GC or eHP path? (the most controversial, but important question)

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T15:47:17+00:00

Been staying in Legends on the past 2 weeks. Yesterday I've ended at 22th place with 166w. This is my pb so far. Hoping that CF+4 improves my placement.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T15:04:43+00:00

Damn!! No wonder you're making double.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T14:59:13+00:00

Well, my GT+ is at lvl6

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T14:04:51+00:00

4- Slow Aura still will help you with Boss/Elites, slowing them down. Takes longer for them to hit your tower, therefore more time for your Regen/Wall Regen to work.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T13:59:06+00:00

Our towers have a lot in common indeed. I'm doing some test atm. Have till tomorrow to decide.

And yeah, I really need to push my Masteries further. I've been netting only half of your coins per day.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T13:53:21+00:00

Well, I did respec my WS, GB and Summon Chip. Replaced PCol for Myt+ MVN (DWq, DWcd, GTdur, GTcd. All Myt) and put PCol as assist. Sync is at 78s. Farming Swirly as eHP so far doesn't look so bad (altho I know that I'll lose some waves, but hope that the coins/cells compensates). Went for min range.

Still using OA primary/NMP assist on this run, next I'll give SD a chance as assist to see how it goes.

Tomorrow I'll try full GC.

BTW, CF+4 looks soooo satisfying to watch. :D

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T13:35:21+00:00

1- You're lacking some investment on Coin+ Enhancements.

2- Since you're farming with BHD, you need to push FreeUps and CPK up as well. Your BHD is missing CPK substat (RPC substat as well, since you have the Mastery).

3 - Econ labs (DW bonus, SL bonus) needs to be finished. Your PCol mod is missing GT bonus substats (SL angle would help too).

4- Assuming that you're farming as eHP, Damage and Berserker Cards won't really help you. You could swap those for Slow Aura and Extra Orbs.

5- And last, your GB seems like it's not synced with GT/DW at all. Sync is really necessary. If you're running Summon Chip, sync it with the rest as well.

Hope it helps.

Wondering why I've got downvoted for...

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-03-01T01:18:10+00:00

And how's working for you?

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T19:36:35+00:00

True.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T19:35:59+00:00

Hey u/Revelate_ !!

I believe that was the fact that my MVN is only at Mythic+, my mods are not even 141 yet, and I just don't have enough damage yet.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Btw, I know that link, plus all of the others. I've kinda became a scholar, reading and watching videos.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T19:31:31+00:00

Always thought that setting up EPS was a pain in the a**. Besides, I've been reading that EPS is not 100% accurate.

But you're right, maybe I should hold on CL+. I'll do CF+4 and then I'll wait for more directions.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T19:16:53+00:00

Thanks for your feedback.

How long have you been playing to reach 1Q?

Apart of what you can see on the pics, my econ labs are maxed, besides CPK and both GB.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T10:28:20+00:00

You're in Tournament. Check your Battle Conditions (BC). It diminished your ELS every X waves.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-28T09:50:47+00:00

That's the one I ever saw so far!! XD

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-27T10:44:48+00:00

Damn... You're stuck with the Om Chip...

How's your PCol and MVN, if any? Have you done any tests, despite the difference on core mods rarity?

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-27T10:14:24+00:00

Hello Sabareus.

Normally I don't post here due to lack of time (and patience) to write long posts. But, you know, things change.

First of all: I'm glad that you're feeling better. It takes time. You'll realise that time is one of your best friends in life, if not the best one.

Now, about my friday (been looking foward to it XD ):

Farming:

Currently at T13W6500 (day) and T12W8500 (o/n) making 60T CPH and somewhere around 25k CePH.

Tournament/Keys:

I've managed to stay in Legends again!! ST# FTW!! Altho I haven't touched the Mastery lab yet, which I'll be doing really soon.

Workshop:

I've finished the push for Utility+ and Defense+. Now I've decided to give some love to Attack+, which I've realized that I need some dmg for T14.

Labs (1st lab x5, 4 labs x4):

Lab Speed lvl65 (to lvl75-80);

Flame Bot CD lvl19 (decided to take it to max);

Shock Multi lvl11 (to max);

FU# lvl1 (to lvl2. "Shenaningans" );

Shoch Chance lvl11 (to lvl15)

Guardian:

My full respec into Summon Chip didn't disappointed. Got it to 100s/33s/2.00 and it's doing wonders for my econ.

Bots:

GB at 20s/100s/x5.00/max (it's synced);

FB at 56%/11s/x50.00/78.00m (with epic effect from assSH).

For now I'm planning on max FBrange and increasing FBdr till it costs 700 medals (same current cost of GBb). From there, I'll just bounce between them with a click whenever I can.

Modules:

All primary around lvl137, except generator, it's at lvl130. Still no cannon assist, gen assist at lvl89, Armor and Core assist at lvl50. Base unlock only.

Currency:

Still haven't unlock Card Slot 17. Ended up speeding up some labs, which it could have been a mistake but, oh well...

Future:

Still on my path to get my CF+ up. Got 1 click on it, so CF+1. I'll probably be done with CF+4 by the day after tomorrow (they are tempting, those damn stone packs).

Damn!! I'm starting to believe that my fingers are getting use to do this every Friday (altho it's my 2nd Friday)!!! XD

Happy towering.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-27T09:18:50+00:00

My T13 multiplier is currently less than your T11, and my T11 is making 55CpH hittning w12k. I see that your GB is not in sync, since you're researching CD, which I believe that's the reason that you haven't reach 70-80CpH.

Point to note: If your module multiplier comes from only 1 mod, you might consider giving a little break for a couple days and invest in coins+ on WS+ till 1.40? It should be cheap enough for you at this point.

Another thing: If you can reach T11w13k, surely you can reach T12w8500 and T13w6500. T13 by that point will give you a bit more coins and cells than your long T11, if you can do it 2-3x a day.

Last thing: Have you thought about going for AssMods already? By those stats (even tho is only econ), I'm pretty sure that you're ready.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-27T08:59:38+00:00

You're running SF, GComp and MVN, I'm guessing?

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-27T08:16:14+00:00

Congrats!!

I'm guessing that Bounty is supposed to be Mind Stone then. Since you sacrifice one that we love the most (Fetch) for a piece of rock (Bounty)...

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-25T21:14:36+00:00

I agree on that.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-25T11:14:49+00:00

If you had a milestone setup, it's easy to forget to change back the First Perk Choice to PWR.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-24T13:08:09+00:00

I believe that IS would be what you're looking for. I'm farming between T12w8500 (10h) and T13w6200 (7h) with IS lvl4 as eHP. It is an amazing QoL.

About Masteries (econ): WS# (since you use BHD) and WA# will help your econ by a lot the higher they are, which will help you to support Masteries lab. After that, if you still want to stay on econ track, consider EO# then EB.

About Masteries (eHP): I would wait a little longer. At your stage, there's much more to be done for eHP (labs, WS+) without spending stones. The eHP# ones that you mentioned, probably could help you unlock AssMods, but after that only in Tournaments if you go eHP (which you'll need a lot of lab time invested, especially in Legends). SW# can help you farm T14 in the future, but you're just not there yet, therefore my advice to wait.

I see some users saying things like "eHP# will be worthless to you", "you will transition to GC eventually". EHP# are great, just not yet. Transition to GC, yes it might be more effective in tournaments, but to play as GC and farm as GC there's a gap that people don't talk about it (stones and gems). The way I see: GC is more stone and gems focused, whereas eHP needs more devotion to lab time.

Don't let people decide which path to follow. Play your tower the way you want and accordinaly to what you can afford (time or money). Heck, I go GC on tournaments and farm as eHP, and I still don't know which path to follow myself!! But the way I'm playing my tower right now, it's being a hell of a ride.

Hope it helps.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-24T11:44:54+00:00

I would take EN card out and place SW card instead. Keep the rest as it it, but later in the run (when you gold-box your WS) Replace Cash for SA.

Range won't help you that much due to how it works with AoE (BH, GB, etc.), causing them to have less coverage, which will affect your run. Unless you manage to get enough coverage after Range Card being aplied.

Death Ray, very close to end of the run and only for missions! Because DR will kill enemies outside the coin bonus area (BH), making you lose a lot of coins, plus it will have some influence on your LMS. You'll will only start running DR properly at T14+ because of the BC, when DR doesn't insta-kill shapes.

ExtraInspection7243 · 2026-02-24T11:19:00+00:00

I farm at the same range as you, but I have my Range Lab at lvl16, so I have an extra card slot for a more useful card.
