I've heard they're ...somewhat broken, but I think I saw somewhere that ...something about them was fixed. I'm not sure what though ...or if I just saw that while dreaming or something. s:
Anyways ...would someone be able to tell me what the current problems of an ego tower is? ;;
All of the threads about ego towers that I could find were old ...and possibly outdated.

The problem with a tower cylinder ego is that it's exactly what it says on the tin; it suffers from the bad parts of both egos and tower cylinders and doesn't give anything for it.
Ego cylinder bonuses arn't as good as regular cylinder bonuses, I believe they affect the secondary damage or the elemental modifier or something really tiny in the formula which makes a regular Tier 2/demonic cylinder better.

They were glitched as in they applied to golem size in KR when the Vate patch first came out. However, this was since patched thus tower cylinders can be thrown to the dumpster again as egos :<
The problem is that the bonus is the same as a regular cylinder and thus offers no benefits as an ego weapon.

I mainly want an ego just to have one ...and to use when I feel like using it. So ...from the sounds of a tower cylinder, I like the idea. I don't want an ego that I'm going to want to use often. I hate repairing egos, too much time and effort. o.e But ... there's two main problems I've heard about that I'm not sure if they're still around.
First problem I heard was the awakening ...I heard that was fixed, though I don't know if that was just something I imagined. Second problem ...I heard the ...ego modifier doesn't work for heat buster, on a tower cylinder. I'm not sure if that was ever fixed, or if it's really even a problem.

Do you even use regular tower cylinders often? Do you find those advantage in any way?
That is pretty much how your ego will be like most of the time.

To sum things about egos, the only thing worth the resource is probably ego bow. And you can still get by with special upgraded bows.
Ego cylinders and ego one handed axes are probably the lulziest choices.

Better off investing in a Demonic Abyss/Hellfire.
The "Elemental" bonus only effects Watercannon's and Flameburst's additional damage, see below.

As much as I love the concept of Tower cylinders, they'll fall behind, especially when Vate update comes around.

As much as I love the consent of Tower cylinders, come Vate they'll be left in the dust due not being equitable with Guard cylinders.

Mmm ...Alright, Thanks for the info. I'll hold off on getting a new ego then. I currently have a machete ego, but I don't ever use it. It's kinda just there as a place to throw stuff that I don't want. xD
