Just make sure none of the white enemies are still alive when you hit the base. Easier to happen than you think...
Startoff is pretty much spamming Can Can, Tourist, Glass to stall and damage the enemies. Try to use Bahamut on Mr. Mole if you have an opening. He has the most KB and highest range, so if you're not careful, you might accidentally push him to base later on. Everything will slowly die off. Once Dober dies, use Glass and Breakerblast to keep Mr. Mer back, and get Can Can and Bahamut hits on Mr. Mole. When you use Tourist, don't spawn any meatshields so Tourist can get attacked by Mr. Mer and die.
Stage is easy after hitting the base: just tap the rest of the cats.

![Minecraft 1.7 Sword Tower/World Record Tower (WRT) Guide and Tutorial
Mostly just me rambling about the game, but I hope you can get something out of this. Originally ran for an hour long, but I edited it down to just 38 minutes :) Anyway, this is a guide for 1.7 sword towers intended for pre 1.9 runners and beginners. I know that the meta has shifted to fall towers recently, but this tower is always a fun one to do and can still get world record with good luck.

Additional Information/Resources:
- The original concept of sword towers was invented by Cscuile. Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Cscuile
- For an indepth explanation of why ledge is useful, check out T_Wags video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxaxeLwMBk
- More accurate explanation of why ladders dont work after falling from specific heights: it checks every tick for a ladder but you fall multiple blocks per tick at high speed so you can skip a ladder between ticks (Toby).
- World Record Tower (WRT) was the original name designated to this design by Cscuile, but the term sword tower has fallen into use more commonly nowadays
- This video by Thomas (https://youtu.be/glVXDr_Ck9s) used to be the go to tower strats guide, but has since become a little outdated so that is why I decided to make this video as an update to the information on that one. The video does include a nice chart of the resources needed to build the tower, so that is a useful piece of information to check.
- I only mentioned one variant of crit tower because I dont really know much about them, so keep in mind there are other versions of the tower. I may even link some once someone builds them in video format. Minecraft 1.7 Sword Tower/World Record Tower (WRT) Guide and Tutorial](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oheZQsMeL_M/mqdefault.jpg)
