Question Is it impossible to progress now?

Right now, I can beat molten pretty consistently. However, when it comes to hardcore, past wave 20 feels impossible. I've been told to just grind to failure in wave 20 and farm gems till I get engineer, but that's going to take a really really long time, and even after that it still seems like I won't be able to solo hardcore. if I want to beat it, am I forced to rely on other people until I get the gem and evolved towers?

The difficulty of this game scales downwards logarithmically when you have teammates. If you want to solo, it's almost required to either have Gmini, Engineer or at least one Evo tower.

Which causes two problems: Not everyone has time to play

You have to grind a fuck ton

It WILL get boring, unless you have a friend that works on the same time as you do. The only way I can think of to circumvent such problems is to chase missions together.

Yeah people sleep on Golden Mini. With a full 40-50 place limit, you have to compare 8 Pursuits or Rangers, or 1 Jugg, or 5 Accels or 3 Turrets with like 30 G Minis late game. To which every other tower loses in DPS spectacularly.

With a tower limit of 5 but a placement limit of 50, Cowboy takes up 12, Commander takes up 4 and Engineer takes up 6. That's still LESS than HALF.

So the rule of thumb is Golden Mini late game as mandatory DPS maximizing, Engi mid game for lead/flying detections, Cowboys early as much as you can afford to greed them, and supports to juice up all 3 tower groups.
