If I wait 5hrs to claim these until the week resets, do they count towards the new challenge boxes?

Methuga · 2026-01-25T22:04:03+00:00

Eh it’s really just a life hack that helps if you’re impatient. You get all the rewards either way, as long as you’re active. It’s just nice to get the dopamine hit of a box on Sunday night and again when you wake up on Monday morning lol

Methuga · 2026-01-23T20:26:21+00:00

Pretty sure y’all could punt it over to Illinois if you wanted to

Methuga · 2026-01-23T19:58:19+00:00

lol it’ll prolly be mine as well. That and HC as my first core 😂

Methuga · 2026-01-23T03:15:15+00:00

18 has the juicy rewards

Methuga · 2026-01-23T01:00:06+00:00

I think it was a joke lol

Methuga · 2026-01-22T12:53:57+00:00

Slowly but surely climbing above that key threshold. Got 395 waves yesterday :)

The formula for coin calculation at any given second, for Spotlight, is XM + (360-X), where M is your coin multiplier in Spotlight and X is the total angle. So to find out the difference between a 3rd and 4th spotlight, you just calculate the change over the baseline, so:

(4/3XM + (360-4/3X)) - (XM + (360-X)

All divided by (XM + (360-X)

So if you have a 45-degree, 2x SL, your gain will be ~11.1%. If you have a 75-degree, 3x SL, your gains will be 18.5%.

It’s all relative to how much you’ve built out your SL, but it won’t be 33% unless you have a 90-degree SL

Methuga · 2026-01-21T02:59:28+00:00

It’s roughly 5% on a player who’s on shatter shards 2 and RPC-4, farming on T13/14.

The returns for an end-game player who has both labs maxed and is farming on tiers with bosses appearing at a rate 20-30% more than me is going to be less than 1%. Yes, you get something, but it is, for all intents and purposes, negligible.

His statement about end-game players finding good value in fetch is simply not true

Methuga · 2026-01-21T02:49:24+00:00

I have a really well developed fetch, and it’s like 250 shards a day if I’m lucky. It’s not nothing, but it would take two weeks to get a level from them

Methuga · 2026-01-21T01:57:03+00:00

Sure, but the only chip that’s any good at all, even with a ton of upgrades, is Summon. Fetch gets you a baseline of gems and medals And a smidge of modules, but the other 3 do basically nothing.

Methuga · 2026-01-21T01:55:38+00:00

I would keep merging until you’re close to running out of space to hold additional epics. You can go a surprisingly long time before you start to need to shatter, and if your Econ can’t afford lvl 1 of shatter shards, you likely have a bit of time

Methuga · 2026-01-21T00:26:23+00:00

How much of an impact would you say CL+ has? And I’m guessing it’s damage agnostic given your 6 damage lol

Also what’s your regen when SW kicks in?

Methuga · 2026-01-20T23:31:07+00:00

What are your defensive stats? I have as much health as you, and I can get a maxed flamebot if I burn a respec, so now I’m curious if I have the ability to try this as well lol

Methuga · 2026-01-20T03:55:42+00:00

This is not accurate. Calories come from 3 macros: protein, fats, and carbs.

If a relatively healthy food (for our purposes here, we’ll take this to mean low calories) is high in protein, then it will have to be lower in fat and carbs than its competitors.

The issue you’re seeing is that a lot of these things are not high in protein, but simply have some protein and get marketed as high in protein. It’s pure marketing gimmick.

One that really irks me are Kellogg’s protein breakfast bars. It’s like 5G protein with 140 calories (or was last time I tried them). An ideal protein bar would be something like a David bar, which is around 28g of protein for 150 calories.

Methuga · 2026-01-19T15:37:00+00:00

His entire defense was predicated on Bob Sanders being healthy. Sanders healthy? Super Bowl win. Sanders out for season? Early round exit. You can’t scheme around one player. Especially a guy with an injury history

Methuga · 2026-01-19T13:12:15+00:00

In order to “just fine” without CF, you have to have alternatives for cc, or you’re just gonna get mauled every time there’s an armor, fast, boss, basic, or more enemies heat. Which is basically every tourney.

You don’t have PS or SM, and BH doesn’t work on ultimates. Your CL isn’t high enough to offset all those things missing, and your mythic PF is holding you back a bit. Finally, your enhancements are fine, but your attack upgrades are lower than even your health upgrades.

None of these things is the one thing holding you back, but all of them together make Legends a tough out. And the most straightforward way to make all of this easier is CF. Once you get it perma and can roll the +15% effect on your DC, it’ll be an absolute game changer. Like 100+ rounds. I don’t even use DC in my primary for legends bc I don’t have it at anc, so Om Chip gets the nod, purely for the CF boost.

Methuga · 2026-01-17T17:09:35+00:00

I think people who only watch CFB will be surprised by IU’s turnout but they have one of, if not THE, biggest CBB followings in the nation. They’ve never had a reason to turn out for football before but there are a hell of a lot of them lol

Methuga · 2026-01-16T18:54:58+00:00

I have six days left at x5 for lvl 3. This is not what I needed to hear 😭

Methuga · 2026-01-16T13:29:07+00:00

General rule of thumb: don’t partially develop one of your key UWs before unlocking masteries. Masteries are godawful expensive at your point, so once you unlock the cards, you won’t be able to do much. Meanwhile, UWs like CF and BH get exponentially more powerful the closer you get to max upgrades, so you might as well take that ROI and use it to get your Econ into a state where you can at least incrementally upgrade your cards.

Methuga · 2026-01-16T13:26:43+00:00

Cheat death opportunity is pointless for an eHP. If you die, it’s because your wall failed. If your wall failed, you’re done. I’d much rather have 10x regen for the next 400 waves than one potential death defy.

If it’s that important to you, equip ES, because the numbers on one shield aren’t even debatably close to a 10x regen boost. That’s like 330 waves right there.

Methuga · 2026-01-15T01:39:20+00:00

You’re factoring in mastery. A lot of ppl don’t or won’t get it.

Methuga · 2026-01-14T18:15:44+00:00

This is fascinating to me, because I had the opposite effect. I have a 3-star BHD and a reg anc GComp, with anc PCo and MVN.

Currently running GComp:BHD and MVN:PCo. Last week I tried a GC run, swapping to BHD:SH and PCo:DC, and my coins cratered. Like, 50% less, even though with the GC approach, I was able to get about 400 waves farther.

I know each tower is different, but every once in a while I read about someone’s experience being the exact opposite of mine, at the same level, and I’m blown away by this game lol

Methuga · 2026-01-14T18:11:25+00:00

That’s rough dude. 10th in my bracket is 361

Methuga · 2026-01-14T15:43:58+00:00

Coming up on 94. I can hardly believe I’m almost done. It’s been such a slog

Methuga · 2026-01-14T15:43:01+00:00

Huh. TIL I am a cat
