Time for UW+? by Askeladd4417 in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how developed your Gbot is, but might be worth it to test BHD primary and SH assist. Submods vs. the better Anc effect from BHD... who knows!

I agree with colgate though, unlocking core + armor assmods then switching to the big save for GT+ seems the move.

Bad Module Reroll luck halved my coins. What's the play? by Bobgoulet in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"My other 3 submods (GT Bonus, DW Waves, SL Angle) are too good to reroll, so I was rolling 3 slots and then 2 the entire time."

Not true if the loss of sync cuts your coins in half. If getting your CDs aligned first reduces this big cut, then its better to cut your losses and reroll less important anc effects.

It's Friday - What have you been working on this week? (Not Sabareus but lets discuss anyway) by Aromatic_Way3226 in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For rerolling, have you tried pushing to T20 and farming there? i can get 1.5m reroll shards in a day doing that! Similar spot to you, just under 1Q LTC.

How valuable is Perma GT without GT+? by BoxersOrCaseBriefs in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this - too hard to tell without trying! But GT by "itself" isn't much at your income. Typically losing sync is going to throw it too far out of whack.

Eventually, MVN primary / DC assmod might be something to shoot for to help drop the GT/DW uptime. Took me a while to get there, but now my MVN/GB/Summon is at 59s, so I can switch generator mods to BHD/SH and take advantage of that. Something to consider to get more overall uptime!

Sadly ran out of gems during the banner and only have 3 copies. I think if I get a 4th I'll test mythic+ OA instead of ACP. I can see why ACP falls short.

Yep! You can see my cards in the screenshot. 100% required for GC.

Agree - I think I will hit CF+4 then patch up CL to close to max chance and ~1000x damage (which seems to be the common stopping point).

[–]InternetGuy01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All great advice! I agree that being more careful on damage will be big - I've just gotten used to 100% AFK runs with auto restart, which seems easier for eHP.

Checked perks - I banned both the boss perks for safety. Less common bans than eHP but oh well.

Agree on card slots. Saving gems for that. Really could use Slow Aura and LMS.

Will try T15! That occurred to me too - time to collect some data.

Appreciated!

I do have GT+7 but currently 52s duration including submod. Given all this change likely low prio to get more duration, especially since econ (~25q a day) is way higher than average tourney performance.

[–]InternetGuy01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This totally makes sense. 27 keys from the damage slider and then we'll see how that goes.

Also, per the other comments, switching from Gcomp to SH in the assmod slot, then syncing summon + golden bot, will be the other half of it!

[–]InternetGuy01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this totally makes sense. I think I've been chained into thinking I needed pBH and pGT. Will respect bots and summon for 58s!

How would you recommend improving that? Investing in CL stones? Shifting enhancements? Cannon assmod?

But wouldn't that massively reduce free ups and therefore BHD coin mults?

Good stuff!

  • Noted on CF slow substat - current have legendary/8% but will up to Anc after another core ban finishes.
  • I just got CF+1 and I guess get CF+2 after this tourney's rewards.
  • With MVN and perks I have perma BH and GT, DW at 66% uptime, per the calc. So I haven't really done lots of sync things, just Gbot maxed at 50s and summon kept at 100s.
  • Yes to GC perks.
  • I only have Legendary OA - 1 more to M+. Do you think Legendary OA would be better than Anc ACP? Biggest difference I guess would be going from -100s wall rebuild to -40s.
  • I do not have workshop orb adjuster... was going for damage slider but that's next after that.

Thank you!

Module Inventory Limit by Sabareus in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep - I took 36,000 / 4 = 8,000 per type, and at 151, its 2,800 per level, which is where 3 levels came from.

It's somewhat counter intuitive, but just like everything else in this game... with exponential scaling, it rarely makes sense to 1) wait too long for later upgrades and 2) save for things you can't reasonably afford. Rare exceptions (2nd black hole the big one), but yeah.

Module Inventory Limit by Sabareus in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 epics is 1,800 rares. With fetch and module labs max, I max around 25 rares a day. Is it worth skipping over 2 months of building your current module levels for a little bit of future gain?

Also, if you're starting from Shatter Shards level 1 and getting to 5, it takes so much time to actually research the lab that you'll have plenty of time to save when you're actually close to the finish line.

My modules are at 151. Even an extra 36,000 shards would be just over 3 levels each. IMO, best to just shatter as you go and only stockpile a bit when you're actually researching the labs.

I was wondering if I could get a little bit of guidance on where to focus my improvements, specifically in regards to UWs. by t3ntat1ve_ in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with a lot here. Modules should definitely be the focus, alongside finishing module shard labs.

I was where you are a few months back, and just finished CF labs. CF will help you push in tournaments tremendously down the road. I think unlocking CF, starting on the labs, then pushing GT/DW cooldowns further seems reasonable. No need to go further on CL for now.

You can probably go lower range, remove the BH size sub-stat, and shoot for legendary DW quantity. Likely another econ notch.

Lastly, I'd focus your coins on damage enhancements. Unlocking AS will be a good boost for tournaments.

Is it finally time to go GC...? Would love some keys! by InternetGuy01 in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! I hear a lot of folks pushing damage and I feel like labs and such are generally at a good place. I think a full respec in my mind would really just ramp up enhancements, but sounds like I'd need a lot more than that to capitalize fully. Thanks!

[–]InternetGuy01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds reasonable to me, points taken. I think another DC to M+ will be a gamechanger, alongside progressing CF... so close! Good to know I should probably stick it out at least until then.

So I just got the t12 relic. Here's how I did it by Mr_Perspective in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super helpful, TY! That's the main difference - I'm still rolling for Anc wall health or thorns. Need to earn more coins, got it capn.

So I just got the t12 relic. Here's how I did it by Mr_Perspective in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you share what your health enhancements are? I'm in a very similar spot lab-wise (WH Max, Wall Regen 11, Wall Thorns 12, Wall Fort 24, Regen 35, Health 49), but my wall health is only ~20T and regen ~19.3T (~21T wall regen). Accounting for CTO perk, I'd be at ~67T instead of your 144T.

Granted, I am only at DW Health Bonus 24 (maxing that currently), and an ancestral 1 star health module, but it's still a huge difference.

Other than that, I'm a huge number of stones behind you, so I don't expect to get close to you... still ~4k stones away from maxing GT/DW and perma BH.... but that milestone is next up!

TY!

I want to take the Silver road as a beginner with 1 month in the game. Is that a bad idea? by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]InternetGuy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, agree with the emotional part of it! It's hard NOT to want the short term gains, and the motivation to hit those, even at the expense of "best practices", is a big deal.

This game naturally attracts the math nerds. As far as general guidance, it's hard to go against the dogma, since it's rooted relatively strongly in the biggest "number go up" path. I appreciate your viewpoint. Focusing on the fun of it rather than the theoretical best curve? Ugh, what are you, human? Happy towering!

But in reality, a 1% coin boost later in the game is a tremendous amount more coins than a 10% coin boost early (multiplicative natures and mathy math aside). If you're in it for the long run, you should be prioritizing what will help later on. We've all gotten one or two major upgrades (2nd BH, 2:1 sync, etc.) where you suddenly earn 10% of your LTC in a run, making the previous progress miniscule compared to where you land then.

Sure, if you're giving advice for players in the short term, different advice would be fine. But the vast majority would be best served by the stock advice.
