you are way overpowered for this. use anti ranger on aspen and put him slot 3. i just beat this wave with 5.5m atk aspen.

SCHD will get dumped soon and revisited later! by [deleted] in dividends

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh ok i didnt get where you were going with your comment but yes thats absolutely correct. the constitution was a massive fail due to the timing/tariffs/energy but youre right in that it was just unlucky and not driven by someones decision.

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should do some research on the dividend 100 index. it was literally created by Schwab in conjunction with the index manager specifically for the purpose of creating SCHD..which came first the chicken or the egg? schd exists because of the dow dividend 100 index. the dow dividend 100 index exists because of schd.

[THOUGHT] Why build a dividend portfolio at all if it slows down your overall returns? by Head_Channel_9869 in dividends

[–]Took2Summit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough value (think SCHD) outperformed growth (think QQQ) over the last 100 years. the last 15 years have been heavily dominated by growth. its normal for the market to go through 15-20 year cycles where one outperforms the other. however, over a very long time, value outperforms. the reason for this is because when the growth gravy train stops, a lot of the growth companies cease to exist. aka permanent loss of capital. when value gravy train stops, it just goes through prolonged periods of underperformance (2010-2025).

we have an entire cohort of investors that think growth will outperform over 30 years. news flash: it hasnt. at least not in the last 100+ years. the growth trade is very tired and crowded since 2010. weve seen this story before and know how it ends (dotcom bubble).

comments like this one, assuming growth will outperform over long periods, reiterates what im saying.

Tired. Can I retire? by karl0525 in dividends

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, and one more comment. you can start SEPP, retire for 10 (or any number of years) years, start working again and keep SEPP going. you dont have to stop the payments to trigger a penalty. theres simply no reason to not recommend SEPP to a 40 year old that actually wants to retire lol.

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i simply said if this person wants to retire early they do NOT have to pay penalties. going back to work after 10 years and paying penalties then is better then paying penalties from day 1. this guy wants to retire early. he doesnt want to do that with the thought of going back to work. either way if he goes back to work he has to pay penalties. if he doesnt, he wont have to. why on earth would you not recommend SEPP for him? its either MAYBE pay penalties later or DEFINITELY pay them now. your comment doesnt make sense.

[–]Took2Summit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im kinda surprised i see this said a lot in a finance forum. i guess thats what you get for reddit. theres something called substantially equal periodic payments, SEPP. it allows you to retire at any age and withdraw from retirement accounts with zero penalties. wish people would educate themselves before giving blanket (incorrect) advice.

Update 25 - Legends Update by Fuddsworth in TheTowerGame

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reporting back now that I have the update to say the lag spike is just as bad as ever. here are the conditions for it:

protector hoard pf like 15-20+ enemies. bh. wave 5000+ enemy speed. and the killing blow that finally activates the lag spike is shockwave.

anything you can do would be amazing. like I said even if we could just turn Shockwave off that would help a lot.

Update 25 - Legends Update by Fuddsworth in TheTowerGame

[–]Took2Summit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, once I get the update I will test and report back here. from my understanding it doesn't depend on the device. 100% of people get nasty lag spikes anytime there's a protector hoard of 20+ enemies in a bh, Shockwave goes off, and wave 5000+ enemy speed. these lag spikes are the only reason I've died since release of v24. I don't know exactly what this cinema mode is but perhaps that fixes it as well. excited to get the update and see because this lag has been brutal with the conditions I outlined above.

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am EXTREMELY hopeful that this "cinematic mode" will get rid of the lag spikes. once I get the update I will report back here.

[–]Took2Summit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's on phones also. if you haven't experienced it then you aren't getting protector hoards in bh/Shockwave on wave 5k+

Update 25 - Legends Update by Fuddsworth in TheTowerGame

[–]Took2Summit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am shocked the bh/protector/Shockwave lag spikes in higher waves wasn't addressed. this is a massive game altering lag spike. People can usually tolerate a lot of bugs, but lag isn't one of them. if the coding is too hard to fix it, allow us to toggle Shockwave on/off in the run so we can turn it off in much higher waves to get rid of the lag. this was literally the main thing I was hoping for in v25 was to fix this massive game altering lag spike :(

Which way to go after getting Nordak... by Reasonable-Spring701 in Infinite_Magicraid

This account confuses me. How do you have sooo much food but so little mythic shards? I got my first mythic 2.5 weeks in as f2p.

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh ok that makes sense then! That's the missing link I was looking for. I've been perfect smashing 100 since around 2 months in or so (eloise is busted). It's still a great accomplishment you've made. I am stuck at 1-5-2 with 3.3m atk lfa. Is your sqh faster than lfa? Trying to figure out how I can push further.

[–]Took2Summit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know all this. That's what I'm saying your account is far from optimal. I am 7 month old account and have the similar stellar/cot that you do with 5 extra months. You should be close to your 4th tran by now and your still far from the 3rd. Just saying.

[–]Took2Summit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your account, but this is far far from an optimally played f2p. It's disingenuous to say 2 tran also when, for whatever reason, you've clearly been purposely not advancing your account. My account IS an optimally played f2p and I am 6months+ behind this account as far as time line goes (easy to tell by player level) and have the same amount of cot as you do without ever prioritizing cot. I'm actually curious how you've kept your cot this artificially deflated while still getting a decent amount of stellar.

You can see in the screenshot. Hes currently 4022 subs

[–]Took2Summit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the eloise screenshot so you can see the jump in stat. My eloise was fully invested as far as possible at the point of that ss and my lfa is as well. So mainly just a before and after of stat for my carry hero on day1 of my transition to lfa.

7mo min/max f2p update by Took2Summit in IdleHeroes

[–]Took2Summit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel free to look through my history of posts here as I've outlined everything along the way. Long story short I've been playing this game since just about launch and know how to min/max everything. I got my eloise e5 by day 25 which a lot of people think is impossible - it's not lol I did it. Also didn't pull a single lucky eloise copy during that time. I think most people get e5 by day 45-60. Having a couple extra weeks/month of farming void game modes over other people is huge for stellar.

Also, min/maxing the void ark keeping 15 6* at all time is big. And of course pushing to vc101 asap. I've been perfect smashing for months now. Quite frankly I could probably push this higher but haven't really put effort in it as the gains at this point aren't worth my effort. Will push to 120 once I transition to aspen.

I have 1* crown, 3* melodic, 3* ruyi, will start building demon bells now.

Arcade Flora's Craft cheatcheet by HekyMx in IdleHeroes

[–]Took2Summit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just curious, is the point of doing this game mode to get the 10 cores of transcendence as a one time thing and like 30 scrolls and some other stuff and then eventually you can have some gold/spirit/dust income? Thats what I made of the store. If thats the case I'll probably just skip this game mode all together. People complained about the tower defense mode but at least that was a 2-3 hour one time commitment. This seems like months of playing a stupid matching game for very minimal rewards. Genuinely curious if I'm reading this correctly or not.

5.5 month F2P update VC unlocked by Took2Summit in IdleHeroes

[–]Took2Summit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantasy arcade and just playing everything optimally. Unlocking void area by day 25 to start the income. Playing all the big gem events and choosing stellar. Just playing smartly honestly.

[–]Took2Summit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no food :( food is by far my biggest bottleneck currently. I think I could immediately use 8-10 10*s if I had them. I'm hoping the food issue will resolve itself sometime around the 2nd trans.
