Towerborne Tips and Tricks You Should Know

When you imagine a side-scrolling adventure, it’s usually not a complex game. You move across the screen, slaying monsters and completing objectives from point A to point B. A few Towerborne tips and tricks should serve you well in your adventures beyond The Belfry, and Insider Gaming intends to take this adventure alongside you!

What is Towerborne?

Towerborne is a side-scrolling action-adventure game with RPG elements from Stoic, the developers behind The Banner Saga. You take on the role of a hero, an Ace, born of spirits and with incredible abilities to defeat the monsters encroaching upon The Belfry. You’ll venture out—solo or with a party of up to three other players—to explore new lands, acquire powerful gear, and defeat creatures of varying sizes and difficulties. If you intend to venture alone, you can hire Umbra—unique companions joining you in combat and enhancing your abilities.

But it’s not all fighting. Towerborne features an untold number of quests, the ability to reforge your equipment to become more powerful, and other RPG mechanics that promise to keep players enjoying the experience for years, according to the studio.

Towerborne Tips and Tricks for New Players

Despite its simplicity on the surface, Towerborne does offer complex mechanics and a few confusing design choices that have new players scratching their heads. We’re here to help with a handful of Towerborne tips and tricks!

  1. You don’t need to rush into combat. While the enemies prove squishy in the early game, some of them hit hard. They telegraph their tells, so learn your foe’s moveset, watch for their wind-up, and know when to dodge forward, backward, or strike to interrupt attacks.
  2. Don’t fret over character creation too much, as part of the lore revolves around you being essentially immortal, which means you can alter your appearance anytime you wish from the hub area!
  3. You can switch classes anytime, so long as you’re not in the middle of a mission, so experiment with the four available—Sentinel, Pyroclast, Rockbreaker, and Shadowstriker—to figure out which one meshes well with your preferred play style. They all feature unique abilities and weapons, allowing for plenty of variety.
  4. Learn the game’s various roles and how they fit into a party-based environment. For example, the Sentinel excels as a frontline fighter that takes the brunt of the attack, while the Pyroclast moves up in the second slot to deal heavy damage to groups with its fire-based heavy attacks.
