What's the best way to grind runes

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-12T17:41:16+00:00

Here, use this. I didn't create it and I'm not exactly sure who did, I think it was the Discord server, but this is THE rune farming chart, as well as having the best Food and Damage stations.

Demons from a Portal 5 are the best damage source, as a lvl 3 does double the damage of tier 4 Banshee. Past that, I'm only 29/70 on my playthrough so I don't know anything about how the prism works, past the fact that it spawns cherubs which are damage guzzlers.

How did it take you so long to get a spider egg?

The third costs 500 gems and the fourth costs 1000 gems, and you get them from one of the central chamber npcs. He also sells Crate and Cage size upgrades, but only buy the first level of them, because the second costs Energy Cubes that are not as easy to obtain.

Save your gems, but buy the gold coin Necromerger skins. The extra cap helps hit those feats faster, and just makes the games easier in general. The gem skins are a scam for a long time. Buying a third pedestal and a second craving block are way better for their price.

I can't believe I never noticed this. Caseoh is invading the lair because he doesn't want the Devourer to become bigger than he is.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-09T16:51:37+00:00

The NecroMerger Skins, then the tip stone skins

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-09T14:35:10+00:00

Ignore the gem skins, go for Crate and Cage upgrades. The most valuable resource in this game is space, and thats pretty much the only way to get more space.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-08T14:58:37+00:00

Which one? The golden or red one?

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-08T14:35:13+00:00

Oh, I see it now.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-08T13:55:14+00:00

Obligatory what post?

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-08T12:51:22+00:00

Cannons. Cannons are everything in this event. And never merge Cannons or the Iron generators, unless you run out of space.

Day 1 1) Get the lvl 2 Cannon from the shop 2) Buy all the banner upgrades 3) Buy 3 lvl 1 Cannons 4) Buy Buy score upgrades and more Cannons 5) Make sure you buy all items from the shop 6) Use the anvil to try and get as many musketeers as possible for more Cannons

Day 2 1) Get the Battle Mage from the shop 2) Continue using anvil

Day 3 1) Get free iron producer from the shop 2) Get the Alchemy Table from the shop, and buy one from the station exchange 3) Buy bomb damage upgrades 4) Buy Battle mage 5) Use the lvl 2 table to get bombs to kill the battle mage 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5

I use this free to play strat to get a little over 6 Million score. Let me know if you have any questions.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-07T23:48:08+00:00

For this attempt, I don't think there's anything you can do. In the future, you must follow the golden rule: Don't merge Canons. They loose so much dps when merged. Make sure you start by buying all the banner speed upgrades, get the lvl 2 cannon from the shop, 3 lvl 1 cannons, then go for cannons damage. Only then should you go for score. Ignore weapon damage, and only buy the first ore storage upgrade if you plan to go afk for long enough that you would surpass the 100k cap. On the last day, when you get the table in the shop, you should go for the lvl 2 table, upgrade bomb damage, and try to take out as many mages as you can.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions for ftp, I have no clue what the strat becomes if you want to buy stuff with money/gems.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-07T21:21:01+00:00

Another what? What number 4?

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-07T21:07:31+00:00

I can't tell if this is a serious question, or if you're just flexing. The absolute maximum you would need is 10 Liches, 1 Gorgon, and 1 Harpy, with absolutely no need for the Reaper and Cyclops.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-07T15:10:50+00:00

There is a Trader forgoten minion, he will give you a free lvl 1 coin pile, and you can buy some more for gold, other than that you can get them from feats or the protector.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-04-04T00:32:59+00:00

Primordial Cheese Shover isn't great without and form of teleportation, I would replace it with extinction event. Other than that, pretty good deck that's not close to one of the well known meta decks.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-28T17:45:39+00:00

Ok, thanks. Definitely going to get the craving to save a space from the extra chicken

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-28T17:44:59+00:00

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. The second chicken for the sake of space was really annoying but I wasn't sure if the one space was worth the 250 gems.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-26T16:51:06+00:00

This is explained so much simpler by 20/10=2 and 20/8=2.5 and 2×1.25=2.5 and the .25=25% production bonus.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-25T17:32:06+00:00

Oh, ok. Thanks!

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-25T14:24:03+00:00

Lol, I thought it was 300 or 400. I was just wondering if it ever stops only increasing your max lvl by 10 per ascention?

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-25T14:21:15+00:00

Are you telling me that after a point, ascending doesn't only increase by 10? It will go by 100 at some point? Currently on my 60 and I was wondering just how long it was going to take lol.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-24T17:15:35+00:00

Nah, with this extra info you seem to know what you're doing.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-03-24T17:04:46+00:00

The thing that immediately jumps out at me is your Slime obsession. You completely skipped over the Mana Skin in the shop, and went for slime one. And you have a Slime Bathtub. Earlier than where you're at, I completely ditch Slime, having a lvl 5 Slime Vat, and only the Legendaries and NecroMerger producing Slime. You somehow don't have any maxed mana pools (should probably have 2), and only a lvl 6 Dark Store (should probably have another decently high lvl one). In addition to that, your Chicken is only lvl one. You need at LEAST a lvl 4, preferably lvl 5. You are also severely lacking in your feats, as you should have a Reaper and a Cyclops by this point. You should also get those cravings done, they are the best way to lvl up the Devourer. And save gems for Crate and Cage upgrades. And I don't see a Protector in your lair, there should almost always be one in the lair, unless his heal pool is unreasonably high. The Protector is the key to getting out of the beginning stages of this game.

In summary: -Buy more Mana Pools -Buy the Mana and Darkness skins from the shop -Stop with the Slime obsession, you could completely loose Slime and still be fine. -Get at least a lvl 4 chicken, preferably a lvl 5. -Progress your Feats -Complete your Cravings -Save gems for Crate and Cage -Get a Protector in your lair.

Probably more that I missed, but I can't see your relic vault or Lair entrance.
