If you hover over the icon, you'll learn the name of the Tower and the recommended level you should be before attempting to activate it. If you're only a single level below the recommended one, then we found that you can still take it on, just be prepared to throw everything you've got at the monsters guarding it.

For some Towers, the activation switch will be on the ground and for others you will need to climb up the Tower to find it.

Once you've activated a Remnawave Tower we strongly recommend climbing to the top of each one. At the top, you'll find some Shinra boxes. Destroy these to collect a couple of useful Moogle Medals.
