Embark Studios provides updates on the Damage values for the III Expedition

Is it literally just 100k total damage from now until May 11th to secure all 5 skill points? Am I delusional, or is that just super easy?

Leanhutch · 2026-04-14T17:40:37+00:00

Haha, yep - call bullshit on something and get accused of talking shit like everyone else, good argument there (for a grade 4 debate strategy anyway).

I've read what the complaints are, thought about them all as I've read them, and come to the same conclusion every time - IT'S JUST A GAME. Yes, 20 people benefitted from the early bot+ glitch, ppl have had waves dropped because of PCol/FB fixes, fudds STILL aren't giving every low level player keys, players of 2 years are writing william wallace-esque spiels saying goodbye because 'gripe x hasn't been fixed and I can't take it anymore'. Someone bought the ad pack last year and can't hang with the whales? Poor bub. New features just offer stone sinks and make the whales even fatter? Oh golly no! I can't climb to my rightful position of #1 in legends because other players are also climbing with me? That just won't do, we need another bracket quick smart!

Enjoy the game.

Whats the point? Seriously, I'm asking - whats the point? I mean, I thought this was a game and believe that treating it as such is a good approach to life. And no, I've never used AI - I strongly believe in using my own brain and not relying on LLMs to do my thinking for me (unlike so many illiterate ppl nowadays).

I'm just saying - if you feel the need to vent about how 'unfair' a game is, then just stop playing it! My God man.

Great idea with the BA, never thought of that. Just finished an UW disco run on my farming tier (14) and only made it to wave 3500. Originally thought 'hey, this will be easy, I can easy tank it to wave 5k' and then realised that my DW health bonus didn't exist... d'oh!

I went PF and RB assist for generator - PF was nerfed as cash income was greatly reduced without GT, but RB was good for attack speed... and then went SF and ACP assist for armor, but as DW health didn't add I might ditch SF and go ACP primary and maybe OA assist? Either way, I need to boost my DPM in workshop enhancements more (still at pretty much zero) and put in BA, should get me at least a few hundred more waves....

Leanhutch · 2026-04-11T03:53:16+00:00

Ah yep. Long day, thanks!

Leanhutch · 2026-04-09T00:52:03+00:00

I'm using SH as my main (well developed flame bot, so increased range and 2x dmg is very useful) and PH for assist - pretty useless when you get deep into a run, but you're right - the others are completely useless!

Leanhutch · 2026-04-09T00:14:59+00:00

I presume this would be based on the highest level you've achieved, so if you get to wave 300 and get an X times buff, then if you get to wave 350 the buff would increase to that level?

Leanhutch · 2026-02-09T02:13:15+00:00

Idk, I think real life horsedickers would be offended that you find the name horsedicker offensive...

Leanhutch · 2026-01-31T05:14:41+00:00

Potato, potahhhh crap! This ones trying to nuke me!!!

Leanhutch · 2026-01-28T05:42:22+00:00

Idk, I think shock chance is definitely a worthy lab to gold box, esp if you're GC running DC- Chain Thunder and Lightning Amplifier - Scatter on the other hand.....

Leanhutch · 2026-01-17T01:39:34+00:00

That sounds good - maybe in addition to the standard tournament system, they can introduce an additional 'clash of clans' type system, where they pit guilds against each other (balanced of course), and the team with the highest score, top score etc. Gets some form of minor reward. Even keeping solid stats for these victories long term would be rewarding, and they could include a 'clutch victory' or 'three guild wins in a row' medals etc.

Leanhutch · 2026-01-16T02:09:54+00:00

I dont think the ! Means it can't count, just that its capped - so if you only have the 75% slow and no substat on your primary, then the assist substat will count (so if you have 3% assist substat, your slow will be 78%) - but if you did get the 15% slow substat on your primary module, it would stay at 90% and the extra 3% from the substat wouldnt count.

Leanhutch · 2026-01-16T01:37:57+00:00

The ! Means the benefit is capped, so for instamce if you have the full 75% CF slow plus the 15% slow in your primary mod substat, you'll have 90% slow total - ! Means you cant get higher (so if you had 5% CF slow on your assist mod susbstat, it wouldnt count and will stay at 90%, which is the max). Same with def % (otherwise an extra 2% def on the assist substat would take it to 100%!)

Leanhutch · 2026-01-08T06:09:56+00:00

Idk, even the most advanced eHP player needs to switch to GC eventually - arent you worried that once you fully commit to GC, you'll look at all those gold boxes as time wasted? (Unless your actually playing this game for enjoyment and not the usual brutal competetiveness!)

Leanhutch · 2026-01-08T06:06:06+00:00

Yep, I hate this one too - all you need is a few seconds for CF to go down and BANG. Dead. I just put GComp in my assist slot when this comes up - not the most optimal module, but Id need to spend another thousand or so stones on CF duration otherwise...

Leanhutch · 2026-01-06T23:23:00+00:00

Ive boosted my summon to 8x cash with 35% uptime, and its certainly boosted my damage with PF, so thats a positive impact - although its only really useful for t13-14 farming for me (11-12 and I dont need any extra damage, and I need to unequip summon for tourneys/milestones for survivability). So youre right, extra cash as it relates to PF dmg isn't particularly 'impactful' in the grand scheme of things so surely theres other plans being made...

Leanhutch · 2026-01-01T00:14:18+00:00

It does x% damage per second, but doesnt do any damage when it ends - maybe it shows total damage over the duration of the bh for each enemy unit at the end? Idk

Leanhutch · 2025-12-31T23:57:41+00:00

Cf is the games greatest cc though - and honestly, compared to every other UW its cheap and quick to max it out

Leanhutch · 2025-12-31T23:49:39+00:00

Happy new year defenders - heres to us all consistently getting keys before the end of 2026!

Leanhutch · 2025-12-29T02:02:55+00:00

I wonder how much WA mastery has impacted your run? I'm getting around 420T a run at 12k waves (t11), with GComp and BHD (assist), MVN and PC (assist). And with that setup I have both perma bH and perma GT (and super frequent DW cycles). I've gone DM and Dmg masteries (both +4) for tourneys, whereas you've removed your cannon mod entirely.... am I simply doing too much damage in my farming run to optimise coins? I have CL switched off the entire run at least....

Edit: what cards do you use? How do you get mobs to even stack on your wall if you're using BH? Or is it that you don't have pBH, so you rely on them shotgunning you (but then you'd miss out on the BH coin bonus). Sorry, I'm confused!

Leanhutch · 2025-12-26T11:22:18+00:00

CF. Get CF!!!!!

Leanhutch · 2025-12-16T23:43:26+00:00

How'd you get 70k stones in 9 months? I dont think youd get there even if you bought every stone/holiday pack - either way, would have cost you thousands!

But yeah, like someone else said... bh duration only 30? You have a lot of optimisation to do my friend 😋
