Elemental Tower

The **Elemental Tower** is one of five Miracle Tower challenges. The tower is endless, with increasing powerful enemies at each next floor. Adventurers are only allowed to use Elemental heroes to progress through the stages. Some Hybrids, like Nimbus Eudora, who are part Elemental, can participate.

## Completion and Rewards

Only 10 stages can be completed per day. Every 5th and 10th stage offers significant rewards.

Beyond that, each floor defeated also gives the adventurer rewards, including gold, as well as Equipment EXP for leveling up their heroes' mythic equipment.

## Format

This is purely a PvE mode.

For each floor, the adventurer must use a team of 5 elemental heroes that they own in order to defeat a 5-hero opponent in a single battle.

Starting at Floor 450, the number of battles required to ascend to the next floor increases from one to two. Heroes can not be reused in the second battle, so two teams of 5 elemental heroes are usually required to progress after Floor 450.

## Strategy (by character)

The following is a character-by-character breakdown of strategy.

### Valir

For early and mid game players, Valir is the most important character, as he acts as a main damage dealer, with powerful AOE attacks like *Searing Torrent* and his ultimate move, *Hellfire*. These also push or knock up the enemies affected, which acts as support for the rest of the team. However, this comes with several caveats:

* Valir has no access to an Angela  or other strong buff supports to turbo charge his power. His ultimate *Hellfire* usage is halved by having no access to Angela, and opponents attacking Valir can't get charmed by Angela's doll from her passive *Smart Heart*. Incidentally, other charmers and crowd controllers, like Selena, Lylia, Guinevere, and Hanabi, are also absent from an all-elemental lineup.
* Without Nana , Valir can't revive, so once he's died, the rest of the team needs to succeed without him.
* The range of his attacks is limited. *Hellfire* sometimes targets an undesired section of the battle field.
* Since *Searing Torrent* affects several enemies, it's easy to get charmed when Angela  is in the enemy lineup, because of her passive *Smart Heart*. Watch out for this, since Valir can accidentally decimate his own team.
* His attack *Searing Torrent* can also be sub-optimal if jumpers (assassins such as Saber  or Lancelot ) distract him away from attacking in the direction of the enemy's main contingency. Without Fanny , those infiltrators are likely to stay there in your way until they are slain.
* If Valir gets taunted (for instance by Gatotkaca ) or silenced (by Helcurt ), he might not be able to use his ultimate *Hellfire* for several seconds, leading to loss.

Still, there are positives, in that most of his skills are AOE, which means that he'll be hitting beyond enemies with Death Res such as Argus  and Wanwan , to inflict damage on their teammates.

Note that Valir is relatively a glass cannon, so defending him behind a decent tank like Belerick  or Hylos  is vital. Other options like Atlas , Masha , and Silvanna  are off limits. Hiding him away with Esmeralda  might not be the best idea, since Esme is wont to helicopter away when she uses her ultimate *Starmoon Radiance*, leaving Valir completely exposed and vulnerable if she attacks backline enemies, which is a common occurrence. Still, a team with Valir, Belerick, and Esme can work, and is often good enough.

Since Valir is frail, supports can help keep him strong and alive. Harley has the power to banish the most threatening enemies with *Magic Hat*, and Estes is a good healer, particularly if he's able to use his ultimate *Blessing of the Moon Goddess*. Even better, Valir might be tied to Estes through his skill *Moonlight Immersion*, which grants additional healing, shielding, and energy restoration between that skill and *Code of the Moon Elves*. That being said, there are some weaknesses associated with them:

* Estes' damage output is nothing.
* Harley banishes enemies; however, Valir and other team heroes can't damage the enemy throughout the duration of that banishment, which slows Valir's DPS and energy restoration. Harley should be used when a credible threat like Karrie  is threatening to target Valir, or if a scary hero like Alice  would otherwise have time to charge and use her ultimate *Blood Eulogy*.
* If either are charmed by Angela  or Selena , their skills can work against Valir by no longer providing him the support he needs, and giving that support to opponents. Worst case scenario, Harley actually banishes Valir leaving the rest of the team stranded without his damage and help to sustain them.

Working with Aurora , Valir can control most battles in Elemental Tower reasonably well. Both have non-trivial AOE damage output, while simultaneously crowd controlling: namely, she freezes enemies, slowing their attacks and advancement, and he knocks up and pushes enemies with his skills. In conjunction, they have the ability to stall enemies long enough for an optimized Esme or Eudora  to finish off everything.
