A9 progression route

Level 1–80: move by readiness, not grind.

Seven static stages connect current region levels, fast-travel anchors and verified tower checkpoints. This chooses the next leg; it does not navigate every step.

How to read the evidence

Tower levels and the seven-stage skeleton are verified 1.0 research anchors. Region ordering is an in-site inference from the cell-derived level surface and fast-travel geometry.

  1. Lv 1–10

    Build the first base and capture foundation

    Stage link

    Secure materials, a ranged weapon and supplies. Replace early work or combat Pals as you go; do not detour for rarity.

    Route regions

    Tower checkpoint

    Lv 10 · Zoe & Grizzbolt

    Verified 1.0 Normal-mode level anchor. The named Towerwatch chapter will link here when published.

    Local habitat candidates

    Candidates come from current habitat coverage, not a claim of a unique best team. Filter them by the attack roles above.

  2. Lv 10–20

    Learn the five-minute tower rhythm

    Stage link

    Catch Chillet, prepare a Ground damage role, and use the first tower to learn movement and sustained output.

  3. Lv 20–30

    Add Fire, then Ice and Ground coverage

    Stage link

    Use Fire for Lily, then arrive at Axel with both Ice and Ground attack coverage. This is the first two-role checkpoint.

  4. Lv 30–40

    Upgrade the Water role through normal capture

    Stage link

    Replace the Water slot with a locally catchable upgrade before Marcus. A one-off breeding detour is optional, never required.

    Lv 40 · Marcus & Faleris

    Verified 1.0 Normal-mode level anchor. The named Towerwatch chapter will link here when published.

  5. Lv 40–55

    Dragon first, then add Dark coverage

    Stage link

    Use Dragon coverage for Victor, then add Dark coverage for Saya. From here, check weapon tier, ammunition, repairs and healing before every tower.

    Tower checkpoint

    Lv 55 · Victor, then Saya

  6. Lv 55–68

    Fire, then Ice and Electric for Sunreach

    Stage link

    Use Fire for Bjorn, then carry both Ice and Electric coverage into Auri. Sunreach details must come from 1.0 evidence, not old Feybreak guides.

    Lv 68 · Bjorn, then Auri

    Verified 1.0 Normal-mode level anchor. The named Towerwatch chapter will link here when published.

  7. Lv 68–80

    Validate the team at World Tree, then finish at 80

    Stage link

    Use World Tree mission fights as the durability check. The final boss has no verified elemental weakness; prioritize effective damage uptime, weapons, survival and movement.

    Route regions

    World Tree uses a separate map, so it is a destination after Sunreach rather than a fabricated region mask.
