How to climb the Tower of Oblivion in Idle Heroes – reading enemy teams, using faction counters and auras, and knowing when to stop and upgrade.

The Tower of Oblivion is Idle Heroes’ climbing challenge. Each floor is a fixed battle, and clearing it gives rewards and shows how far your team has come. Progress is permanent, so every floor you clear is a step forward.

How it works

  • Floors get steadily harder.
  • Each floor has a fixed enemy team.
  • Clearing floors gives rewards, often including useful materials.

Because enemy teams are fixed, you can study them and plan your line-up.

Reading the enemy team

Before attacking a floor:

  1. Check the enemy factions – bring heroes with faction advantage.
  2. Look at their front line – a tough front may need more damage or armour-breaking effects.
  3. Spot dangerous back-line heroes – plan control to stop them.

See our factions and team building guide for how faction advantage works.

Building tower teams

  • Use faction counters, even if it means swapping in a slightly weaker hero.
  • Check the aura – changing heroes can change your team bonus.
  • Keep a healer for longer fights.
  • Add control against teams with strong ultimates.

Retry before upgrading

Battles include some randomness. If you lose narrowly:

  • Try again a few times.
  • Adjust positions – swap which heroes face the enemy’s strongest attackers.
  • Change one hero to counter the biggest threat.

When to stop climbing

The tower doesn’t expire. When you hit a wall:

  • Upgrade your core team with your daily resources.
  • Focus on events and other modes for a few days.
  • Come back after a meaningful upgrade.

Common mistakes

  • Brute-forcing floors without checking factions.
  • Forgetting the aura when changing heroes.
  • Spending resources on random heroes just for one floor.

Climb with counters, retry close fights and come back stronger – the Tower of Oblivion rewards patience more than raw power. It’s a great complement to your daily routine.
