# Battle Tower
The **Battle Tower** is a competitive PvE challenge where you battle through **increasingly difficult towers** across multiple competitive **Smogon tiers**. Each battle features an NPC opponent with a **dynamically generated party**, and you can choose to play in either **4v4** or **6v6** formats.
Each of the **five** tiers has **three** towers containing **eight** floors each, with each successive tower & floor increasing in difficulty and **Battle Point** rewards. Progress towards the completion of each tier/tower persists throughout the [season](#gym-seasons), so if you lose to a particular floor, your next attempt will resume at that same floor.
