Events are an integral part of The Tower gameplay. Each event lasts for two weeks and is immediately replaced with a new event. In the event, you are faced with various missions that earn you Medals, and with various upgrades you can spend these medals on.

Medals are a significantly rare resource, and if you are early-game, the event missions can be challenging, especially before you've unlocked five labs and gotten more Ultimate Weapons (UWs) and Cards, as many missions rely heavily on having such. However, while UW missions exist, the Unlock Random Ultimate Weapon Perk make these more doable. For tips on specific missions, see Tips on Specific Event Missions further below in this guide.

All event missions have 3 tiers to complete. Each tier will have a higher requirement and provide an increasing amount of medals. There are 7 missions unlocked on the first day with 2 missions added every day for the next 7 days. Missions will remain until the end of the event.

Event Medal Spending

Now let’s get into the overall recommended approach to medal spending. Keep in mind, that you, of course, can do whatever you like yourself and don’t have to follow these suggestions religiously.

1. Stone Sets

Investing in one or two sets of stones with medals early on in the game provides a substantial boost. Consider a third set during your first few events. The reason we are limiting our stone sets for medals is because of the increased medal cost.

• Event medal costs for 15 stones start at 40 medals and then increase accordingly for subsequent medal purchases: 65, 90, 130, 175, 230, 380. These costs reset to 40 medals for each event.
• Once you later get stronger and can earn more stones for yourself in the game, then the value and relevance of the stone sets diminishes substantially.

2. Theme and Skin Acquisition

Limited-time Themes (backgrounds and skins) are highly recommended purchases. Their permanent coin bonuses add up over time. Aim to acquire both during each event.

• Theme bonuses accumulate passively; you don't need to equip the skins and backgrounds to benefit.

3. Relics

Relics are passive buffs to increase your tower’s abilities and are acquired through two ways in events:

1. Seasonal earned relics:
   • These relics are acquired by earning a specified number of total medals during the event, and will have varying bonuses (Crit Factor, Attack Speed, Wall Rebuild etc.). One rare relic is acquired after earning 350 medals, and the second, an epic relic, is acquired after earning 700 medals.
   • PS! With the v26 update, there are also two additional earned relics, but these require the “Event Packs that you have to pay real money for to receive.
2. Seasonal purchasable relics (in the event):
   • At times, the event shop will have various relics on offer that can be purchased with medals. While relics can be very expensive early on when you are a new player, you generally want all the relics you can get your hands on. The only relic to consider skipping is the Defense Absolute relic (also see: Should I skip Absolute Defense relics in the Event?)

PS! Relics that have been available in previous events can re-appear at a future event. There is, however, no set specified schedule for this. See Event Timeline for a full list of previous events and relics.

4. Bots and Bots Priorities

For Bots, you primarily want to focus solely on the Golden Bot for a long while until your range and bonus are essentially maxed. Start first by prioritizing its range. Starting out, with little to no Medals invested, the Golden Bot will be weak and have little significance. However, over time, you will see a solid impact on your coin income - and especially so if you are able to have full or partial Sync with your econ Ultimate Weapons.

• Other bots become valuable much later in the game. Remember, bots are permanent and usable in Tournament.
