Tower of God: The Great Journey follows the story of the main protagonist of the series – Twenty-Fifth Baam as he ventures into the Tower that is stated to grant any wish true. However, only one condition, is that the person should climb all the floors of the tower. On every 10th floor of the tower sits a Tower Guardian that is extremely powerful. Baam ventures into the tower to find his childhood friend Rachel who betrayed him and went inside the tower alone to fulfill her desires. Tower of God: The Great Journey harbors idle/AFK elements as well, accommodating to the needs of casual players who do not like to grind much. At the core of the game, Tower of God: The Great Journey is a hero-collector that allows players to summon their favorite characters through the in-game summoning system which makes use of the gachapon mechanics. Players can summon both weapons as well as characters which might be a disappointment for players who only like collecting characters. The mixed gacha system has a higher probability of summoning lower rarity weapons/characters while the higher rarity weapons/characters have a lower chance of being summoned. The probabilities are as follows:

• Legend Rarity weapon and character – 1% total (0.8% for character + 0.2% for weapon)
• Heroic Rarity weapon and character – 5% total (3% for character + 2% for weapon)
• Rare Rarity weapon – 20% chance of being obtained
• Advanced Rarity weapon – 74% chance of being obtained

A Tier Characters

Let’s take a look at some of the characters in this tier:

Kang Horyang – Heroic Character

Kang Horyang is a Heroic rarity hero that is classified as a Magic Tank type in-game. Kang Horyung might be the first great Heroic rarity character that can be acquired at the start of the game.

His 1st skill states the following – “Rush to the target and deal [100% (302.5%) Magic dmg”. His 2nd skill states the following – “Deals [75% (226.88%) Magic dmg] to enemies within range, taunt for 3 seconds and additional dmg to shield”.

Novick – Heroic Character

Novick is a Heroic rarity hero that is classified as a Physical DPS type in-game. Novick is a weird mix of physical damage dealers that can also somewhat tank but not quite efficiently. His 1st skill states the following – “Deals [50% (151.25%) Physical dmg] 4 times and additional shield damage.” After transcending, this skill also gets a knockback effect added that can disrupt the positioning of the enemies. His 2nd skill states the following – “Deals [50% (151.25%) Physical dmg] to enemies within range 5 times and additional dmg to shield.” Novick’s passive ability states he gains 100 points of Defense and 30% physical damage reduction.

Emerald Ocean Yeon Yihwa – Legendary Character

Emerald Ocean Yeon Yihwa is a Legendary rarity hero that is classified as a Magical DPS type in-game. Being one of the few limited-time characters released in the game, Emerald Ocean Yeon Yihwa is certainly a top-tier pick for any team. Her 1st skill states the following – “Reduces [5% (20%)] physical dmg taken for all allies for 5 seconds and increases [10% (50%)] critical dmg resistance for 5 seconds.” Providing a ton of physical damage reduction with just her 1st skill is amazing. Her 2nd skill states the following – “Deals [150% (525%) Magic dmg] and knockback all enemies within range”. After being transcended, this skill can even Stun all enemies hit for 2 seconds. This skill alone makes her a force to be reckoned with. Emerald Ocean Yeon Yihwa’s weapon TR skill states the following – “Increases normal attack power for 7 seconds, Deals [75% Magic dmg] to all enemies 2 times and Increases [0 (12) + 0 per character level (0.2)] all allies attack for 7 seconds.”

Khun Aguero Agnis is a Heroic rarity hero that is classified as a Magical DPS type in-game.  His 1st skill states the following – “Deals [75% (226.88%) Magic dmg] to enemies within range 2 times”. Upon being transcended, he gains 20% of the damage dealt back as life recovered. His 2nd skill states the following – “Recovers [100% (200%) of attack power] health”. One of the strong suits of Khun Aguero Agnis is his ability to self-sustain. After being transcended, this skill further provides him with a 50% continuous recovery effect for 8 seconds. Make sure to build him with high attack power for more healing through his skills. His passive ability increases the Life recovery effect of all allies by 35% which is unusual for a hero like Khun Aguero Agnis that does not have any ally recovery skills. Nevertheless, he works well with other healers on the team.

Rachel – Heroic Character

Rachel is a Heroic rarity hero that is classified as a Magical DPS type in-game. Rachel is given to all players for free at the start of the game.

Hatz – Heroic Character

Hatz is a Heroic rarity hero that is classified as a Physical DPS type in-game. Hatz is a decent early-game assassin type character that can make wonders for a new player. However, his usability falls off very fast as you progress in the game. He has lackluster base stats and abilities, to say the least. His 1st skill states the following – “Increases [15% (45%)] Physical dmg for 8 seconds”. Upon being transcended, this skill gets an additional 15% attack boost and 30% critical hit damage boost for 8 seconds each. Hatz’s 2nd skill states the following – “Deals [150% (453.75%) Physical dmg] to the enemy with the lowest HP”. Upon being transcended, this skill deals an additional 50% damage to the target. His passive ability states that Hatz gets an increased 35% critical hit damage, making him deal some crazy critical hit damage, especially with his 1st skill active.
