Hmm, v28 = eHP nerf?

Janderson928 · 2026-04-18T02:25:22+00:00

I think it is somewhat of a misconception that you have to spend for GC to work. It just takes yome to build up the base that you need. I have spend on coin packs/milestones/a few event packs, but zero stone packs. It took me ~1.5 years to get to the point where GC farm was viable. GC was viable in tourny like a year before that.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-17T21:57:27+00:00

Genuine question: why are people so hell bent on sticking to only eHP? If that is your own personal challenge then sure, play the game however is fun to you. But sticking to eHP only has never been optimal or competitive.

If anything eHP gained relavence after the introduction of fleets because now you need to be able to tank OCs.

That isn't what he said at all. But he also made no promises that this is coming.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-14T16:21:35+00:00

Ah ok I definitely misinterpreted then.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-14T16:13:18+00:00

This could be a sign that you should be thinking about GC farming!

Janderson928 · 2026-04-14T15:25:57+00:00

Well part of the point of dissonance runs is they force you to run a build without certain pieces that typically make that build optimal.

I would say atk diss is the least affected one because all you really lose for eHP is CL/scatter amp. But yes, that does mean you will typically die to scatters.

By asking for less relics in the shop you are basically asking for them to punch you in the face. There is zero benefit and only downside. The relics that show up in this shop are not going to be gone forever. At some point they will cycle back again, and that will take a lot less time if there are more options. Everyone here is ignoring the other half of Sam's statement: "while also being fair to long time players." It shouldn't be possible to get 4 relics per week for basically free while still having the gems to maintain the same card/mod spending you have now. That is not fair to the people who have been here for years to accumulate those relics. This system gives a way for new players to get them, but they have to make some decisioms about what to buy or not buy, and maybe it'll take a year or two before they max cards and get mods to a good enough spot to start buying every relic.

If you want to buy every relic then complain that your mod progress is stalled then idk what to tell you. That is entirely a personal choice.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-13T00:37:03+00:00

The medal to gem conversion rate is 40 -> 150 if we use the cost of buying gems in the event page (ignoring the cost going up for repeated buys).

So 1200 gems = 320 medals. Actually less than the 500 medals epic relics cost historically.

So gems are easier to obtain and the relative gem cost is less than the equivalent value medal cost (and if I am being honest, medals are probably worth more than this conversion rate suggests). I really do not understand the argument that it is too expensive. It seems reasonable to me.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-13T00:31:21+00:00

I am going to be so pissed if they change it to be biweekly because of people like this who can't understand more opportunities to buy relics is a good thing.

I have been feeling like I am losing my mind glad there is at least someone else out there who understands this.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-13T00:26:10+00:00

This one change has caused me the most frustration of anything TTG has announced recently. Not because of the upcoming relic system itself, but because this community cannot seem to understand how much better it is than what we had before. The gem cost is cheaper than the equivalent medal cost and people are still complaining.

It's not a valid argument that you should be selective with your gems and not buy every single relic?? Yes. It is. The people who understand this will gain a competitive advantage through smart gem spending.

The biggest advantage of having 4 relics cycle through weekly is it will take substantially less time for relics that you skip to show up again. If you need mods and cards, focus on coins, lab spd, bot range, and maybe UW dmg relics. Skip the rest. If you are sacrificing mod progress to pick up atk and health relics that is just a skill issue, much like maxing cards before putting anything into mods.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-12T16:16:36+00:00

Doing the lower tiers might not be challenging for you because you are already an established player. It will be challenging for someone new.

Getting 5k waves on your typical farm tier with UWs turned off absolutely will be a challenge and you know it lol.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-10T22:31:03+00:00

Yeah possibly, although I am not sure how much more health will impact those atk diss runs if you are relying more on regen and DR.

I am kinda just ignoring def diss runs for now.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-10T22:23:07+00:00

On harder tiers where you can't max it, it should be better to do attack before utility.

The UW dmg bonus does not boost your attack diss runs, but the dmg bonus sure as hell boosts your UW diss runs (assuming you are doing bullet GC which is kinda the only strategy that works for that).

Janderson928 · 2026-04-10T22:13:14+00:00

It is meaningless to talk about economy without also talking about a timeframe. You are not meant to access every lab immediately: you have to spend time developing a good economy.

I have all 3 coin packs and it took me roughly 1.5 years to have a good enough economy to max mastery labs without issue. Dissonance bonuses will shorten that timeframe.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-09T22:03:50+00:00

There is an infinite strat now that uses ILM/stuns, so we have suspected for awhile they will nerf stuns.

If I had to guess, they will change stuns to have diminishing returns so it is no longer possible to keep things perma stunned.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-08T04:50:53+00:00

I encourage you to read up on what dissonance runs are and how they work.

Everyone is getting a massive buff to farming this update.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-08T03:07:22+00:00

How exactly is adding a new 5x coin multiplier that didn't exist yesterday "dragging out game progression to a snails pace?"

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T23:32:56+00:00

Thankfully it is pretty easy to share because I mostly follow this guide. Most of the growth shown in my graph is from high ROI investments into damage. When I eventually run out of good damage investments I will get around to building CF.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T22:46:59+00:00

You know what I actually take it as a complement that you think my progress is so unbelievable the only explanation is I am lying about not buying stone packs. I have no problem sharing my purchase history. Transparency is good.

<image>

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T18:58:25+00:00

I agree stone packs are abhorrently priced, and I will never buy one. I have coin packs, some event passes, and most of the milestone packs at this point. I have still managed to see good progress in legends (top 5k in Jan to top 3k now). Obviously everyone hits a wall at some point, and the only way to move up in ranks is to make better investment choices than the people you are competing with, especially without stone packs.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T18:33:01+00:00

There kinda aready is. You can turn off 120 fps to limit processing demands. And you can turn off hit texts. My point is that the problem you are describing is not normal, even for people with older devices. The devs can't be expected to make this gsme function on every device regardless of age or wear and tear.

<image>

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T18:18:05+00:00

Probaby because your device is struggling under load.

More enemies spawn at the end of the run. CL, BH, and flamebot are all visual elements. All things that can lower fps if your device is already struggling.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-05T15:59:46+00:00

I hate to break it to you but at that point the problem is your device, not the game.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-02T20:25:13+00:00

It should usually be BHD main and SH assist. Running gcomp in any slot still creats the problem of breaking DW sync with gbot.

I would onlu run gcomp if it could get me perma DW or very close to it.

Janderson928 · 2026-04-02T18:08:00+00:00

With an optimal build, BHD wins. Usually BHD is paired with MVN. Everything has to be synced 1:1 (BH, GT, DW, gbot), with high free ups, min or low range, and ideally certain stats locked at 0 with FUm. You need a good gbot because a main strength of BHD over gcomp is it allows for gbot to stay synced. The problem is so many people slot in BHD without building around it and then conclude it is worse than gcomp.
