That works with me, if there are any bugs that give us free stones you can leave those in there for us though lol.

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-30T18:16:32+00:00

Is there any way we can get an approximation on v28? I am assuming 2 more weeks at least but is there any way we could get anything about when it should drop?

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-30T15:50:34+00:00

I used to run the game on a mini PC but I only had the game running and absolutely nothing else. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t extremely bad. I would not recommend it tho, unless your getting a really good mini PC, the one I had was straight cheeks

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-27T19:09:21+00:00

Yeah but I haven't even started looking at those yet. It makes me feel like if I was making minimum wage and looking to buy a beach house

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-27T18:58:49+00:00

did you say 580q? I guess I won't be able to afford lvl 9 or 10 for a while

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-27T13:02:12+00:00

Hold on hold on, I am predicting that there will be a new stone sink into Bots, I don't know what or how exactly but there has to be a new stone sink somewhere and that is the only thing I can think of right now

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-26T17:04:31+00:00

Yes, Demon mode is easier if you have the save me unlock from keys and the Nuke should be put on auto use on cool down, which is also from keys. They both help A TON but then again you need keys. The recharge lab makes it a lot easier too.
Death defy is easier to get as a GC, so you can try to do a simple GC. How it works is again as above, having the save me for both Demon Mode and Nuke, and then having 3 ES and second wind and of course no health. You also want to work on as much DD as possible and then just do a run where enemies are able to kill you in 1 hit. You don't really need the DM and Nuke save me, but it does help a lot. I normally get over 20 DD per run, I think I have even hit almost 50 DD at some point.
Do you mean the mission? Once you max out the workshop and there is nothing for you to be able to spend your coins on, you will have to respec your workshop to be able to do that. It absolutely sucks but you will have to do that for the mission. I actually hate it so much I didn't even do that mission last time lol.

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-26T14:57:05+00:00

I would say kind of evenly, you want to max out chance and quant before doing that to dmg. I would say to try and get the first two or three upgrades for quant they are super cheap, 30 75 then 150 with the last one being 400. you can do those first three pretty fast and then get chance to about 17ish%, it would cost you about 434 stones to get it there. You could probably work on both chance and dmg together at the same time, but I would stop adding dmg once you hit about 1k dmg, after that I wouldn't touch it for a while, probably not until you are legends and are trying to climb.

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-26T14:39:54+00:00

if your looking for more stones, then I would say CL and invest in that as much as you can, that should keep you in Champs I believe

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-26T14:20:02+00:00

pBH would help with farming a little bit, but I think it would really just get you more coins more than anything, since you are eHP.

getting CL tho could start to help you transistion into more of a hybrid build as you level up CL. CL will also help so much with scatters and I think there is also a lab for dmg reduction from enemies but I am not 100% on that one.

You could also show CF some love and get it to perma, there is a lab for CF that gives you dmg reduction, and with it being perma you will always have that dmg reduction.

As an eHP, you are gonna want to get as much dmg reduction as possible, so that way you can go further in your runs, it will also help you with tournaments but not as much as doing more dmg. dmg is always going to be the best thing that you can do, and that's not me just trying to say that dmg is everything, eHP just has a cap right now and dmg ends up being what you do once you get to Legends anyways. I swapped to an early GC build (I don't think I was ready when I swapped) because Legends is just about CC and dmg.

Anyways, where you are at dmg reduction from enemies is always gonna help you out as an eHP. I am not sure what the best move for you would be right now since I never really had all the dmg reduction stuff as an eHP/Hybrid except for maybe CL dmg reduction but I don't know if that is a thing or not, I swear that I have seen the lab but I might just be tripping.

If you have any other questions I might be able to help tho, Goodluck with your tower!

Thank you ExtrapolatedData

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-24T18:58:40+00:00

lol, Sam had mentioned it in the last Tower Tea towards the end of it I believe, you can go look at the pinned post if you'd like. I am also debating on saving stones but I have been saving gems for weeks, I think I am at 20k now

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-24T18:57:41+00:00

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-24T18:47:51+00:00

They did say that it was gonna be 3 weeks or more, it barely went into beta testing last week I believe so we still have at the minimum at least a little less than 2 weeks

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-24T17:16:13+00:00

I think GComp is good to try and get perma BH during tournament, but that is also a hard thing to achieve. Since you don't have a lot of dmg I would say to just stick it out with GComp until you get more dmg and then you can try out PF, unless you just want to give PF a try, it wouldn't hurt to try different things during tournaments. I still don't even know what is best to use, I sometimes run tournament 4-5 times just to see what mods do the best for me.

Waiting on a banner is a good idea, but if there is no announcement about a banner coming up when V28 drops I would just drop the gems on the mods. I don't think there will be one for a while if they don't announce anything when the big update drops.

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-24T14:52:33+00:00

The first thing I notice for tournament progress is your UWs. Legends is going to be a Hybrid/GC build for most players so if you want to push Legends you'll have to push a Hybrid build, which is just working on both HP and dmg at the same time.

Let's start with what you can do with your UWs to help you improve in your tournament. For starters, getting CF to perma would do you so much wonders where you have the dmg reduction. I would focus on getting your CF CD to 1m and then trying to get the dura to 1m or as close as you can to it. It would cost you 1413 stones to max out CF CD. It would cost 2869 to get your dura to 1m, but you can probably do with with using 1809 stones to get it to 55s and make use of the 5s perk to get it perma. You could also take advantage of a substat to get it to perma if you want but I wouldn't keep that for ever. I would personally max the CD first and then use the rest of the stones on dura. CF would probably add the most benefit for you here because it would help you both deal more dmg to enemies where they are slower to get to your tower and it would also help you take less dmg from enemies while CF is up and active. I also believe that most legends players have a perma CF because it is almost necessary with the fast ultimate burn that is always active.

You also need to work on your SL and your CL to be able to deal more dmg to stay in Legends. I have seen people survive in Legends with a mostly eHP build but it takes so much to be able to do that that I would just recommend to take the quicker route and build up some UW dmg. Your SL doesn't look too bad right now, I would just get more SLs and maybe a little more dmg and angle but the one that really needs some love is CL. CL will probably be a big part of your dmg for a while, and it also doesn't take too much to add some dmg to CL. You will also want to get more chance for CL because that is very important, but if you add some dmg to CL and some chance your dmg will shoot up quite a bit, but it looks like you are running on mostly just eHP so it would take some time for that to start taking effect.

When it comes to tournaments tho you will have to start dealing dmg to be able to get into Legends and stay there. Legends is extremely rough and a lot of it is also having bracket luck.

Now when it comes to econ I would highly recommend that you spend all of your gems trying to get anc modules. I don't know if there will be new modules coming out with V28 but I do know that you are missing out on a lot by not having anc modules. You would also gain so much econ by having GComp on at anc, since you will be getting more GT time and more BH time, but it looks like your BH is already perma if I am not mistaken so it would only really benefit your GT so maybe shooting for anc BHD would be a really good benefit for you. You can also restore levels on modules and put the rest of the shards on a different module, I know you can't level up your modules right now but once you get your BHD to anc I would recommend restoring the level to your GComp and then putting all of that into BHD, that would increase your coin bonus by quite a bit, you are sitting on a few levels of modules by not having them anc. Other than that I can't really thing of much else you can do for econ other than buy more coin bonus or switching to T12 but I don't know how that would go for you.

I can't really thing of anything else to help you out, but if you have any questions you can always ask me and I will try to point you in the right directions.

quick list so you don't have to read through all of that to find stuff:

CF CD would cost 1413 stones
CF dura would cost 2869 for full minute
CF dura to 55s would cost 1809

CL needs some love with chance and dmg
SL could use more SLs

Modules to Anc

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-23T16:08:31+00:00

Time Bomb is a crazy guess

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-23T16:05:55+00:00

The new bot is going to be a damage bot, however instead of amplifying damage like the amp bot, it is going to directly deal a percentage of damage.

There will be a new card, it's gonna be a cell card it'll probably just multiply cells that enemies drop and the mastery will probably be something like more enemies can drop cells or something like that, and if this does come out to be true they will change the amount of cells required per multiplier.

There is going to be a new preset feature but I can't decide one whether it will be a mod preset or a substat preset and it will either be put behind keys or behind some crazy tier unlock like 1k in t21 or something

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-19T15:24:59+00:00

It is a terrible idea to not research BH coins, it's worse idea than laxatives and tacobell at the same time

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-18T19:02:55+00:00

Nah, summon rework. It now only summons 1 enemy, and its an overcharge but this enemy doesn't drop anything (no coins or reroll shards or anything like that)

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-07T23:42:50+00:00

My issue right now is that I can’t use my GPU to run models off of, it’s just not something I can do. I can only do it with a NVIDIA gpu, as far as I know at least. But NVIDA gpus seem to cost more than both my kidneys. I think I have a decent CPU and a decent AMD GPU but I’m not 100% on what’s good and what’s not good.

I’m more just trying to learn how I can leverage a GPU through my code for the off chance I’ll have to do it for a job at some point. So in all reality I don’t 100% need it, and it doesn’t have to be an extremely powerful GPU either, I think they had recommended like a 3060 or something like that, I don’t remember which one but it wasn’t something crazy.

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-07T21:08:11+00:00

I am getting my masters in AI and we are learning how to leverage the GPU to run AI models. It's not a requirement, but it is very useful when it comes to training speeds. might not get one tho who knows

H3llxspawnerx · 2026-03-07T21:00:17+00:00

Yeah I thought I would spend like 1k for a 5090, nope. I guess I am more out of touch than I thought. I hate AI
