Tips & Tricks
- Place Temporal Towers around the Fungal Growth to slow enemies.
- Spread Empowering Towers (Rank III) around the area to power up all other totems.
- Use a variety of Meteor Towers and Arc Towers to deal damage. Meteor are more effective against rares while Arc against trash mobs.
- Build many towers and then slowly upgrade compared to building fully ranked towers immediately (except for an immediate Temporal Tower if you'd like)
- For specific tower information, visit the Wiki.

Harvest Tips
Basics
- There are three types of seeds - Wild, Vivid, and Primal
- Each type has their own respective "Collector" that you can plant around for them to grow
- Pylons are used to connect Storage Tanks, Disperses, and Collectors together.
- Storage Tanks are used to collect excess Lifeforce after Harvesting seeds.
- Dispersers are used to spread (or water) Lifeforce to seeds that require it to grow
- Tier 2+ seeds will require certain types of Lifeforce to grow
- You can craft extra Collectors, Storage Tanks, Dispersers, and Pylons using Lifeforce after harvesting seeds.
Other Information
- Pressing "V" or your League Hotkey will bring up the Seed Stockpile anytime in the Sacred Grove
- The level of the Seeds and Item Level of your items you would like to craft on matter. Seed Level +10 is the maximum item level you can craft on.
- Example: You can't use a level 65 seed's craft on an item level 76 weapon, however you can use it on a item level 75 weapon.
- Tier 4 seeds can require thousands of Lifeforce to grow
