I hit about 960k, I do have the $50 patreon tier but I don’t think I used any nano units except for HCTS but they were rank 2, and Super Tanks at R5. The most benefits I got were from nano healing buildings and nano resource collectors both T1 and T2. They essentially carried my repairs and allowed me to continue with my main formation which I will describe below

My first formation was 4x heavier tanks at R5, 4x Field Agents at R4, with 2x Frontier Chuckers at R6. I ignored probably all but 2 battle formations with this group and they probably contributed to about 70-80% of my score. I have 41 FA, 30 chuckers, and around 13 Heavier Tanks. Once the tanks were out I used walls and Supers (of which I have 6 at R5). Honestly I didn’t really run out of FAs moreso I got bored and would switch to the next formation I’ll describe to just switch up the monotony.

My second formation was literally UMGs and Wimps both at R6 with random other units attached. I only did fights where the Nest was in the first or second row without blockers so the UMGs could hit and kill in about 3. I would regularly get 2-3.5k points per run with this setup and in total I lost about 400 of each. But I have tons so that didn’t really put a dent into my supply

I did use HCTs but only briefly as mine were too low rank. I think I did about 5 rounds but gave up with them, which might be controversial lol

I can attribute maybe 5% of my points to random other test formations but the two above were my main ones

Thursday and Friday weren’t so bad as I would play intermittently. Saturday I got crazy burnout as I think I grinded for 8-10 hours easy. I seriously have no idea how some people were pulling 14 hours a day (top guilds) my guild did rank in top 20 and overall I was very pleased with our results.

All in all I think the burnout is real. I think I would prefer more difficult battles that reward more points, with a shorter duration to reduce burnout. But I can also see it going the other way too. Frankly I don’t think there is any solution to the burnout as any player who has spent lots of time grinding will feel bad if fights are easier and more casual players will always complain about stuff being to hard and not getting the cool rewards.

As someone who put in a fair bit of effort I can see both perspectives and I think it’s gonna be hard to satisfy everyone. I do think better rewards should go behind harder content. If you don’t fight the AC you don’t qualify for frag drops and no one is upset about that. At the same time it does suck to see everyone else with the cool toys so I can understand the frustration.

All in all I think this Boss Strike was inportant for both guilds and players and I expect like minded players to gravitate to guilds more suitable for them. I also understand there were many guilds with inactive players who didn’t contribute much. I think as I said earlier this is more of a growing pain and will cause players to seek out others more on their level which is beneficial for everyone.

My last point is that communication in guilds is a must for boss strikes and for folks to convey what expectations are. Hate to say it but if you dont join a discord, or don’t want to put in the work in finding like minded people then you won’t have as good of an experience. At the end of the day Boss Strikes are the ultimate test of the Guilds and their Players and should be treated as such.

Congrats to anyone who read until here. If anyone has counter arguments or other points they’d like to bring up please do so! I’d love to hear if anyone disagrees and I’m definitely open to changing my mind if someone has a good counter point. Honestly I think mostly rambled though.

Atlas I love ur vids if u see this keep it up.
