier
- Teams help you push higher floors
- Higher floors = more tokens per run
This is the biggest difference-maker.
2. Build for Damage + Survivability
You need both:
- High Damage → clear waves faster
- High HP / sustain → survive later floors
Glass cannon builds might work early, but they fall off hard in higher waves.
3. Don’t Just Spam Runs – Push Depth
A common mistake:
- Players keep doing short runs repeatedly
Better approach:
- Focus on going deeper each run
One deep run > multiple shallow runs
4. Upgrade Before You Grind Hard
If you’re struggling:
- Go back and farm better gear/characters
- Then return stronger
Trying to brute-force the tower underpowered will slow you down more than help.
How Long Does It Take?
Let’s not sugarcoat it:
- 4,000 tokens is a serious grind
- Casual runs = very slow progress
- Optimized team runs = much faster
This is one of those unlocks where consistency matters more than luck.
