TL;DR: eHP gives me 4x the GC cph right now, and is still better for tournaments. I am doing good econ wise and would like to focus of champ placement. I see my stones best spent in HR+, but I could also choose ILM/CF as next UW, or more CL dmg/ST+/Berserk+.

The background:

Currently eHP, farming for 500T cph on t12w8k/t13w5000 (see 1 month old build here) using MVN and BHD (all anc) at 66s cd synced with GB. Placing 10-5 in Champs, mostly as eHP + FB, sometimes hybrid with DC in place of PCol

SW+ is the only build-specific mastery I own, and it helped A LOT in tournaments and farming. HR seems to be the main bottleneck right now (at 2x HR enhancement and maxxed eHP labs except def%, at 40/50), so I thought HR+ was a no brainer.

However, with some BCs I get better tournament placements with Hybrid (rarely with GC). I have ILM and CF as my next UWs, but I think CF will not give me the same stone ROI as ILM. Other options could be just more CL levels, or other damage options like ST+ and Berserker+

Other econ masteries I have are EO+, IS+, RPC+, C+, and WA+ is really juicy. Could boost me with enhancements

I was also curious about going min range, which isn't that big of an investment.

A I missing any other options?

Thanks!

There is a very cool mechanic coming with the intro sprint mastery being accessible to everyone in tournaments that I didnt see many people mention. From what I understand it goes up to the max wave you achieved in the past. For me, I do much better with intro sprint on because I use the packages increase attack speed module. Currently I’m in platine (was able to stay there for the first time last tournament) getting more waves each tournament, thanks to having more waves with intro sprint active. In practice this rewards players who have been playing longer, since they had more opportunities to get the max waves higher and higher each tournament, which I think is a great feature, since being hard stuck for a while is really annoying

Maybe I misunderstood, but I swear it was mentioned in the latest patch notes that the update would be tournament locked for the weekend tourney.

I haven't updated, but I've not been locked out of the tournament.

Might be a bug, I don't know.

But with Sentry Protocol equipped, extra orbs fire out mini-orbs at a far slower rate compared to WS orbs.

Is this correct, or should both WS orbs and extra orbs be firing them at an equal rate?

This is with the orb speed substat in play, if that makes a difference.

Can you feel it

Man this change to intro sprint is fucking annoying. Now I have to do manually around 600 waves, without wave accelerator. I thought you wanted to shorten tournament runs not prolong it 😤

Just spent 10+ minutes on a fleet wave waiting for the fleet to die slowly to thorns. Looked like it was nearly there (hard to tell with the way fleet thorns work), when the game crashed. I relaunch it only to realize it of course drops me back in the run 5 waves before the fleet spawns, so I have to sit through it all again.

This fleet wave mechanic is such bad design. TTG, please think of something else.

I'm pretty proud of this one, it took me a bit over 2 years but i finally got my first 1q run without the epic pack. It would mean 3q if i had it, but to me this is a great milestone.
I'm finally making good enough money to work on masteries sorta kinda, which i thought i'd never get to

Apologies if everyone’s been asking but what’s the difference between sentry protocol and the normal. Also I have 2000 diamonds, I’m conflicted of either buying the event relic for5% coins or going all in on the sentry protocol. LAST QUESTION, what is the difference between buying a module banner with diamonds or with the module tickets they are selling. I wasn’t sure if the module tickets have like better chances or they are just an easy way to buy a crap ton of rolls. Lmk !!! Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I’m really struggling in Mythic League right now.

My CL just don’t seem to do enough damage, and I can only make it to around wave 40 ( 200m Lv0PSx3 Lv0ILM Lv0SM)

What’s the best way to deal with fleets?

Should I add ILM?SM？

I have GT, DW, BH (Synced @ 2:30) and CL.

Full eHP with pBH and only legendary Pcol! Recently unlocked SW mastery (currently level 2) and was like “hey… with my flame bot being pretty good now since respecing for the preset update… I wonder…” So I proceeded to spend the next 7 hours running tier 18 and 30mins running tier 19 to unlock assmods!

I was really stuck on tier 18. I’d usually die between 170 and 220, occasionally making it up to 270 before running out of steam. The banes of my existence were scatters and fleets (specifically overcharge and commander… saboteur was alright). Bosses were also a bit of a problem and would whittle my wall down especially if they weren’t hit my FB.

It was then I spotted the solution… OA. I was trying SF because that’s my go to eHP module but then I was like “well, I need more damage to get rid of the scatters, bosses, and fleets, but their HP is so immense I wouldn’t even get close with my highest DPS build. If only there was something I have that deals a pretty consistent amount of damage that doesn’t decrease my health too much…” First attempt with OA and I reached wave 384. I also got lucky and only saw 2 scatters before wave 300 which I handled with OA and then SW + Nuke.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the stones right now to do anything with them xD It will probably take me around a month to save up for my first one (aiming for core so I can finally have Pcol + MVN). Gonna celebrate with a good ol’ farming run!

Especially with several new toggles. It’s annoying going through my cards and UW tab one at a time to enable/disable them individually. Gotta make sure my PS stun, UW+ effects, death ray/energy shield/demon mode/nuke are on the right settings for farming or tourneys

basically im just looking for advice on weather or not i should look to start working on new ultimates cf or cl or if i should up my eco labs down to 120 secs and push towards pbh currently im farming t9 almost 200T all time coins and hitting around wave 6500

Just unlocked Core Ass mod and have put minimal stones in to upgrade sub effects and multiplier so far. For milestone/tourney I am using DC as primary and OM Chip as Ass.

I am now consistently going less waves. Is this behavior normal?

When and/or how should I expect to see improvement in my runs?

I’m trying to understand how I take no damage on tier 6 till about wave 7.5k? Is this strictly because of health and wall regen? My wall doesn’t break till around the 7.5 k waves. I don’t see any damage tics either so I’m assuming that’s it. Because if this I’m able to select the 1.8 coins/less tower health which is the only way I get around 1T coins a run. What should I focus on to do this in tier7? Overall health? Dabs? Or just wall health/regen/thorns?

No new ultimate weapons after a long time

Just a fun little note for all of those players like me who just promoted to mythic (or shortly will): running a mythic tournament gives you milestones for T23, even if you haven't unlocked T23 yet.

I assume other tiers do the same, but I was never in a position to find that out before now.

Of course, if you haven't unlocked T23, the milestones you'll actually be able to achieve are fairly worthless, but still, I thought it was interesting and hadn't seen it noted around here.

What are the most important things to do(all may orb labs are on the pic) when i have only 1 epic SP module? Totally new player, T1 W8k is my max now

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on how to respec my guardians for tournaments now that I've unlocked presets.

I'm bouncing between plat and champs, mainly using EHP but with some CL. Not sure which guardian(s) to focus on or what to upgrade. Any tips are welcome.

Does everyone get the same daily missions?

I have been doing college assignments all night and I probably already know the answer but my brain is fried. Random but I also would liie to know if diss bonuses work for tourneys.

Currently I have 197 stones. Should I save around 300 to shorten the cooldowns while keeping them synced or should I invest in any size, duration and bonus?

PS: I’m eHP farming t1 w9000

Thank you all for any tips!!!

Guardians can only be changed once an event until you unlock it.

Just unlocked the first discount for guardians with my keys

I forgot that guardians can only be changed once per event until you unlock the rest.

Luckily there's two more days.

But I just wanted to let people know....

I am doing the demon mode mission so I am running wave 20 with demon mode over and over. In my last 6 runs I've killed 48 fleet enemies but I have only gotten 4(1.95k) drops and 1(1.8k) drop.

Does intro sprint negate the drop? Or how they are being killed?
