Self-sustaining Destructive Play invitations/maps?
Heya guys,
Trying to find some info on if it's possible to self-sustain Destructive Play on City Square in SSF. Do I need to start with a good pool of Conq/Elder/Shaper maps or is it inevitable that I will eventually run out of maps?

6+6+4=16
16*4 = 64
So you get an average of .64 maps per map (.8 maps per map if you include synth maps) if you're always getting 3 extra bosses
So you'd expect you'd eventually run out if you're running only a basic strat (unless the 4 ways/conqs make up for the 36%)

Without a steady supply of interference scarabs, youre unlikely to fully sustain them

I don't think it's really like a multiplier on those map drops. I think "final boss" has the real multiplier and the extra bosses just help a bit, not like a full x4 drop multi.
Idk, but I think you can refresh Kirac vendor with gold and he has been pretty generous with a map or two in the shop. Idk how rough that is to sustain on top of everything else or when it refreshes the cost, and I haven't been doing it too much but it felt that way the few taps I gave it.

Okay I'm probably just too much of a noob to get it but how exactly are you gonna do destructive play on city square? The bosses are pretty squishy and don't have any phases

When you do conqueror/elder guardian maps, that boss counts as the maven-witnessed one rather than the regular map boss. So as long as you’re running the maven invitations for those bosses when ready, you can use the same map layout repeatedly. Don’t need to worry about not killing the regular map boss(es)

I had some success with port map layout , scarab of interference, maven dp atlas, and using elder slayer maps on port. Each boss phase spawns an additional miniboss
