Five-round checkpoints
Officially confirmedProgress saves every five rounds, starting from rounds 1, 6, 11, and later checkpoints.
Confirm the live resume conditions before starting a run.Strategy guide
Build a repeatable Season III Endless Tower route around checkpoints, scroll choices, extra weapons, and the failure that ends the run without inventing a fixed floor, reward, or mutation table.
Best for: Season III players pushing farther in Endless Tower or leveling through a stable Tower route
Quick Answer
The Season III Endless Tower has checkpoints every five rounds, supports an extra weapon, adds new ores and scrolls, and includes Boss Mutations. Use each run to identify the first repeated failure: take survival when deaths stop progress, damage when the run is safe but slow, and rotation or positioning changes when skills or space fail. Choose reward and upgrade paths only from the current Tower panel because fixed floor rewards, mutation effects, and entry conditions are not published here.

The embedded video supports the visible examples in this guide. It is not used as proof of an exact rate, fixed formula, or guaranteed reward.
Decision 1
The S3 Endless Tower appears in the public place roster. Update 11 says players can bring an extra weapon, find new ores and scrolls, face Boss Mutations, and return from every fifth round without Fast Pass. Those systems make a repeatable route more valuable than an unplanned push: a reliable checkpoint is a better starting point for testing than a one-off run that cannot be reproduced.
Progress saves every five rounds, starting from rounds 1, 6, 11, and later checkpoints.
Confirm the live resume conditions before starting a run.Season III Tower allows an additional weapon.
The current available choices and interaction rules must be checked in the run.Update 11 adds each as part of the returning Tower.
No fixed drop table, scroll list, or mutation-effect list is published here.Decision 2
Do not optimize from the Tower's highest visible round. Start from the first place where the same run repeatedly ends and name the cause. The answer determines whether the next change is survival, damage, or execution. This framework works even when the exact floor reward table changes, because it measures the route rather than assuming a universal build.
Choose survival, spacing, healing, or a safer route first.
More paper damage has little value when the build cannot reach the next checkpoint.Test damage uptime, completed skill rotations, or an offensive choice.
Compare the same Tower segment after one change rather than replacing every item.Test cooldown timing, movement, and the extra-weapon role.
A useful rotation creates another safe cast or exit window; do not judge it from a menu number alone.Decision 3
Season III Tower has new scrolls, while the current public evidence does not establish a complete list or a universal tier order. Read every live tooltip and select the effect that addresses the next failure. A rare offensive option can be weaker than a survival option when attrition prevents reaching the next checkpoint; the reverse is true when survival is stable and the route stalls on clear speed.
Decision 4
The extra weapon is most useful when it covers a known gap in the primary weapon's rotation: spacing, a safe damage window, mobility, or a response to a specific encounter. Boss Mutations should be handled from their live effect text rather than assumed from their name. When either choice changes, test the same checkpoint again to see whether it improves the real failure instead of creating a different one.
Decision 5
Update 11.1 increases Season Vouchers earned from Endless Tower after first-clear rewards are claimed and extends the 2x Event to the Tower. These are reasons to revisit a stable Tower route, not proof of a fixed experience-per-floor formula. Use a route only while it produces the resource or practice needed for the next confirmed upgrade, then compare it with the current dungeon path.

FAQ
Update 11 says progress saves every five rounds, allowing returns from rounds 1, 6, 11, and later checkpoints without Fast Pass. Verify the current resume conditions in the Tower panel.
Choose survival when deaths or attrition prevent reaching the next checkpoint. Choose damage when survival is already stable but the route cannot clear efficiently. Test one change on the same Tower segment.
Update 11 confirms Boss Mutations exist, but the reviewed official record does not publish a complete effect list. Read the current live mutation text before changing the build.
Use a stable Tower route when it produces the progression resource or practice your next upgrade needs. This guide does not claim a fixed experience or reward amount per floor because the current live values need checking in game.
