r/OakenTower

This is what i have learned in my (pretty short) climbing journey to Top 500 from personal experience and watching really good (better than me) Oaken towers players play alot

Played with full Random Packs & Percs (can probably climb alot higher im only 150 games in right now and have improved alot since starting)

The most consistant 10 Trophy strat ive found is abusing combine/tripple chest rewards and theres 3 main ways to do this:

1. The default way, Abusing 15g Items to get a round 3 | lvl.3 Epic Tripple Combine which you then build your run around/off of
   One of the best players that does this almost every game is u/Hwaii aka. Michuu who is consistantly top 5 global
   Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvPKKQ7GNoU
   Round 1 buy and roll for as many 15g items (except the 15g shield) as possible (dont roll when you got <18g). You will often get 3x 15g items that way which will make you win alot of early round easily conserving alot of health for scaling
   Round 2 level! If you find tripples freeze dont buy them yet
   Round 3 level again and go the Top option (instant gold & max health) then combine or look for your tripple if you dont have it yet
   The 3 epic options you will gain from that chest should give you plenty of starting points to build your run around or catapult gold generation off of etc.

2. My backup way, if I dont find a tripple on round 3 or i find it but you cant buy it I go for 2 more levels for 2 more rounds into a quick tripple legendary chest and build around that or just slot the legendary as a strong Interim carry item that often doesnt need support

3. If you get some Non-15g early strong duplicates or even tripples that will let you either carry or snowball then you can of course buy them and again go for either lv3 or 5 epic combine

Of course theres other ways to win like early money or item printing or strong type synergies like maces and axes or insanely strong early day1-2 builds that let you greed for income on day 3 but they accour in <5% of games for me while the 3 above strats make up the other >95%

Some other tips:
- Focus on single carry items especially for later rounds! Example for holy build below but its a mistake i see alot not comitting to one solo carry enough! Even for types like Moon or Dark that explicitly state they want many of the same type to give you benifits they are often not the optimal way to build those types!

- Abuse Fairy whiles its still not nerfed! Fairy is currently by far the best build imo and its super easy to get going! You need one of these combinations of items:
Frog + Trigger + Rainbow Rod = Freewin instantly
Frog + Trigger + Orb + either Opal Knife or Harp = Instant win
1 Star+ Rainbow Rod (+multiple optional Nightquills) = INSTA win
This means if youre doing good with another build or early Items you can always grab a rainbow rod as backup incase it doesnt work! Seriously its that OP right now

By Trigger i mean Lilypad Charm, TimePendant or Dream Catcher.
2-3 Epics and/or a legendary inst a guarantee but if you get it its not only an instant guaranteed 10 Trophies but also a near guaranteed Day 23 bonus rating since Fairy outscales all other normal non-infinite builds

- Play random Packs & Percs and experiment with different builds. Dont overforce what has worked for you in the past, instead take whats given to you and experiment! You will be surprised by how many builds, types and carry items are viable!

I am relatively new to this game and have found that focusing on potions is the most straightforward way to acquire 3-star items and significant gold before day 20.

My usual strategy involves using a mimic rod to duplicate potion belts, then transitioning to my desired build. I am curious if there are other effective early game builds that offer substantial power and gold generation without relying on potions?

Guys, what do you think about adding some PvE content?

I still remember the good old days of Hearthstone, especially when Naxxramas first came out. It was amazing, and I'd love to see something similar in Oaken Tower.

For example, when we get a new pack like Wind, we could also get a set of Wind-themed towers to fight through, kind of like the Santa fight during the demo. I'm not sure exactly how it could be implemented, but I think it could be a really fun way to introduce new packs.

And Bocary, if you're reading this, sorry for the unsolicited suggestion. This idea has been stuck in my head for weeks now, so I had to get it out there.

edit: Combating this concrete build happened 2 times in consecutive games. It just feels weird.
