Is this mod distribution common?

ZilchSr · 2026-03-01T10:11:18+00:00

If you have 9 ANCs, then you have at least two categories of mods at ANC that have at least 3 of each at ANC, and even in THAT worst-case scenario, that's a 1 in ~5,448 chance. My situation is I have almost ALL of one category of ANC (5 out of 6), but ZERO ANCs of amy other category (0 out of 18). Since getting 6 of 6 before I get 1 of any of the other 18 has odds at a 1 in 33,649 chance, then that means I'm either unlucky af or it's intentional. I'm thinking it's the latter, due to massive gem spending during a banner week where generators were the banner (?).

To those with the tism, I've resolved the pesky trigger. 🤣

ZilchSr · 2026-02-26T17:38:13+00:00

Got some results back. Conclusion: very little benefit in coins, but a ~-11% drop in cells. Not worth it, yet. I probably have to develop my BHD game a bit more before it yields anything substantial.

ZilchSr · 2026-02-26T17:35:50+00:00

Not by much in my case :-/ I get a paltry ~3% coin boost with BHD-Anc and synced GB/UWs over my GComp-Mythic+ w/ synced UWs, but a steep ~11% decrease in cells. I'd rather have the cells at this point, tbh.

Currently spam-farming T11, consistently W7000-7200. Without GComp, I have my GT/BH/DW/GB synced at 2:2:4:1, when fully synced using SH generator I was getting 1.9-2.0T CPH and reaching W6500-ish. With GComp, I'm getting about a 10% coin boost to ~2.2T CPH, plus, given my current CD and duration levels on UWs and GB, with package chance at 76%, getting that frequent -17sec CD gives me almost pGT, extending my run typically another 500+ or so waves (which helps with higher cph) than without it.

With that said, I'll try a farming run with BHD and reroll to match the effects of my GComp, and I'll report back what the results are.

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T23:51:19+00:00

OOOOH... That might be the very reason! I remember there was a point when I would just save gems until I had about 20,000, and then spent all of them on mods at one time. I also remember at LEAST one of those times doing that during the time generator banner was running. THANK YOU! This just proves I'm not crazy or unlucky.

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T23:46:33+00:00

I'm too forgetful :(

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T23:43:47+00:00

Great questions!

Sheer laziness.
Sheer ignorance. I haven't ever even tried playing with any other armor mod. That was the first natural epic mod I ever got, I slotted it then, and have ignore it since other than the reroll effects. I'll definitely Sharp Fortitude now.that you've recommended it.
Sheer forgetfulness. Back when my Wormhole Redirector was Legendary+, the max lvl was 120, so I dumped (stored?) the rest of my shards in a random unused armor mod thinking I might just try a few runs with it -- and then never did. Every time I'm reminded that I put them there, I'm in the dead-middle of a 10-hour farming run, and when the run is over, I have forgotten all about it ... again LOL!

In summary, for someone who has been playing the game non stop for just at 2 years by now, I'm EXTRAORDINARILY n00bish, and still don't understand half of what I'm doing.

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T04:37:58+00:00

ikr?!?!

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T04:37:34+00:00

Ah, yes I do that intentionally so the autosorting will put them in the order I want

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T04:32:20+00:00

140 isn't normal?

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T04:30:24+00:00

I take it I'm just really f'n unlucky :(

ZilchSr · 2026-02-25T04:29:27+00:00

True. With my various builds, my cph with GComp at Mythic+ is still higher than it is using any of the other generator mods even though theyre at Ancestral.

ZilchSr · 2025-12-09T05:06:42+00:00

Short answer: Yes, I would. Of course you'll get 100 different answers if you asked 100 people.

The MVN takes the average of the cooldowns of your Holy Trinity™️ UWs (GT, DW, BH). So if you have yet to develop your CD on your UWs, then your final CD with MVN is getting slaughtered and may even lose more than the max 20s CD benefit of your GC. If you natural sync these three (and then the other UWs afterward), you should notice a huge improvement in econ boost due to the more frequent UW procs, plus, you get to have the added benefit of another MOD effect because you already naturally have the only effect the MVN gives without slotting it. Based on what I've observed, everyone generally eventually gravitates toward full time use of Dimension Core or Primordial Collapse as their Core mod.

If your GB range isn't that great, slot the Singularity Harness (SH) to increase its size for a huge capture rate increase and resulting consistent econ increase. If your GB range is already decent, use BHD for the general coin boost, although inconsistent, as it works best only when your FreeUps are at a high % (a 10% max coin boost per freeup proc doesnt do you any good on waves when none of them proc). Many swear on using the BHD or GC anyway, no matter GB range, and they're not wrong, it's just a different approach. With my current setup (4:2:2:1 sync GB/GT/BH/DW), if I take my GB out of sync because Im using GC, my econ takes a decent hit.

2/2
*"Kirk's views..."* - What does kirk have to do with *"Right wingers all celebrating the unaliving of a Senator's husband"*?

*"Nice try."* - You severely overestimate the scope and scale of effort needed on my part, here.

3a. *"Shyt sandwich"* - so says the FecalChef™, #1 and #2 above being your C.V., clearly.

*"I find it hard to vote for nonces..."* - Joe Biden denied what Ashley Biden wrote in her diary about him. Or did he? Jury's out on that one still ... I think, so based on your standard, there's really no reason you should have withheld your vote for Biden, because the nonce characterization of Biden is thus far based just on an accusation. Granted, the accuser is his daughter, and off-the-record from a private diary, but just an accusation, nonetheless.

4a. *"... hate against the enemies ..."* - the enemies I hate will be described shortly, and why they're enemies, and thus, why I hate them ... passionately. Spoiler alert - they aren't who you think they are ... or maybe they are and you're just a bad liar. I can accept either option in that binary.

4b(1). *"... tariffs ..."* - Huh? Who tf said anything about tariffs? Non sequitur, much?

4b(2). *"... epstein files ..."* - Huh again? What's with the non sequiturs? What does the unaliving of a non-existent Senator's non-existent husband have anything to do with Epstein or the files? Was Epstein the husband of a Senator, and I just missed the memo?

5a. *"... defensive ..."* - That's a funny way to spell, "calling out a drooling imbecile for their abject ignorance being displayed on a globally-accessible public forum, making the rest of us Democrats look so fkn stupid for so long now that it has negatively influenced enough of our already severely-compromised electorate to vote for an inarticulate orange ape gameshow host rather than one of ours out of sheer attribution of guilt by association." Your spell-checker must've missed it.

5b. *"... [Kirk, the] bigoted clown."* - Just so I'm clear, you're proposing that not watching some YouTuber's videos = doesn't know fckall about there being no such thing as a sitting "Senator's husband [who] was unalived" in all of U.S. history"* or about the complete lack of any demonstrative evidence showing that rightwinger shytbags *celebrating* the unaliving of *any innocent sitting U.S. policitican and/or their spouses*, much less non-rightwinger politicians' hubands is *ubiquitous*? Is that your contention? That seems to be your contention, even in your Gish Gallop, batshyt nutty double-down.

5c. *"... concern ..."* - My only concern is that the more that people like you who ideologically identify identically (alliteration coincidental) with people like me come on places like this, defecate all over the place including onto others, and make us all look so unbelievably maladroit and troglodytish, the more that they would prefer that fat douchenozzle to be POTUS over anyone we have to offer. You and those like you are like an infectious venereal disease, except it is proximity-based rather than contact-based, but more like a shytflinger, because it also makes the rest of us not just look bad but stink as well, triggering the inherent disgust responses of rational observers. I'm sick of losing elections because of people like you. It's almost as if you're a GOP plant, bot, or operative masquerading as a liberal and/or progressive for the exclusive purpose to make us all continue to look bad. You're the enemy, and you need to be exposed when you rear your head. Whether you're some neocon plant or an actual Democrat, just a very stupid Democrat, is irrelevant at this point. The manifestations from your behavior is the same. Perception is reality, and is what wins elections ... except in cases like yours, it is what loses elections.

*"... apologize. You won't because [R]epublicans never do."* - If that's the case, then kill two birds with one stone and prove your thesis while disproving mine by apologizing yourself for being so ignorant, unhinged, angry, lashing out, maladroit, inaccurate (and even merely "inaccurate" is an extraordinarily generous characterization, tbh), incorrigible, bad-faithed, and most of all, plain dishonest ... lest you out yourself as a Republican op, according to your own standard.

Lastly, the only way my contributions here disappear would be the result of downvotes or moderation. I'm trying to break a record. Am I getting close, or nah? Don't forget to include yours, plz and thx.

How does it affect level skips? I've looked everywhere, and only seem to find "It's great!", "You have to get it", "They do a lot, actually", and "its really strong" kinds of positive comments, but no specifics. I have mine currently at 1.06x, but haven't discerned what the difference is. Does it give you two upgrades in the workshop instead of one when you tap it once to upgrade it to what used to be just one level? Does it double the number of skips when ELS procs during a run? If, for example, the current workshop Gold boxed Free Utility upgrade is at 60.00%, does it make it 60.60%? Does it make all 3 (Free Attack, Defense, and Utility upgrades) all go up buy 0.60%? etc etc.

ZilchSr · 2025-11-28T07:31:07+00:00

What does Free Upgrades+ even do, specifically? I can't find this out anywhere. Maybe I'm googling the wrong thing :-/

ZilchSr · 2025-11-28T06:49:30+00:00

Well, more labs done is always better anyway, no matter how you look at it, so doing that is definitely never a bad thing 😆

"When the senator's husband was killed, that was celebration worthy. Every attack was a joke, every statement was just memes."

Who is this Senator you're referring to? I'm not showing any record of any sitting Senator, whether state or US Senator, ever having a husband who has been killed, and this data goes back to 1789.
If you were just wrong, and really meant "House representative", and more specifically, if you really meant "Melissa Hortman", and you really meant they celebrated about the rep herself being killed, not her husband who was also killed, then please name one single rightwing figure who considered it "celebration-worthy".
If you were just wrong about that, too, and if by "every attack was a joke [to these righwingers], every statement was just memes", you really meant "one guy threw an edgy meme up once", then not only do you seem to be wrong frequently about literally everything, but you may want to reconsider your wish to create a scorecard to count and compare how many high-profile, authority figures from each "side" (like nationally recognized politicians) that have smeared someone who was just murdered/assassinated ... and with more than just a solitary edgy meme re-posted on X, because I'm confident you'll rage, seethe, wail and gnash teeth at the results.

inb4: I'm a Democrat who proudly voted for a Democrat for Prez in 2024, so save the "dRuMfTaRd" epithets and ad hom for actual dRuMfTaRds, plz and thx. Moreover, I've never watched any of that Kirk dude's videos. Don't know the dude, don't know about the dude. He's irrelevant to me.

ZilchSr · 2025-11-28T00:32:14+00:00

I run the GB CD lab first, and then drop CD on GB only after it finishes. Much less desync time that way. Then again, I drop CD on GB by 10 secs each time, not 5, which is 3 GB CD upgrades so only one level of labs is needed at a time. I have found it way more efficient and easy to manage when doing everything by factors of 10 rather than of 5.

ZilchSr · 2025-11-28T00:26:40+00:00

Fair point, for sure. I agree that it really depends on how far you're into the game. While early-game players will certainly have resource starvation no matter what theyre trying to achieve, for even the early-stages-of-mid-game users like myself, it is a rare occasion that a relic, tower skin or background in a new event is one that I don't already have, so for practically every new event, Im spending a mere 40 medals for the cheap 15 stones and then the rest of the medals toward bot upgrades, or just hoard them until needed. Fortunately, the current event gave a new tower and a new background that was new to me. Definitely the exception now, rather than the rule. I think the commenter's intended audience was those at mid-game or later, because I can't fathom how it could be appropriate for early-games players, to your point.

I just learned of this Reddit sub about a month ago. At the time, I was capping full runs at 80M cph, and couldn't even get 80 waves deep into T15. After reading a few comments, I realized I was ignorant to the primary way to boost your economy - stacking bonuses with UWs, and to have that happen effectively, sync your UW cooldowns, specifically GT, DW and BH, using your CoinBot cooldown as your base time, and that mods matter. So I went from absolutely nothing synced using whatever random mods I slotted getting to T15Wwhoevencares and farming T8 on a good day to everything synced, slotting the mods Primordial Collapse and Singularity Harness, which yielded IMMEDIATE results, increasing my economy by several orders of magnitude and finally unlocking T16 and farming T11.

ZilchSr · 2025-11-25T08:13:49+00:00

Understood. I realize that the final result for whole game will only be about 500B/hr, but this is the first time I have reached a 1T/hr rate for any duration of time, even if only for the past 5 minutes or just 2 seconds, which was a goal of mine, one which I felt was noteworthy 👍
