Event Info
Each tree has a set number of floors. The Sun Tree has 50 and the Dream Tree has 100.
Additionally, if you completely fill your Grove Portal to 100%, you'll also open a portal to the rare Death Tree. The portal will only remain open for 5 minutes.
You can fill the Grove Portal by completing monster encounters within each Tree. Defeating bosses found every 10 floors will also count towards your Portal.
Finally, you can also use the event item, Sun Tears, to fill your Portal a set amount.
There are 120 floors within the Death Tree.
- On October 28, 2013, the Portal to the Death Tree will close and will instead lead to the Elder Tree. This change will take affect at the end of the Head Start Rankings.
Spend Training Pts to make your way through each floor. Once a floor has been 100% cleared, the way will open to the next floor.
Every 10 floors, you'll encounter a boss. Defeat the boss to proceed further into the Tree.
Defeating a boss will earn you a variety of rewards. Defeat the boss on the final floor of each tower to receive an event-exclusive rare card.
There are number of different cards you can receive and you can clear trees multiple times to get a new reward. However, most rewards will be awarded at random starting from the second playthrough of a given tree.
Finally, some floors will also award you with event-specific titles. Good luck!
- Units will not gain experience by clearing floors.
- All rewards will be sent to your Inbox.
- Event-exclusive Titles can be found on your Profile page under Edit Title ? Achievements.
- You cannot receive the same title more than once.

You will also have a small chance to encounter the powerful Golem.

Fighting Bosses Within the Elder Tree Event
You will encounter a boss every 10 floors within the Tree.
You can deploy one of your own units, as well as the leader units of three of your allies, in a boss fight.
Losing a boss battle will not incur Cooldown, but you will be sent 2 - 5 floors back within your current tree.
The exact number of floors you will be sent back is determined at random.
You can challenge bosses as often as you'd like. They will not regenerate HP between battles.
Each boss has its own element (Land, Air, Sea).
Take advantage of this to get the upper hand in battle.
Special units like those included in the Season 4 Dream Packs, will receive a bonus to ATK strength when deployed in boss battles within the Elder Tree event.
Only your units, and the leader units of your allies, will be eligible to earn an ATK strength bonus in this fashion.
