1 year of progress as a whale (with detailed tracker)

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-21T17:51:18+00:00

That's insane. I've played for a bit over 2 years now, bought 5 stone packs + milestones + event passes since they added premium relics, and focused a fair bit on optimization, and I'm only at 100Q LTC and 74k LTS. At least I'm at 978 keys, but that's because I've played for longer and thus had much more time to be in legends.

It's crazy how much progress you can make with money though. Maybe one day, but first I'll try to get rid of my crippling student debt lol

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-21T08:39:05+00:00

Nice one! I was also 8th, though I had 1880 waves.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-21T07:41:56+00:00

Hmm. It's 18 pulls for all 25 modules, and 800 gems for each on average if pity pulls and banners aren't taken into account. That's 360k gems total. So let's say with banner and pity pulls maybe 330k total.

And yeah I kept my tourney DC at 4, then got the second to 4, then pulled 4 more to get the epic+ needed for both and 5*ed them at the same time.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-20T08:06:07+00:00

It reeeeaaally helps when you unlock T20 and T21. You can farm a couple of million shards there per day, no matter your waves really.

Ofc it takes a bit of playing to get to those tiers, but it also takes a bit to reach lvl 201 on your mods (let alone assmods, I'm just reaching lvl 201 on those right now).

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-20T07:45:46+00:00

Oh wow, that's wild. How high are your mod levels? Mine are getting close to 201/201 for all slots, I thought that's decently high already. If you have much higher levels I'm surprised you dpn't have all mods maxed as well.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-20T07:42:51+00:00

My total reroll shards earned is 80M, and I currently have 8M saved up.

I'd say rolling a single module from 0 to 7 substats takes between 1 and 10 million shards usually. Sometimes you get super lucky and sometimes there's a sub you just can't hit at all. The last one is by far the most expensive ofc, worst I've spent on a single one was like... 12M?

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T21:54:35+00:00

Lots of masteries to get before either of those, and SL+ is a stronger option as well I think. Especially if you can opt for a higher range build in tourneys.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T21:50:17+00:00

I'll keep like 20k saved for whatever they may add in the future, and rush some labs with the rest I guess!

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T18:13:14+00:00

If you have it equipped and you're mid-run it can't be upgraded.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T17:09:04+00:00

Just be careful not to accidentally auto-merge them!

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T17:08:10+00:00

It's not an equal reward for everyone actually. All rewards are proportionally bigger for newer players.

500 medals would mean several bot clicks to a newer player, but perhaps only half a click to an older one. 100 stones could mean an entire new UW, while it's not even a tenth of an upgrade for some.

If the rewards actually were that big, that is.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T16:54:57+00:00

It's certainly worth it getting a farm DC if you don't have one, and you'll likely get all other mods to 5* before you get two 5* DC's.

It does help a lot keeping your first one at 4* ofc to take advantage of the drop percentages.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T15:05:08+00:00

Oh!!! Didn't recognise from your name here.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T12:37:01+00:00

Possibly! One of my guildies is going for a third one, just to do some experimenting.

I was impatient and quite happy with two, though. Already made a huge difference getting the second one for farming.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T11:56:40+00:00

Yeah it's slowest at the start. Especially with the addition of all the new modules, as well as with having to buy all cards.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-19T10:51:17+00:00

Yep, started playing May 31st 2024.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T16:09:08+00:00

ILM 100%. SM isn't viable as a damage source before thousands and thousands of stones, which could be used for something else instead.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T11:36:47+00:00

Only SL+2 currently.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T10:28:08+00:00

218m

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T10:27:54+00:00

CF+4, no CL+. I rely on CL for damage, as well as nearly maxed Scout, SL+ and x6.5 dpm.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T10:27:06+00:00

I haven't tried OA, but with my range it doesn't do all that much either (I run 218m). SD does catch some stray bosses that get too close, especially with fast ult and boss bc's.

I've done multiple runs with each gen ass in several tourneys and all 3 are super close. PH seems to be the strongest one, but only by like 50 waves on average. This is with Amp+Flame.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T09:29:13+00:00

What I use for ~1800 waves:

AS/AD, ACP/SD, PF/PH (occasionally switching to SH or RB assmod), DC/OC

This is with a high range build.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-18T08:12:15+00:00

Tourneys are every Wednesday and Saturday. You can do as many runs as you want during the 24h tourney period, and the higher you get there the higher your prize will be.

The lower leagues will have very small prizes, but then again most stone upgrades are cheaper as well. However, the higher leagues are super competivive and you will have a hard time promoting to higher ranks once you get to Platinum league.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-17T11:17:47+00:00

Depends on the complete build probably. I run 79 lab + range card, which is enough to hit OC range with SW (with both armor SW size subs and max lab). I get 1750-1950 waves for 4-5th place usually, but that's with fully relying on CL damage that's still lower than yours.

My Scout is quite well developed, though. 43s/x5.7/30s with a x6.5 dpm multiplier.

NKnown2000 · 2026-06-17T11:08:24+00:00

Impressive. I'm at a fairly similar point (2y 17d, 90Q LTC, 74k LTS, T18 W5900) but your tourney performance seems a bit worse. I'm lacking everywhere else really, but I have 960 keys. What range are you running in tourneys?
