Tower of Saviors Beginner Progression and Hub Navigation Guide

To progress efficiently in Tower of Saviors, spend your stamina on essential upgrade stages in the Lost Relic, clear full bi-weekly event sets to earn Diamonds, and upgrade your Secret Base facilities as your account level rises. Avoid spending Diamonds on stamina refills, and time your dungeon runs around level-up stamina refreshes to maximize early farming loops.

Runestone Movement and Board Basics

Combat in Tower of Saviors centers on continuous runestone dragging rather than single-tile swaps. Once you grab a runestone, you can move it across the entire board for a set duration. Every runestone displaced along your movement path shifts position, enabling you to set up multiple matches in a single turn.

Plan your board manipulation around these rules:

• Element Attacks: Matching three or more runestones of Water, Fire, Earth, Light, or Dark triggers attacks for cards sharing that attribute.
• Healing: Matching three or more Heart runestones restores your team's HP based on your total recovery stat.
• Combo Multipliers: Every individual match contributes to your total combo count, which applies an additive damage multiplier to your entire team's damage output for that turn.
• Enchanted Runestones: Aligning five runestones of the same attribute in a single match condenses them into an Enchanted Runestone. These runestones deal amplified damage and bypass enemy damage-nullification shields that require enchanted attacks to break.

Resource and Stamina Management

The top bar of the interface tracks your Player Level, Experience (EXP), Stamina, Coins, and Diamonds. Managing these resources carefully prevents progression bottlenecks.

• Stamina: Leveling up fully restores your stamina gauge. When your EXP bar is close to filling, run a high-yield stage to trigger the level-up without wasting excess stamina. Check the main interface daily for active events that halve stage stamina costs or increase card drop rates.
• Diamonds: Reserve Diamonds strictly for expanding your card inventory and drawing on high-value summoning banners. Do not spend Diamonds on stamina refills or reviving in standard stages.
• Coins: Gold Coins fund card leveling, evolutions, and equipment crafting. Keep a reserve on hand so evolution catalysts can be used immediately when acquired.

Lost Relic Dungeon Priorities

The Lost Relic is your central farming hub for daily materials, card experience, and time-limited events. Focus your stamina on categories that directly upgrade your active team.

Always finish all difficulties of a bi-weekly event before it rotates out. Clearing an entire event line awards a free Diamond, making these stages your primary recurring source of premium currency.

Catching Up in Chronotravel Tower

The Chronotravel Tower contains archived story chapters and legacy events that no longer appear on the standard world map. Enter this hub if your squad hits a stat wall in modern campaign stages.

Chronotravel Tower stages allow you to:

1. Practice against gimmicks: Learn how to navigate enemy skills such as combo shields, poison tiles, and weather traps in lower-difficulty environments.
2. Collect backlog rewards: Clear older story chapters to earn legacy card seals, account EXP, and one-time stage rewards at your own pace without time pressure.

Upgrading the Secret Base

The Secret Base unlocks passive account growth outside of stage combat. As your account level increases, check into the base regularly to collect accumulated resources and develop its infrastructure.

• Facility Upgrades: Invest resources to upgrade base facilities as soon as requirements are met. Higher facility levels raise your resource storage caps and unlock advanced recipes.
• Dragonary Crafts: Use the base crafting station to forge Dragonary Craft equipment. Equipping these items boosts your squad's base HP and recovery stats while providing active burst abilities during difficult boss encounters.
