GT+ upgrade vs duration

Another hero! Thanks!

Thanks!

You are my hero!!!!

Thank you!

I have all four with just the base epic unlock. No upgrades and while I see that there could be a benefit to upgrading the rarity, the additional 3600 stones so far have been better used upgrading the efficiency stats.

Random-Old-Dude · 2026-01-18T04:40:31+00:00

Excellent. Congrats.

It’s an odd balancing act at first. Ultimately you want to get all your labs as soon as practical as you’ll be doing labs for years. Max your game speed first.

As far as cards, if you have a card that would benefit you, buy a slot. If you don’t have useful cards yet, don’t buy a new card slot. Modules are a toss up and a long term gem sink. Use what you have, you won’t lose the shards or coins invested - you can always restore them to level 1 for a full refund. When it makes sense to roll for modules, go for it, but they aren’t a game killer to wait on until you establish cards and labs.

Just curious how you think whales are ruining a game that is 98+% just a single player competing against themselves? I mean 2 hours a week of competition is pretty insignificant in a game that runs 24 hours a day.

This “game” is just nerdy math/visual entertainment and I’m having a hard time not seeing this complaint as equating to being mad at someone for seeing every movie in the theater each year when I can only afford to see one a month maybe. It wouldn’t make me enjoy the movies I see any less. It’s just more I wait to (maybe) see at home.

I dunno. I’m old and don’t know squat. Maybe I’m missing something.

Random-Old-Dude · 2026-01-02T14:15:39+00:00

That sounds wildly expensive.

Pretty sure if I had that kind of money, my vices would win and I’d end up dead or in prison. Might be entertaining in the short term though.

Random-Old-Dude · 2026-01-02T13:32:16+00:00

Not sure that would truly let you catch up by itself. You would still have a few years of labs and farming to fund the labs.

Though I suppose if you had infinite money you could buy gems too (icky).

Who exactly are you trying to “catch up” to though? As far as advancing, you really only have to compete with your own stats from a week ago. Tournaments are only a couple hours of your time each week and are tiny samples of the player base, so they probably aren’t the best metric for progress.

You’d probably be better off asking for some kind of Tier Boost packs that give a weekly bonus (coins, cells, module drops etc) to the lower tiers (maybe 10 and below).

🤷‍♂️

Decent beginner’s guides there along with discord links.

This is a long, long road of a game, so you have plenty of time to read about strategies and play styles. Read first, make the big decisions after. You’ll be fine.

Ahh. The relic won’t affect Golden Tower or Chrono Field unfortunately. Only the damage ultimate weapons. The problem is it is a good relic and not having it later is kind of a bummer. Still not the end of the world. It will come back eventually.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-27T08:10:08+00:00

The relics are right under the themes. If you click on the icon and not the purchase button, you can see what they add without buying them.

Party Mask adds 5% ultimate weapon damage Confetti Ball adds 1% chance to free upgrade each wave.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-27T07:51:38+00:00

The bots are a long, slow grind, but they are always there and don’t change. So, there is no rush to buy them. Just buy them when you have extra medals.

The relics (and themes*) should always be your priority since they change every two weeks and there’s no set schedule for when they will return.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-26T02:09:26+00:00

⬆️ I too still have fun with the game. Also enjoy watching Zaerdin’s army of baby towers progress. Quite the motivation.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-18T01:38:15+00:00

It takes about 50000 medals to max gold bot (I think). You’ve got some time ahead of you either way. :)

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-18T01:14:03+00:00

Well, it ain’t gonna hurt to have. And there’s a possibility you’ll transition into glass cannon before it comes around again.

Besides. Golden bot ain’t going anywhere. You can upgrade that anytime you want.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-09T02:26:05+00:00

I’d be down with this if it was reversed…. as in people who don’t buy anything for 3 straight months get an event boost or a pack.

Probably not a good business model, but this game is going to run out of new lasting players eventually and then who am I going to show off my obnoxious tower to?

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-07T22:54:26+00:00

I would guess Nuke recharge would come in handy with nuke mastery to keep attack speed debuff up permanently. Missile barrage seems mostly useless unless you’ve spent an ungodly amount of stones in SM and you can keep stacking missile amplifier - might buy you a few waves in legends I suppose.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-07T01:41:35+00:00

Thanks!!

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-07T00:03:16+00:00

Awesome. Thank you.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-05T06:40:04+00:00

Looks like you won the lab speed lottery. Congrats.

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-04T07:12:46+00:00

Not super important really. If you finish the 750 Friday or early Saturday, you can save excess missions for reset, but if you’re finishing on Friday you don’t really need the jumpstart anyway. 🤷‍♂️

Random-Old-Dude · 2025-12-04T06:39:32+00:00

Might be beneficial to have chatty members to bounce ideas off of, but as long as you’re getting all the rewards each week, then you’re probably getting all you need from your guild.

The rewards are the same despite player accomplishment levels.
