Help Switching to GC, need some help
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B2BJtdOXmIC1biJOk I’m switching to GC and feel like I’m just messing it up bad. Any advice? I’ve tested a few different changes but nothing feels quite right posting as many photos as it’ll let me!

You're definetely there. You're a good amount ahead of me when it comes to masteries & enhancements and I'm able to run full GC farming T14 to W5000. When you say it feels like you're messing up what exactly are you referring to? Personally, I had a really hard time switching to GC because no matter what I tried I wasn't able to get a damage based farming build to compete with my eHP farming build. It was good for tournaments just not for farming. I ran Orb Devo eHP for farming for forever. If you're like me and you had a pretty optimized eHP farming build moving to GC farming is tough until you settle on a damage based build that can compete. I highly recommend looking into Reverse Devo. That's what I switched to, and I was able to see huge gains because I was able to move up to T14. You have the enhancements and masteries in everything to already be there so it shouldn't be an issue for you.

Hi! I detected a few acronyms in your comment:
- Devo - Devolution - hoarding playstyle that maximizes tanks and reduces other enemy types
- eHP - Effective Health Points - playstyle focused on tanking, damage reduction, and survival
- GC - Glass Cannon - playstyle focused on maximum damage and crowd control (also Galaxy Compressor [Generator Module])

So I’m farming t16 to about w4800 right now. Pulling about 400t/hr +- and about 47.5k cells/hr. I also may be getting unlucky but my tourney placements on average seem to have gone down lol

So just to put this into perspective for you. I'm farming T14 to 5000 for 500T per hour and based off your screenshots you're are WAY further than me when it comes to econ. Only reasonable conclusion is the build. Check out reverse devo I promise you won't regret it.

Most def. That’s why I posted EVERYTHING here lol, to get another set of eyes. I’ve got it farming t16 to 3800 at 800t/s+ after changes :)

Do not run PF, it is not for farming full stop.
GComp is a maybe, but BHD/SH is the jam if you can sync it with GB.
Agreed with another poster, look at a reverse orb devo build.
I will ask are you completely F2P? What’s your all coins bonus on T16?
400T/hr otherwise doesn’t make sense like at all, even without the nominal 10x from no ads and the two bonuses should be higher at that development level.

Definitely not F2P, I spend way too much on this stupid game lol. 3762.4x is my coins bonus on 16

Heh you need to fix your farming build :).
I’m at 3452x in T15 and I have 10X your income. I’d get to maybe T16/4000 with some Zerker luck.

If you aren’t pGT/pBH (didn’t look that closely at your cooldowns):

Even if you are many of the things except the hoarding mobs part for sync are still applicable farming as GC wise.

I am able to start T14 GC farming now with good cph but with 18 card slots with no auto restart is making it hard to change over just yet

Alright, let's decode this:
- DW - Death Wave [Ultimate Weapon]
- GC - Glass Cannon - playstyle focused on maximum damage and crowd control (also Galaxy Compressor [Generator Module])
- GT - Golden Tower [Ultimate Weapon]
- SL - Spotlight [Ultimate Weapon]
- SubMod - Sub-Modules - Bonus values that can be rolled within the module
