Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

New Event – Tower of Magic!!

Overview

Tower of Megic is a new event which is similar to Ninja tower, but it has got two questlines:

• The normal questline has got 25 floors.
• The impossible questline has got 50 floors, which you can start after the you have completed the normal questline.

• The overall goal is to “climb” as high as you can in the Tower of Magic
• Each Floor must be completed before progressing to the next one
• Floors cannot currently be replayed once completed
• Each Floor is akin to an event Stage, and features monsters and Bosses
• Tower of Magic Floors feature a new gameplay mechanic, Magic Sphere, which can impart Magic Curses on your Heroes, preventing them from further use.
  • Heroes with Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard and Cleric class can stand 5 Curses
  • All other Heroes will become unusable after the first curse.
• Every 2 Floors completed on both questlines, you are offered the choice of a Blessing, selected from one of three options; these Blessings remain active for the rest of the Tower of Magic event, for all of your Heroes on your Roster; See the offered Blessings bellow.
• Every 3rd offered Blessing is a Rare Blessing so they are offered after every 6th completed floor on both questlines. See the offered Blessings bellow.
• Tower of Megic uses a new flag energy, called Tower Energy;
  • We receive 10 flags a day, which can not be carried out to the next day.
  • Each level needs 1 Tower enerty, which means that 75 Tower Energies are needed if you want to complete all floors on both questlines
  • There is a special Tower energy flasks, which refills 5 Tower Energy
• Floors currently have a timer, similar to Challenge Event Stages; likewise, the current scoring appears to use the Challenge Event logic;
• There’s a Leaderboard, also similar to the Challenge Events; again, one notable difference about the Leaderboard is that it indicates Highest Floor for each player in addition to a Score.
  • The difference from Ninja Tower is the Tower is marked completed right after you have completed the Normal questline.
  • You can improve your score further if you complete the Impossible questline.
• Rewards are currently structured like a Challenge Event, in that they are based on brackets of a certain number of players;
  • The rewards and the bracklets are almost identical as the rewards of the Ninja Tower. There are only two differences:
    • Top 1 receives 220 Tower coins instead of 300
    • Top 2-10 receives 210 Tower coins instead of 250
• Similarly to Ninja Tower we have deadly chamber effects.
  • Toxic Vapor: The battles takes place in a Deadly Chamber that is filled with toxic vapor.
    Toxic Vapor deals X damage to all heroes every 3 turns.
  • Fragile Floor: The battles takes place in a Deadly Chamber that has fragile floor.
    The number of items that you can bring into battle is Y less than normally per item. You can always bring at least 1 item.
  • Errtaic Time: The battles takes place in a Deadly Chamber where time behaves erratically.
    All status effects cast by Heroes are Z turn(s) shorter than normally. They will always last at least 1 turn.

Stage-by-stage information:

• I have collected the information for Normal questline and half of Impossible so far.
• Here are the mob colors, wave counts, bosses and the deadly chamber effects for each floor on Normal questline:

New updated version:
The highlighed fields are changed.

Old version

• On all 50 Impossible dloors the Deadly Chamber effects are the same:
  • Toxic Vapor with 100 damage evety 3 turn
  • Fragile Floor: you can 3 item less
  • Erratic time: all status effects are 2 turn shorter

Exact wording of the Event Rules:

The goal of the Tower of Magic is to climb the tower as high as possible with the best possible score. Players receive exclusive rewards based on their ranking at the end of the event.

TOWER OF MAGIC FEATURES

All the Tower of Magic stages feature Magic Curses. If the Magic Sphere is not destroyed in time, one of your Heroes will receive a Magic Curse. Heries that are Cursed 1 times cannot enter the Tower of Magic battles again. However, Heroes of Magic classes (Wizards, Sorcerers, Druids and Clerics) an withstand 5 curses.

After completing certain stages, you can choose a Blessing to empower all your Heroes. Blessings are buffs that are active on all of your Heroes in the Tower of Magic battles for the rest of the current event.

TOWER OF MAGIC SCORING

Leaderborad rankings are based on the highest floor reached. The scores from both questlines (Normal and Impossible) are combined. If players have reached the same floor, they are ranked based on their cumulative scores from playing each floor. The scores are defined by the enemies defeated, speed of completion and the amount of Hero health left at the end of the stage. Big combos and great matches are also taken into account.

Stages cannot be replayed after completing them succesfully.

no sign of a new “magic troop” so far, right?

[PlayForFun]

No, the Magic troops so far are not arrived to Beta if there will be any.

[pinkymadigan]

If they require 75 energy, does it last 7.5 days? Or do we need to buy extra energy?

[Suicide_Bunny]

It seems that the rewards for completion end after you complete “normal” stages, impossible stages only add points to your ranking which may land you in a better tier… which basically means for all but a handful in top tiers, it’s really not worth the tornadoes invested.

No cherry at the top for completing 75 stages event, unless you score top 1 spot (which if you ask me is still not worth it at all).

Challenge but a very pointless one. How can they introduce an event that happens bi-monthly and is ridiculously hard but there is almost no reward for it is just baffling. We have a goddamn rare quest every 10 days that gives guaranteed epic ascension mat for challenge equal to beating babies. Why be so greedy here?

[Jomps]

well, bright side is that the new stages are only for ranking, i was afraid they just dicided to put a paywall on a “regular” level

[dawnsempires]

i see the same stack option on the rare blessings appears twice for each one. are the stacks additive? so if you select +5% attack stack twice, it becomes +10% stack? or the mana when entering the boss wave: does it become full mana when entering the boss wave if you select it both times?

[Ruskin505]

@PlayForFun

There is a special Tower energy flasks, which refills 5 Tower Energy

Is this the same flask as we get/buy in ninja tower?

Overall it does seem like they took ninja tower and made it 25 floors. But then they added additional levels for the top players to further differentiate without a ton of guaranteed loot. This seems like a great happy medium.

From a quick look at the bosses, we will have more variety than the number of blue/dark ninjas were used to.

[pb9921]

Considering I don’t like Ninja Tower as it just is too much of a time sink for what you get out of it. Does this game really need another Tower Event that’s even longer?

[Mr.Spock]

Only 75 floors? Make it 150!

[ERROR4]

For those who just want to complete it’s actually shorter. Just 25 stages.

[Photon]

How are costume heroes affected? if a normal outfit, let’s say Marjana. If normal Marjana gets a curse, then would the costume still be usable? And, would it also work vice versa?

[Kaenguru]

Costumes are no separate version.

If the hero is cursed, neither regular version nor costume are available. No difference if the final curse occurred to the costume or the normal version.

What is still under investigation is the handling of class differences between regular and costume version and 1 vs 5 possible curses.

[Kaenguru]

I tested the stacks and they are additive,
I guess it’s the same for mana bonus, but didn’t go for it

[PlayForFun]

@Photon

How are costume heroes affected? if a normal outfit, let’s say Marjana. If normal Marjana gets a curse, then would the costume still be usable? And, would it also work vice versa?

Currenly it is working the worst way as possible,
If you have a hero where the original version is not Magical class, and you bring the costume version which has Magical class, and you receive a single curse, then whole hero became unusable regardless you see only 1 / 5 Curse on your costume.
I hope it is just a bug, and SG will fix it by the next Beta build about this event.

[PlayForFun]

@Mr.Spock

Only 75 floors? Make it 150!

There is a chance that it be shorter later.
Ninja Tower is started with 100 Floors too in the first Beta, and it became only 50 floors when it has reached the live game, but we will see…

[Artamiss]

Actually I think it’s better if there is no good rewards and incentives to achieve more stages because we could then just skip it and not fall behind by missing important stuff.

[KeeSnow]

I think they should just make it 25 + 25 max… Am also curious where do they plan to fit this into the already super busy schedule…

For a 4-week rotation, we already have:
Week 1: AR + Costume
Week 2: VF + Challenge Event
Week 3: Mystic titan + Season 4
Week 4: Aether quest + ToL/Ninja tower (alternating)
Week 5 onwards: the cycle repeats…

[Greengoo]

Probably it will be in Week 4, alternating with Ninja tower

[Mr.Spock]

50 floors is enough that tons of players don’t even bother lol. 100 was pure insanity, and 75 isn’t far off.

Otherwise, I expect a full pension and benefits for this full-time job
