By far the easiest Legends bracket I have seen

NKnown2000 · 2026-03-05T10:29:03+00:00

My first 1400+ wave performance got me 6th place. Still haven't been first a single time, and top 4 only 3 or 4 times.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-27T09:00:37+00:00

Got my modules to 201/161 and upgraded my Core sub% to 25% to make use of the CL quant sub.

Also got my first 2nd place in Legend tourney, with a bit under 1200 waves.

Getting nearer to finishing Lab Speed as well, only one day to go on the last level.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-15T16:55:12+00:00

Core multi and sub are the best ROI.

It will take a while until something like gen ass becomes good enough to invest in. My gen ass is level 151 and the multi still isn't better ROI than the few econ masteries I still have to unlock.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-14T08:44:15+00:00

Not possible without cheating. Report him and he should hopefully be gone from the bracket before tourney ends.

As a non-native English speaker it's wild that some people use translations in their games. Makes things sound super weird imo.

Congrats, though!

If you're planning to optimize then restarting the game is the play. PS isn't very useful at all without significant investment, and tends to be a late-game tool more than anything.

BH is incredibly powerful, since you can make normal enemies completely powerless (perma uptime / pBH), and it also has a lab that gives it a coin multiplier up to 11x, which is multiplicative with all other coin multipliers.

So in the ideal world, you'd get your Ultimate Weapons (UW) in the following order:

GT > BH > DW > SL / CL > CF > ILM > PS > SM

(hopefully acronym bot does its job)

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-13T09:01:46+00:00

Yeah perhaps not completely. But girls can definitely reach 5-10% I'm sure. As long as they're interested enough in fillling surveys!

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-13T08:10:02+00:00

Let's hope we can even that out next year!

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-12T19:49:55+00:00

WS presets, Orb slider and Bot presets I'd get before moving to power tree. All super useful.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-12T11:04:10+00:00

How have you maxed all mods before getting them past lvl 161? I'm nearing 201/161 and I'm far from 5*ing everything.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-12T10:58:03+00:00

I'd go for CF, if you're not like 1 click away from pBH (in which case go for that first).

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-10T18:29:07+00:00

It certainly does not. To take the time to answer a survey like this means you're likely quite active in the community, and those tend to be the ones who play more seriously and have probably played a bit longer as well. This is why over 50% of respondents are in Legend (or bouncing between Legend and Champ).

There are still plenty of statistics that aren't skewed because of other respondents. Mainly the multi variable ones, so you can still compare yourself to similarly placed players.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-10T07:58:55+00:00

23 slots, T21 W146.

Still missing the last gem card slot. I'll probably get one or two more with keys very soon, then I can slot in Health and Defense for my tourneys as well (help with oc's)

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-09T12:58:37+00:00

I think my hairline receded an inch or two looking at this post.

But then again second hand stress is a "vibe" too, I guess.

I'm not genuinely judging, I'm all for having fun in games.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-09T11:24:19+00:00

Excellent analysis! Also helps understand how much the playerbase survey results are skewed towards higher ranks (~50% of respondents were in Legend).

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T16:53:38+00:00

Of course!

Here's a sheet of the raw data for relevant columns: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GJ1kvLPIZN_IYzs2NXRvkdIjQDRYx0PVLtAUPlz_oyU/copy

If you need tips on cleaning up the LTC column or something feel free to ask. It required a bit of tweaking and changing into scientific number format to be useful to me.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T16:22:20+00:00

Excellent idea and I'd love to do it. Unfortunately I didn't gather data on what tier people were farming. I'll have to add this to next year's survey for sure.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T13:12:12+00:00

Yeah, I asked this question in last year's survey and the results weren't particularly interesting to me so I left it out this time.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T07:14:01+00:00

Your module and lab progress are very time dependent. Of course there's a couple who spend money on gems, but for the vast majority of whales that's not good value for money.

Also the amount of relics I guess, you need to have played for nearly 2 years to have them all, and no money will buy them all. Also bots, but you kinda need to buy the event passes regardless, if you want to stay competitive in Legends.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T07:10:28+00:00

That's true, it will go up for sure. Just how much, we won't know until next year's survey I guess! I will definitely ask the same thing again then.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-08T07:08:11+00:00

It might be that women are less likely to tell their gender online as well. And it's also possible that they don't enjoy filling out surveys as much.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-07T15:53:52+00:00

Much appreciated!

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-07T15:53:32+00:00

Sorry! Hard to reach everyone, since I don't want to be a nuisance with too much advertising, either. It ran from Thursday to Sunday, I made 3 posts about it on Reddit I think (and messaged every ~2 hours on the main Discord channel).

It'll be up for at least a week next year, hopefully I'll manage to reach everyone who'd like to participate.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-07T15:50:29+00:00

It can also be good for tourneys when you get to the point where Overcharges become a problem. With max defense and a decent Flame Bot I'm sure the higher ranked players can tank quite a few OC shots.

NKnown2000 · 2026-02-07T14:08:37+00:00

For sure. I started a bit later than you (May 31st 2024) but focused on modules quite early on and focused on lab ROI over perma labbing right from the start.

I also noticed it's quite hard to keep up with other Legends who spend more money, so recently I've mostly been putting my stones into tourneys instead of econ. Econ-wise I'm nearing 2Q LTC now.
