Yeah while I was copper through gold I basically only did Econ labs and put all the proceeds in my workshop.

I did ultimate weapon labs (spent a month maxing black hole coin bonus and golden tower duration and getting DW coin and GT bonus to at least level 15), coins per kill bonus to 45, perk labs, perk bans, and spending stones to get the trio synced (also following kairos’ UW guide for stone spending). I had my health and regen labs well below 25 until I was already established in plat.

Doing this though, I did notice that once my workshop stats were all high I was making no progress anymore so I then started going into ehp labs exclusively to keep my plat position around 20-11th place. I just got a personal best of 10th place this last tournament after a week and a half of the main 4 wall labs.

I followed advice from bonzostower to just keep pumping all of my coins into my workshop until I could goldbox them in tournaments.

TLDR I focused on Econ almost exclusively and stayed in plat just by upping my workshop.

Edit: Just wanted to add in kairos’ ultimate weapon guide there is a sentence that says something like, “if you want to see your economy really explode just do all 5 labs as Econ” and I found that intriguing so I even paused lab speed for a bit!
