This is a basic guide with some tips on how to play and do well in Tower Wizard.

You start by holding the orb for magic, then spend that magic to unlock new rooms, summon spirits, and eventually break through massive walls that block your progress.

Here’s a full breakdown of how to get started and keep pushing upward.

Core Gameplay Loop: Orb and Spirits

How to Generate Magic

Hold the orb to generate magic. You do not need to click repeatedly... just hold it.

Upgrade Wizard Magic early to boost the orb’s output by 100% per level.

Spirits and Cloudlings

Spend magic to summon spirits.

Spirits can then be used to create cloudlings, which automatically click the orb for you.

You can hold the orb while cloudlings are active to speed them up by 35%.

The Study Room and Knowledge

Unlocking the Study

After your first tower upgrade, you’ll unlock the Study.

This room lets you use spirits to create spirit tomes, which generate knowledge over time.

What Knowledge Does

Knowledge is spent on key upgrades like:

Boosting cloudling output
Creating more spirits from the study
Unlocking other rooms and passive boosts

Make sure you’re always generating knowledge in the background.

The Forest and Totems

How Forestry Works

Once unlocked, the Forest lets you use spirits as druids who collect wood.

You’ll use this wood to create totems, which give permanent bonuses.

Best Totem Strategy

Every totem can be carved into one of three types:

Magic gain
Knowledge gain
Wood gain

Totems work best in pairs... every two of the same type increases their effect.

Craft Forest Totems first, since they give you four free druids when placed.

Ascending and Building Up

How Ascension Works

You can ascend your tower after reaching specific milestones.

This does not cost resources, and each ascension unlocks new rooms like:

The Academy
The Dragon Nest
The Alchemy Lab

Important Upgrades

Academy lets you research passive magic boosts.
Dragon Nest adds XP-based skill trees through Dragon Keepers.
Alchemy lets you turn magic into magic gold, which can then be used to craft advanced relics.

Keep placing spirits wisely across each new room.

Prestige System Overview

Unlocking Prestige

Once progress slows down, you’ll unlock prestige.

Prestiging resets your current tower but gives you prestige points used in a permanent upgrade tree.

What to Spend Points On First

Early on, focus on:

Magic and wood gain
Spirit summoning improvements
Academy and Dragon Nest research bonuses
Auto-buy features

You’ll eventually unlock things like:

Researching all topics at once
Starting with certain buildings already built
Double summoning spirits, druids, and tomes

Wall Progression and Damage Systems

The First Major Wall

After several ascensions, you’ll hit a wall with millions of health.

You need to deal damage using special spirits:

Shamans, Gorgons, Ifrits, Zephyrs
Dragon abilities like Fireball
Wall debuffs like Curse, Molten, Weakness

Each spirit has a different method of dealing damage or weakening the wall.

Prestige from Damage

You’ll now earn prestige points from magic and wall damage.

Once your magic-based prestige gain caps out, focus on raising damage per minute to keep progressing.

Endgame and Cosmic Walls

Infinite Wall and Cosmic Dust

The final cosmic wall has infinite health. It introduces cosmic dust, a new system based on damage.

You’ll unlock new spirit types:

Astrologer helps weaken the cosmic wall
Tome Master boosts knowledge output
Dragon Queen increases dragon power and double-casts fireballs

Craft advanced relics like:

Holy Grail for magic gain
Philosopher Stone for magic and knowledge gain
Ouroboros for boosting Gorgon damage

You’ll also unlock the Runecraft system for long-term scaling.

Final Blurb

Tower Wizard might start as a simple orb clicker, but it quickly turns into a complex builder with research trees, dragon upgrades, and walls that laugh at your damage.

Keep your spirits focused, stack your totems in pairs, and eventually... even that infinite wall will crack.
