Dark Tower Abyss Guide: Endless Mode, Rewards and the Ranking

Everything about the Abyss, the endless mode of Dark Tower: Idle Villain TD: when it opens, which world it uses, how enemies grow past wave 50, the crystals and gems it pays every ten waves, the record and the Google Play ranking, and how to go deeper.
The Abyss is the endless mode of Dark Tower: Idle Villain TD. It opens when you conquer world 1 and starts at wave 41 of the last world you conquered. Waves 41 to 50 play as usual; after that the last ten waves repeat forever, and every five waves enemies get 10% more life and 6% more attack. Every ten waves past 50 pay 8 crystals and 4 gems on the spot, and your deepest wave goes to a Google Play ranking.
We make Dark Tower, so every number in this guide comes from the game's code.
How the Abyss works
- Unlock: conquer world 1. Tap ABYSS beside the tower in the lobby.
- The world: the last world you conquered, or world 5 once you have conquered them all.
- The start: wave 41, with a dark red veil over the battlefield.
- The rest is a normal battle: soul orbs, Dark Cards every fifth wave, spells and revives all work as usual.
How the enemies grow
Past wave 50, the waves keep the enemies of waves 41 to 50 in a loop, and on top of their usual strength every five waves add 10% life and 6% attack, which compounds:
| Wave | Enemy life | Enemy attack |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | x1.0 | x1.0 |
| 60 | x1.21 | x1.12 |
| 75 | x1.61 | x1.34 |
| 100 | x2.59 | x1.79 |
| 150 | x6.73 | x3.21 |
Life grows faster than attack, so the deep Abyss is a test of damage more than of health.
Rewards
Every ten waves past 50, at depth 50, 60, 70 and so on, the Abyss pays 8 crystals and 4 gems at once, on top of the usual soul orbs and gold. Your record is kept, and with Google Play Games signed in, the deepest wave goes to the Abyss Depth ranking; the RANKING key in the Abyss window opens it.
Abyss waves do not count for the daily quest to reach a wave; play a normal battle for that one.
How to go deeper
- Damage scales the run. Evolve the tower, raise Dark Might in the Lab and take damage cards like Twin Bolts and Cruel Crits early.
- Crowd cards matter more here: Black Hole, Nova Pulse and Chain Lightning hit the looping waves hard.
- Save Dark Energy in the first draws to raise the odds of a Black Hole.
- The Heart of the Abyss relic starts every battle with up to three free Dark Cards.
- Revive wisely: a revive clears the enemies near the tower, so use it to keep a deep run alive.
