"Impossible" tower tips?

[Tolfdir]

I am new to the game, so forgive me if I am missing something obvious,. I am doing my character towers and in one of them, the final enemy is Scartlett, with 2 active modifiers: a scull that moves on the ground and series of 3 or 4 bats that fly in middle height. Both the scull and the bats heal the opponent quite fast and their cooldown is about 10 seconds. How am I supposed to beat this on "medium"?

You could try a couple things. Try switching your character to AI after googling AI builds. If you're new, chances are the AI is much better/faster than you. You'll need a good AI build. What character are you using?

Following that, if you wish to play it yourself or your AI fails, try using augments and konsumables that counter those sort of attacks in some way. My AI builds have so far got me thru several sets of towers for a few characters.

I play MIleena. Haven'd tried the AI because yet but the issue here is not that much speed but the fact that both modifiers heal the opponent like crazy.

How far into the towers are you? Which one is this? The difficulty does climb as you go.
I've just started messing with Mileena and I could throw my AI build at it if I'm not there yet.

It might be at least partly a speed thing. If they're healing, you have to out damage their heals or maybe get them out of the spot that heals them if it's a stationary aura.

It is the character-specific tower spot, top left, that you unlock fore 25000. After beating a bunch of towers with no problem got stuck in this one. All enemies okay except the final one - Scarlett, simply because a large scull moves forward and heals her when it hits me, AND strings of bats fly onto me, exploding and healing her as well. Just too much at once and block doesn't seem to help.

Just checked.. I beat that one on Mileena already with an AI character. I will confess there's no way I could beat some of those without AI :)

Here's my build if you want to try it. The default builds don't seem to be that good really. At least when it comes to anything non-basic.

Abilities:
Low Sai Blast
(Air) Soaring Sai
(Air) Tele-drop

AI Behavior:
10 in Rushdown
30 in Kombos
20 in Reversal

I may have had to use consumables, I can't really remember, but I did it immediately after making her to try this build so I had no augments.

Thanks. I was thinking to do in my my own because the AI seems like a bailout to me. But I guess they added the option for a reason: some fights are just too tough.

Yea... I can understand that feeling. Once you get decently good you can beat things the AI can't though. It's not THAT good and it cuts your score by .85 so it usually can't get top score in towers. Not that I have any experience being that good, mind. I've just been watching a lot of youtube trying to learn :) Hell, I can't even get past the tutorials!

Equip your gear with augments.

Every opponent in the Towers of Time has increased health on top of whatever modifiers are active. Equip anything that increases your damage done. Armor Clad is good as well, it's an Order Kyrstal augment that gives you armor.

Use Konsumables.

The combination of Red Dragon Beam Emitter, Bloodied Sai, Reiko's Shuriken can easily win any fight for you, just roll the right stick in a circle to use a random one and maybe throw a projectile or upper cut once in a while between konsumable uses. Bloodied Tonfa is good as well, and all four of those can be crafted in the forge of the Krypt.

Fights in the Towers of Time aren't designed to be fair, so fight dirty.
