AION 2 Awakening Battle
Awakening Battle is the altar-tower mode — 6 towers, each with a stack of difficulty tiers from Easy up to the Chapter-1 Doom tier (38 tiers in all). Higher tiers tighten the death limit and time limit; every run feeds one shared reward ladder scored by points. (Not to be confused with Nightmare, the solo boss-challenge tower.)
