Tower | Floor focus | Buff lean | Primary DPS | Support package | Crest timer (full) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Resonant | Floor 4 | Havoc RES down + Basic Attack stacks | Camellya or Augusta | Shorekeeper / Verina | 180s left |
Echoing | Floor 4 | Aero RES down + Intro Skill Crit/Basic | Cartethyia | Ciaccona / Aero sub | 180s left |
Hazard 1–2 | Feilian Beringal, Nameless Explorer | Spectro / Fusion push | Luuk Herssen (or Aemeath) | Lynae / Denia / Mornye / Shorekeeper | 180s left |
Hazard 3–4 | Tempest Mephis, Thundering Mephis, Mech Abomination | Negative Status / Tune Break / Havoc Bane | Hiyuki (or Yangyang SP) | Lucilla / Chisa / Lynae | 150s left |
S0R1 reference clear (headline cores):
Hiyuki: Glacio Chafe hypercarry for Hazard back half
Luuk Herssen: Spectro Basic Attack carry for Hazard front half
Cartethyia: Aero Basic Attack carry for Echoing, plus spare Hazard waves if you need her
Floor Buffs and Enemy Notes
Match the buff before you lock a favorite Resonator. Wrong element on a white tower wastes a unit you need in Hazard.
Resonant Tower
Enemies take more Havoc damage.
Basic Attack hits stack All-Attribute DMG. Camellya fits the buff and stays off the ground when Dragon of Dirge spikes the floor.
Save Fusion and top Hazard DPS for later. Augusta works here if Camellya is busy elsewhere.
Echoing Tower
Aero RES down. Intro Skill feeds Crit DMG and Basic Attack DMG.
Floor 4 boss Lampylumen Myriad paints ice pools. Ten Glacio stacks freeze you. Strafe left and right to break the ice.
Park Cartethyia here. Keep Hiyuki off this tower so she stays fresh for Hazard 3–4.
Hazard Tower Floors 1–2
Spectro and Fusion get the DMG lane. Aero and Electro sit at a RES penalty.
Floor 1: Feilian Beringal is a HP sponge. Dodge the grab and tornado.
Floor 2: Nameless Explorer jets around the arena. Break the pack on his back first. Tune Strain from Luuk, Lynae, or Denia opens vulnerability windows.
Hazard Tower Floors 3–4
Combat ramps Total DMG over time. Negative Status or Tunability strips the 15% All-Attribute RES.
Tune Break skills stack personal DMG. Havoc Bane adds a large personal DMG window for Yangyang SP.
Enemies resist Electro, so Augusta and Rebecca underperform.
Floor 3 waves: Explorer cars, Mining Reindeers, Questless Knight, then Tempest Mephis.
Floor 4: Mech Abomination laser and Thundering Mephis teleport. Stay close on the laser. Thundering Mephis staggers more easily than Tempest.

How to Clear 36 Crest Tower of Adversity
Open the Tower terminal and read every floor buff before you lock teams. Assign one hypercarry per tower pair.
Auto-clear early Resonant and Echoing floors if your account already unlocked them from prior crests. Spend Vigor on Floor 4 and Hazard.
Start Hazard 1–2 with Luuk (or Aemeath). Break Nameless Explorer's jetpack before you dump Liberation.
Save Hiyuki for Hazard 3–4. Land Glacio Chafe first to strip All-Attribute RES, then spend Liberations into the Total DMG ramp.
Park Cartethyia on Echoing Floor 4. Fire her Intro Skill on cooldown so Crit DMG stacks stay live against Lampylumen.
Retry a floor if you miss the top timer by a few seconds. Swap a sustain for a second sub-DPS before you rebuild Echoes from scratch.

FAQ
How many Crests do you need for full Tower of Adversity rewards?
Hazard Zone pays stepwise rewards through 36 Crests. Hit every timer tier on Resonant, Echoing, and Hazard floors in the current rotation. Prior 24–30 Crest accounts may auto-clear early white floors; you still run Floor 4 and Hazard for the last brackets.
Can you clear 36 Crest with S0R1 teams in Version 3.5?
Yes. S0 Hiyuki, S0 Luuk Herssen, and S0R1 Cartethyia cover the three hard lanes if Echoes sit at +25 with Crit rolls and supports hold Concerto. Signature weapons speed the timer; they are not a hard gate on this rotation.
Who should you pull first for this Tower of Adversity?
If you lack a Glacio Chafe DPS, pull Hiyuki for Hazard back half. Luuk covers Spectro Hazard boards. Cartethyia covers Aero Echoing. Fill the empty tower lane first.
What Echo set does Hiyuki want for Tower of Adversity?
Run five-piece Wishes of Quiet Snowfall. Two-piece adds Glacio DMG. Five-piece adds more Glacio DMG after Glacio Chafe and stacks Snowfall. Main Echo: Glacio DMG. Substats: Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK%, Energy Regen as needed.
Does Tower of Adversity reset wipe Stable and Experimental rewards?
Hazard Zone resets on a two-week cycle and refreshes its Crest ladder. Stable and Experimental keep permanent crest progress. Recheck Hazard buffs every reset; team order often flips even when the cast list stays similar.
Conclusion
Version 3.5 Tower of Adversity runs on a three-lane split: Cartethyia on Echoing, Luuk on Hazard front, Hiyuki on Hazard back. Camellya or Augusta handle Resonant. Bookmark this page for the next Hazard refresh. Claim free Astrite from the codes hub. Top up Lunites on BitTopup when one signature or Echo unlock is all that stands between you and 36 Crests.
