Tiers

Last verified 2026-07-29 · 2 data tables

Tiers are the difficulty levels of The Tower: Idle Tower Defense. The game has 24 tiers in total, and climbing to a higher tier means facing tougher waves for greater rewards.

Description

Tiers represent the difficulty of the game, ranging from tier 1 up to tier 24.

You unlock the next tier through Milestones by reaching 100 waves on your current tier. The requirement increases at the top end: tiers 16 through 21 each ask for 300 waves on the previous tier before they open up.

List of Tiers

From tier 14 onwards, tiers also carry battle conditions, much like the ones you see in tournaments. The difference is that these conditions are static rather than rotating. The table below lists every tier along with the battle conditions that apply to it.

List of Battle conditions

The table below shows the battle conditions in effect for each tier from tier 14 upward. Because these conditions are fixed, you can plan your build around them before pushing into a new tier.
