Chaos Zero Nightmare Spiral Tower Of Screams – Everything You Need To Know

What is the Spiral Tower of Screams

A brand new end game centric gamemode releasing with the January Pre-season update patch, Spiral Tower of Screams is a permanent game mode that is available for all players who have completed the game’s main story to participate in to obtain large amounts of crystals, character upgrading materials and exclusive items.

In the Spiral Tower of Screams gamemode, players will be required to use special teams to challenge the tower’s many floors in order to reach checkpoints and obtain special rewards for each floor checkpoint they cleared. 

For the 2026 January update, the tower will be opened as a Beta version and will allow players to challenge up to floor 50 to obtain the tower’s rewards. Every week, players will have up to 5 chances to challenge the tower, with each chance being decreased whenever they reach a checkpoint or suffer defeat while challenging the floors, meaning players can get to floor 50 for the tower after 2 weeks during the update patch’s duration.

Challenging Spiral Tower Of Screams

Spiral Tower of Screams are divided into 150 different floors, each with their own waves of enemies that players have to defeat in order to advance further into the tower and obtain rewards. There will be checkpoints for every 5 floors cleared during the tower climb and if players do not reach the checkpoint, their progress will not be saved and they won’t be able to obtain the rewards. The goal for the gamemode is to use different team comps to challenge 5 waves of enemies in succession at a time in order to obtain the checkpoint rewards and advance in the tower as far as possible.

When challenging the tower, each time players enter the tower by spending an attempt, they will be locked into a single team to be used until the players manage to reach the game’s checkpoints every 5 floors. This means that players will need to stick to a single team and get through 5 waves of enemies in a row without losing the entire team’s HP bar and reach the save point, otherwise they will waste the challenge attempt. 

For every 5 waves of enemies, the 4th and 5th wave of enemies will contain Elite and Boss Enemies, with a high amount of HP and special gimmicks that players need to check before challenging them in order to bring the correct teams to challenge.

Important Gimmicks & Restrictions

Unlike the usual game modes like Chaos, Codex and Basin Endgame mode, Spiral Tower of Screams impose special rules and gimmicks to limit certain team comps and they will be changed depending on the season of Spiral Tower of Screams.

For the first Spiral Tower of Screams, the Distortion effects are as followed: 

– Monsters that appear possess all Attribute Weaknesses.

– Defense-based Damage increased by 100%

– The Maximum number of cards that can be created per turn is 12.

These Distortion effects heavily encourage the use of characters that take advantage of enemies’ Tenacity gauge and Ravage effect and characters that deal Defense-based damage to enemies. The Distortion effects also restrict the usage of card creating characters like Tressa or Cassius.
