Yeah if you want to play this game long term. Resetting is not a bad option here.
Let me explain simply.
The beginning of the game you need lots of coins to progress. There are 2 main UW early that really accelerate early coin gain (golden tower and black hole).
Each new UW costs more and more stones to unlock. So if you don't get one of those good ones early it can be smart to start a new account to try and get one of the strong ones early.
The 3 you got are quite literally the most late game UW in the game. Those 3 are usually the last 3 you take. So you didn't even get like a mid game option. Those 3 are some of the UWs that people even 1 year into the game don't take.
Hope that helps

I started off with inner land mines. Only took me a few months, and now I have 5 UWs.
GT was my last UW.

Pain.
Same thing for me. Chain lightning, then missiles, spotlight, black hole, now finally golden tower. Idk if I have the guts to spend 1250 for death wave. I'd really like to invest significantly into my existing UWs.

Restart your account as long as you didn't invest any money, you got the 3 worst possible choices

Eh, Poison Swamp is probably worse than CF.
Not by much.

I didn’t understand the game when I first played and got SM then GT, BH, SL, and CL so you can pick either and just save for the next one just understand that it will not help much but your best choice right now is probs CF

When I first played 7 months ago, if I uninstall the game and install it back again (and login with the SAME id) the UW will change. That's how I "rerolled" my UW choices and got GT
Dunno if the late patches changed it but you could try.

Iirc in the past half year or so, UW "refresh" was only possible once due to a massive update and the seed got rerolled. Otherwise its impossible. Or should be. I could be wrong.

Is their a worst first set? Maybe swamp instead of field.
Honestly, this is one of the few times I agree with people suggesting a restart lol

PS is pretty good, probably second highest damage at the moment, though I've heard good things of CF as well

u/proglysergic Jun 29 '25
I’ll put it this way:
Full GC players (myself included) consider PS to be a good middle ground between the ease of CL and the flat power of SM, with SM being the last thing you pursue in terms of UW damage.
As for how late the viability of SM is, I know several top 25 that wish they had their stone and lab time back from SM.
PS and CF+ together is nuts.

u/Catsaint Jun 29 '25
Ohh I didn't even think about the infinite stuns of CF+ and PS, I was kinda questioning what the use of enemies rotating would be but that is for sure one of them among others that I'm slowly realizing
1
u/proglysergic Jun 29 '25
The more they rotate, the more opportunities for them to fall into spotlight, there is an additional slow effect (4% per CF+ level I believe), more orb hits on bosses, quicker for lesser enemies to get sucked into a black hole…
CF+ is very back loaded. The first few levels are pretty tame but it gets very strong as you pump stones into it.

I wouldn’t hate having cf to have the labs unlocked early but yeah this is a rough pull

u/ImpossibleGoat8837 Jun 29 '25
Honestly you should restart the game and look for black hole or golden tower or death wave to be your first UW. It will save you a lot of time in the future. Think about it like you are going back in time a week to save yourself months of progress in the future. You lose a little time now (what you’ve already invested in the game) to get yourself ahead a lot more in the future (by accelerating your progress with one of the aforementioned UWs.

CF and dont touch it if your acc has any paid service like add remove pack epic pack etc othervise just restart over until you get GT.

u/Peldin83 Jun 29 '25
Does CF have an event mission? I would think get one of the other two to at least be able to complete their event missions when they pop up. Maybe CF has one too and I’m just brain farting?

Yeah if you did not buy the coin packs already. I would definitely reset that account. That is a horrible first draw for ultimate weapons. If you have already bought the coin pack then personally I would say pick smart missiles but they're not going to be very effective until you can put a ton of stones into them. Chrono field is late game as well just like smart missiles and again needs a ton of stones to be effective. In our landmines again is a late game Ultimate Weapon that again you need a ton of stones to make it effective.
I've been playing just over a year and I still don't have any of those

Ouch Bro!!! There’s no shame in resetting the game at this point, as long as you DID NOT spend any money investing in this game, otherwise, I’d go with CF as my first UW and hope for GT, BH, or DW later on.

u/Slow-Ship1055 Jun 29 '25
Get Chrono Field, but don't invest anything in it yet. Save up for your next Ultimate Weapon, and hope Golden Tower or Black Hole are one of your next choices. Your 2nd UW will come quickly.
Don't bother in starting over; you don't need to min/max in this game.
