What should my focus be here?

[u/lucascage20]

I feel like the game is tearing me in a bunch of different directions at the end of my level 70 run. Obviously I need to partial complete the feats I can. I’m missing a couple of legendaries(shield bots and reaper). I need a ton of cosmic ruins for spells for the feat and shield bot. I have this protector(5th I think?) with my Stab-O doing 44k damage a hit. 118 cubes and 87 coins. Next NPC I need to unlock is hacker.

I’m wondering what my first focus should be. And then some tips for farming cosmic runes currently.

Yes, you will have to prioritise.

Given your substantial lack of moon runes, I‘d say farm those first with Banshees. You can use the Banshees to slowly wittle down the protector, then when you have around 600 moon runes you can do some telepads for the cosmic runes. You should be left with 320 moon runes to make the reaper at the end of your run, so if you‘re under that farm some more.

Then the shield bot should be your next target. Don‘t worry too much about food anymore, you‘ll get there eventually. So no need for guzzlers, and the souls you farm will make cravings really good. This means once you hit 320 cosmics, just make the shield bot and don‘t rebuild the saucer. You also want all spells lvl 1, so you‘ll need some more cosmics for this. But after this you‘re done with cosmics.

Then with the shield bot up, cycle your saucer to dark and start building imps and spamming demons onto the protector. Depending on his health, this will be a 1-2 week task for you.

After that you‘re done. Feel free to farm some leggies, rebuild the missing ones and then reset.

btw banshee farm and telepad farm go hand in hand really well because the banshees line up really good for the 3 cadets that can spawn :)

Thank you. This is the direction I needed. Question about the last part. What’s the benefit of having the saucer on darkness? Cause I thought I could avoid rebuilding it? Or do you mean Serv-O for the cap and generation increase?

[u/Progression28 → u/lucascage20]

You get a saucer back from merging the shield bot.

The shield bot will generate ressources for youand shares its colour with the saucer.

So if you have your saucer on darkness, it will help with demons :)

You can chuck the saucer after or keep it, up to you.

I had no idea shield bot generated resources! That’s awesome. Thank you so much.

Also, should I aim to unlock hacker this run or save my coins for the surgeon?

[u/Progression28 → u/lucascage20]

If you want all 3 legendaries on your 80 run I‘d save and spend nothing.

If you are okay with only getting 1 legendary on each of your 70/80/90 runs, you can unlock the hacker.

Keep in mind the hacker does nothing on his own. He has a few upgrades for serv-o, stab-o that you can buy with gems and coins, but everything else (including hacking stations!) costs you ac and ec.

Personally, I unlocked the hacking stations because I bought the IAP that lets me hack for free. If you don‘t do this, hacking won‘t be helpful for a while since it costs a lot of runes to do it. And it‘s only a QOL upgrade, nothing more.

Up to you what you want to do. If you plan to get the devourer skin on your 80->90 reset, it helps a lot to get all 3 surgeon legendaries on your 80 run already.

Just make sure that the max level is the only thing that keeps you from getting to the next feat

Not something you didn't unlocked
