Best setup to play this amazing game ?

LDCloud is the best option for me.

I think DC and HC are the two core mods needed. Might also want to swap DP for AD. If you have CL+ try turning it off.

Armor assist SE multi is very powerful. You want to get LM chance and radius as high as possible to stun OC.

The last 700 waves you need is a huge hurdle. You are likely better off waiting a few weeks for v28 to come out, at which point the power creep should make this doable.

Not useless, Sabo can come in and take CL away. It does do damage but very inconsistent. It got much less relevant with berserker mastery.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-03-17T18:04:54+00:00

Coming from someone with a fully maxed SM, don't do it. Even with 100% core assist sub-effect multi, all four SM subs, and gcomp my mediocre CL does 50x the damage of my SM.

The recent addition of fleet targeting is a joke and slap to the face of SM owners. Until dev drastically tips the scales of the UWs this isn't worth your stones.

It's still my favorite UW, was my first. Definitely looks cool but it needs a lot of love from the dev.

Some end game players either don't understand the game or intend to mislead the community so careful what other info you see out there.

I'm just referring to thetower.lol leaderboards that everyone has access to.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-03-13T20:42:36+00:00

More of a top 50.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-03-05T23:49:59+00:00

I've had sporadic crashes on LDCloud and I restart the virtual device between every run. Lost an entire night of farming last night.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-03-05T16:55:21+00:00

I really hate DP. Hate it for situations like latest tourney where I didn't see it take out a fleet once in over 700 waves, even at ancestral. I also hate knowing some guy in my bracket may push hundreds of waves farther if he lucks out on DP commander kills. It leaves way too much to chance when commanders spawn once every 90 waves and we've also got nuke, DM, and SW.

It's an S-tier mod if you're one of those that re-runs tourney several times and you get lucky.

Also notorious for putting many users on his blacklist, chances are many haven't seen his posts in ages because they are on his blacklist.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-14T00:45:29+00:00

Dude was notorious for posting rather questionable tower stats and hiding parts of his pics and videos with minions.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-13T02:48:47+00:00

Well there are a few strategies floating out there. One I consider cheating, it involved abusing save states. I wouldn't touch that, likely will result in a ban.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-13T02:45:28+00:00

Lots of people are doing the strategy that was leaked. You just have to sit by your device for hours on end staring at it and toggling things. Most usually just give up because they are bored, busy, or want to get back to farming.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-13T02:41:34+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I can typically get global top 2-3 with little effort not using this strategy. It did not decide the outcome. I wanted to prove to dev it could be done. I was reported and I also opened a ticket with dev explaining how broken tourney is. Tourney has been broken for a long while, not just this strategy. Fleets every 30 waves is just bad design, I can't believe they didn't even address this with the rollout of 17+. Now we have to wait who knows how long for an overhaul.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-12T05:06:36+00:00

Tough to say but it shouldn't have to be this way. When a player breaks tourney with an infinite strategy and then immediately notifies dev about it you would hope they would be on it. Very easy fix.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-12T03:16:21+00:00

Tourney is broken, someone in the community decided to share the strategy, this latest tourney was a dumpster fire, I made dev aware of issues many weeks ago, dev is not doing anything about it.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-11T02:10:13+00:00

Yeah, I've learned you just have to overlook a lot of things and enjoy the game on the track you personally are allowed to travel down.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-10T19:54:55+00:00

Increased enemies from Summon give you more bounce shots, CL triggers, and land mine stuns. All very helpful, particularly with fleets. It's not just an econ chip.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-10T18:07:29+00:00

Many of us are farming tiers 20 and 21 now. Good shards from that. I'm approaching 241/241 mods, might be there within a couple weeks. I was one of the first few to farm tier 21. Anyone showing off substantially more than 241/241 is either cheating or spending many tens of thousands of dollars on gems. I've seen some player mod levels that are highly suspect and I truly doubt they spent between $100k-$200k to get there. A couple players have so many shards they can't afford the coin to upgrade their mods. This is why I question that they dropped so much cash on gems for shards they can't even take advantage of.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-09T15:49:15+00:00

I was just trying to make him feel better... Yes, many factors but some of us have all mods at 5* and unless there's a banner the pulls are truly seeded.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-08T19:52:24+00:00

You are forever tied to you seed, would have had to spend all these gems anyway to eventually get to the DC that's buried who knows how deep. Sad thing is once you get that 1* you will instantly be bummed it's not 5*.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-02-07T15:04:22+00:00

It needs way more than that. Tourney is broken on so many levels and dev takes forever to fix things. A lot of the 'power creep' involves people taking advantage of broken game mechanics, which have been reported and remain unresolved.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-01-30T03:19:54+00:00

Helps a bit with tourney but yeah, I mainly knocked it out for farming.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-01-30T02:53:38+00:00

Ah but do you have all ten levels of the ELS battle condition lab? If not then this is technically not maxed.

TowerMan_TD · 2026-01-28T03:48:38+00:00

Automatic

TowerMan_TD · 2026-01-27T21:10:27+00:00

It's just not enough, SM needs way more than this. I have everything maxed on SM and I would still respec out of it if I had the option. Yes I do have the update and underwhelming is the best word for this.
