*Guide & Notes*
----------------------------
First, as you can see in the video, I'm using the Windbreaker talisman. Like last season, it won't recharge on its own between fights, so it's definitely been nerfed. Unfortunately, there aren't any good "free" talismans other than Windbreaker this time around that can actually make a dent in high level enemies, so you'll probably want to make your own. On a positive note, the Invincible relic from season 3 is back and works just as well as it did before. We're going to put that to good use in the seasonal tower to get as many rewards as we can while making it somewhat easier to stay alive against high level enemies and abusive modifiers.
*Start off by beating the final invasion boss* in order to get your hands on the key item needed to break the special barriers found on each map. You'll need to get past those barriers to get both the Windbreaker talisman and the Invincible relic.
After beating the boss (or even before if you prefer), *take a moment to reset your stat points* by purchasing a White Enenra Core from the vendor at the Wu Shi Academy map. Make sure your character has 15 points in Special and 25 points in Health because you'll need that to equip the Invincible relic. Put the rest of your stat points into Attack in order to make upcoming fights a lot easier.
From there, immediately go back to the Tarkatan Colony map and find the electric barrier. Use the key item you got from the invasion boss to break the barrier, then follow the path straight to the end until you hit a stage with the "Iced Out" klue. I was able to solve this by using Sub-Zero and spamming his Ice Ball special move as much as possible, then finishing the fight with his Brain Freeze fatality (probably not required but it worked for me). Open the chest hidden behind this stage's barrier to *get the Invincible relic.*
As a quick note, the relic works by making all damage go to your meter instead of your health bar, and as long as you're in critical health (red flashing bar) your meter will recharge almost instantly. *This makes you pretty much invincible* and as long as no health is ever taken from your health bar, it still counts as a flawless victory if you win. This means that you'll almost always get the flawless victory bonus rewards at the end of a fight, which makes grinding a little bit easier. The only thing to keep in mind is that because bosses have two rounds that heal you in between, you'll lose the meter recharge perk until you're sent back to critical health. Damage will still be taken from your meter until it runs out though, so if you're careful, you can still get a flawless victory pretty easily with the relic equipped against bosses.
*Next is the Windbreaker talisman,* even though a lot of you are going to want to make your own because the Windbreaker talisman won't recharge automatically between fights. It's still handy to have and can be useful against harder enemies, just be mindful of when you use it so that you aren't going broke recharging it all the time. Luckily it's easy to get; just go to the Living Forest mesa after beating the final invasion boss, follow the path near the end of the map until you reach the electric barrier, break it and follow that new path up into the corner of the map until you reach a tower called "So we meet again". With the Invincible relic it shouldn't be a problem, and once you beat it, you'll be rewarded with the Windbreaker talisman.
*Now you can to go to the seasonal tower.* You won't get much if any experience for the individual fights, but you will get currency, and every time you beat the tower you'll get 4000 victory XP which should help level your fighters and kameos. You'll also be rewarded exclusive skins every few fights (last season it was every 3 fights, up until Seasonal Tower Level 90). Make sure you have the Invincible relic equipped, your stats allocated properly and either the Windbreaker talisman or your own better alternative, then just keep at it. Try to get brutalities for additional currency rewards on top of your flawless victory bonuses too!
Best of luck and thanks for watching!
