It’s that time, folks—Towerborne has dropped onto Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Xbox Cloud, and it’s up on Game Pass today! We’re talking about a looter-brawler here, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. Here’s a bunch of random tips to get you rolling into the chaotic mess that is the Ace adventure. Not sure why, but this game just sticks with you. Maybe it’s the chaotic energy. Who knows.
Just Mess Around
So, here’s the thing. Towerborne? Yeah, easy to start with, but if you dive deep—oh man, the combat systems! There are four classes, each with its, uh, vibe, thanks to different weapons. But don’t box yourself into one playstyle. Even if you think you know what you like, mix it up. Trust me, you might surprise yourself. The whole class-swapping thing? It’s like flipping a switch. Bam, new build.
Craft That Win
Then there’s this Class Mastery Update. Holy moly, it shook things up. You got skill trees now, and let me tell you, they’re not what you expect. Wanna be a fast attacker with Sentinel, or maybe more of a tank? It’s like a personality quiz for fighters. Seriously, there’s something here for everyone.
Quick Share: Builds that Bang
-
Bleed Build: You feel like a vicious vampire. There’s Bloodlust—it boosts damage, and Sanguine Burst that just blows stuff up when they bleed. Cool, right?
-
Sear Build: Pyroclast, which sounds fancy, but really it’s just setting stuff on fire. Persistent Pyre makes it last, and with Ember Spike? Oh man, explosions everywhere.
-
Powderkeg Boom: Rockbreaker’s the heavy hitter. Quick Charge speeds things up, and Cracking Knuckles? Heads up—you break ’em, they fold like paper.
-
Projectile Overload: If being a Shadowstriker sounds like your jam. Shooting Stars loads you up with kunai and Shadowsting poisons, or whatever. It’s chaos.
- Support Sidekick: Think healers aren’t cool? Ya gotta try it here; any class can go support. Heal your buddies, stock flasks, and swap skills mid-game. Seriously flexible.
Slow Down, Soldier
Fighting? Sometimes you gotta pause and, uh, really look. Gobos, those little nasties, telegraph their moves like they’re on stage. You wanna dodge, attack, save those Mender’s Flasks because, trust me, you’ll need ‘em later.
Use Their Toys
Oh, the best part? Gobos drop bombs—literally. Knock it loose, watch ‘em panic. Sometimes they’ll just cover up like “oh no!” It’s kind of hilarious. Use the environment too. Barrels go boom—who knew? And you’ll sit there thinking “Why don’t they learn?” But they don’t.
Mascots with Muscle
Umbra companions add some spice to the fight. Iska’s your starter—long-range while you smash up close. Pox does sky tricks, Picus, though? It’s like everything’s on fire. They’re weirdly adorable but deadly. Go figure.
Looking forward to seeing you topple some Gobos. Got a lot more to explore in Towerborne so get playing, and don’t blame me if you lose a few evenings to it—fair warning!
