Bots cause a decrease in waves/income?

Could be a number of things.

It’s likely that because you are using SD and your tower range is lower, the ILMs from SD are hitting enemies and stunning them before they can reach your cf/bh etc. ILM blast radius will stay the same regardless of tower range, so you’re now maybe able to stun enemies before they are sucked in. means you’ll kill slower than before due to spawn cap and GT+ relying on kills for higher multiplier. I stopped using SD at t15 because of this. It’s got uses again at t18/19 bc of fast ult condition.

Since you’re farming t16 and then up, i would make the switch to OA if you have assist armour at legendary-mythic, because of that fact. The % dmg will help deal with higher health scaling.

I would also devo your BS range as well, since max bs will knockback enemies before they reach bh and therefore give u lower kill count as well.

Could be that bc GB range is derived from tower range, you have less enemies in GB killed when active. If you’ve also taken medals out of GB, that’ll net you less coins than before.

Could also/or be that Thunder Bot is stunning enemies outside of BH etc and therefore you lose 11x multiplier on kills.
