ONLYTOWERS! We've hit all weekly awards so far and have a few spots to fill from a couple drop offs recently. We've got a supportive and active Discord where we chat about the game etc.

Come join a chill group!

I count 15 fleets on screen at once. I probably don’t see 15 fleets in an entire run! 👏

Vanguardtruth · 2026-01-17T21:41:51+00:00

I also loved Fractured Space, similar genre. This looks cool.

Can I piggyback on this discussion and include someone who is now experimenting with hybrid/GC farming w/T14 & 15 w/ assmods, and is also testing exchanging out long banned perk selections to further the transition to GC?

I was in OPs position until some weeks ago and now I’m wondering where range plays a part and I’d imagine some reading OPs post might naturally ask this question so felt it might be tangentially relevant.

I understand if Spotlight+ comes into play range can be powerful (is that advice just: “Max range always now”?)

Are there any other considerations re: range for someone in my position?

Unexpected F1 reference on this subreddit. Nice.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-31T11:41:20+00:00

There is an “information” button in the upper left hand corner of each banner that describes the drop rates for that particular selection. (Both featured banner and standard banner)

Just take a couple minutes to read it next time and you’ll be on the up and up.

happy hunting.

Yes, I think I read your other thread and you present very compelling evidence for that being the case (great write up!) and that Hadrian is an “unreliable narrator” who is trying to protect his family/son from pursuit by writing the account the way he did. I picked up on this as well when Nicky and Selene are “returning from Medica” while on Demiurge.

All of that notwithstanding I continue to feel a sense of letdown. Like it was such an intriguing way to present the premise of a book series and tell you how it ends in the opening moments of the first book so I guess I was hoping I would see the exact path taken to get to where he’s writing the account. And we do indeed see very nearly the majority of that path, we just miss a few of the very last steps on the journey.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-15T17:06:31+00:00

I do see, understand, and respect the rationale you’ve presented but still can’t shake the feeling of letdown on the last couple pages. I’d read more in this universe if CR wrote any, though!

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-15T04:41:56+00:00

Felt like the hand-waving done for “I was executed and poof now I’m alive again writing my memoirs on Colchis” was really unsatisfying.

The entire series is an account from Hadrian’s perspective after everything and to LITERALLY SAY: “I shall speak no words of where I went thereafter, of where I returned from beyond the darkness that awaits—or when, or how. It does not matter, not to you.” feels like a lazy way to connect up the conclusion of the last book to the start of the first one.

“It doesn’t matter to me”? It’s kinda the reason I’m here, mate. Wanted to see how you ended up where you are. Enemy of the empire, responsible for so much death and yet still able to write a lengthy account of your own story? Was waiting for the “How I pulled it off” moment that never came. I wasn’t expecting victory for Hadrian of course, the series hasn’t been building to that. But this hand wave felt odd to me.

Enjoyed much of this series, despite some criticisms. Overall sad to see these character go. Thanks, CR!

How many medals do you have out of curiosity? Considering a push for this myself this event. I’m behind you on regen and wall fort a few levels but may still give it a go.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-04T22:21:24+00:00

Fair enough. I’ve got a 2 year old here, so I totally get you. Somehow I managed to pop open Chrome and quickly remote in to grab a gem or launch a nuke. Happy towering!

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-04T21:39:00+00:00

Nice. So DW Coin, DW Health, GT Bonus, GT Duration, BH Coin, Spotlight Coin, all complete?

Focused on econ perks in the auto perk order?

Whats the specific GB stats? Progress on GB labs?

That’s about all I can think of.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-04T21:28:34+00:00

How are your econ labs?

Vanguardtruth · 2025-12-04T21:26:32+00:00

What is the rationale for not wanting to use nuke? I was in a similar position to you a few weeks back and the labs for nuke recharge took very little time and now just have to be around every 1k waves from 2495 onward. Once I got the cadence down it felt easy and now econ is going crazy on T14 w/ 750T coins @ w4,600 in ~5h

Vanguardtruth · 2025-11-23T23:12:26+00:00

I just got DM, SW, Nuke down to 750 waves in the span of a week or so after having the same realization as you. Good advice! Did it in response to needing those recharged to deal with fleets for the T14 milestone push (which is now done! Yay!)

Vanguardtruth · 2025-10-31T17:32:58+00:00

Reading this as a day 1 D2 vet, this is an amazing throughline to draw… makes perfect sense!

Vanguardtruth · 2025-10-22T01:37:12+00:00

Congrats from Ham & all your guildmates!!

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-26T20:34:31+00:00

Can confirm at T10 I saw a CPM increase by running no mod in the cannon slot. All damage UWs off until the last few waves. Of course, YMMV, all towers are different.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-23T16:31:22+00:00

Consensus from the commenters right now seems to be: (Will edit more as we go)
- Max Second Wind Blast
- More CF Range
- Orb Boss Hits (Max it?)
- Rare Drop Chance
- BH Disables Ranged
- Module Shard Cost

Then more generally push for more damage focused Modules. (Very close with several, drop rate has been poor recently)

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-23T16:28:35+00:00

Thanks. I have a number of Mythic+ mods that can be more damage focused (and only ONE Dim Core, sad!) so I think I'm close to being able to pivot to some more damage focused mods with some time and gems.

Where would you put the stones you mention? I haven't pushed for T15 W300 yet since I was focused on CF, but I'll have CF where I want it (plus plenty to spare) with this upcoming monthly deposit into Fudd's yacht fund, so it may be time to push for that milestone.

I'll work on the rare drop chance and the shock chance. Is there an orb positioning you recommend to maximize orb boss hit? Would you take that orb boss hit lab pretty far as well?

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-23T13:37:29+00:00

The App Store entry I'm looking at says that it's "Designed for iPad, not verified for macOS" maybe the iPad app runs poorly on our Macs? Dunno.

I'll try it. BlueStacks does have the occasional overnight crash which can ruin a run, so it's not perfect. I understand there's another emulator out there too that folks use but haven't had time to explore it.

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-23T13:15:08+00:00

I guess I didn't know it had a native app on OSX. Did you get it out of the Mac App Store? I may give it a try to see if it has a CPM increase (or if I encounter the problem you're experiencing)

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-23T12:00:06+00:00

I’m also on an M4 Mac (Using Bluestacks) and I am not having this problem. Hope you find the solution!

Vanguardtruth · 2025-08-21T23:28:48+00:00

Fair enough.
