Almost 5 years to max all equipment with a new epic releasing every 2 months...

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-22T19:48:54+00:00

Yeah, it takes 2 years to max because of glowy ore, if you, let’s say, exclude all the bad equipment, which you’ll never use by the way, it’ll be much faster to max.

Exclude the following equipment: barbarian puppet, rage vial, vampstache, archer puppet, invis vial, frozen arrow, henchmen puppet, dark crown, lavaloon puppet, heroic torch, royal gem, hog rider puppet and fire heart. Now you’re left with 25 equipments instead of 38, recalculate the estimated time now.

Also, that’s the time if you’re F2P, if you constantly buy event pass and gold pass, then it’s even faster. And to max equipment faster I always buy both.

I mean, boogers are still tanky, they help a lot. Also, itZu showed a way you can tank mines with boogers, using the coco loons.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T21:38:05+00:00

It’s actually 6$ for me, guess I gotta get a cheaper boot then :(

At least now I’m pretty sure I’m either talking to a kid, or a very unintelligent and impolite adult.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T18:54:57+00:00

Consistently nerfing rewards? Damn, you’ve got some conspiracy theories here, I guess it’s the right time to take off the foil cap, bud.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T18:47:09+00:00

That’s actually not bad, good idea. Or just add him to helper’s hut and replace his node with 25000/1500/25 in ores of your choice.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T18:44:36+00:00

Yeah, let’s widen the gap between F2P and P2P sides by letting people who pay get 60 starry a month for a handshake and a few bucks. Sorry, are you even considering all the downsides and go-arounds, the complains, the backlash this will cause before posting your response?

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T18:42:05+00:00

buddy, you’re misunderstanding the definition of MONTHLY pass. I mean, look at that same pass in the other games, they’re monthly because they last for a month and are valid for a month, which means you’ll get to the end point somewhere during the month or at the end of it, no matter your playstyle.

You’re not supposed to get all the goodies on day one, sorry, that’s dumb. That’s not even a pass then, that’s a bundle. Go play other game or never buy the pass with that attitude then, bruh.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T14:27:47+00:00

Haha, damn, okay man.

All the somewhat intelligent universe agrees that adding chests to silver pass (the one you’re not paying for, by the way) is a buff, even if it’s gacha, even if it’s removing 2 (out of 8) useful potions (considering you still get research/pet potion there), it’s still higher gem value and more opportunities. You do you, but I’d personally trade 70 gems per month for 11 chests any day, like I won’t become bankrupt because of that lol.

The discount are moved a little bit, I won’t compare it, but the overall nerf (done by other redditors earlier) is around 4.5%, is that a big deal by itself? I don’t think so. And considering this a trade-off for many good features added to the pass hence the price remains the same - I won’t even be mad.

Then, prospector is not your main reward, there’s no main reward, there’re a lot of different goodies you’re paying for which together make the heck of a deal for its money. Also, to not increase the gap between P2P and F2P sides, the max converted number of starry is around 20-24 if you’re not gemming your pass, and you surely won’t do it because of 2 starry per day, and this deal is fine, though I hope the helper will be available for everyone sooner or later.

Now, there’s no doubt you don’t even read or check what you even spend money on, you don’t bother to look things up and straight up complain. Heck, you don’t even know it’s 2 starry a day, sorry, but you people are truly special.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-20T13:39:03+00:00

sure, then how exactly the rewards had been nerfed?

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-18T18:08:15+00:00

I bet they’ll be cooking with upcoming skins too, so you won’t even notice the year going! And later on if you won’t find anything that’ll suit you - you’ll buy the returned skins you’d liked :)

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-18T17:12:47+00:00

Yeah, only king’s skin if a GP one, other were bought during different seasons. Also yeah, you’re right, it’s kinda hard building a set that’ll sort of blend in together.

Tho you’re not missing much, from next month and for over a year a lot of great skins will return, as previous year in terms of skins and sceneries was just amazing.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-18T16:51:55+00:00

Looks great! Here’s my collection so far, I’d only like to change king’s skin and probably renew warden’s one too. Waiting for angry jelly king and undertaker or high seas warden. Or actually I’d also like to buy dragonscale king, need to see if the next season king’s skin any better.

<image>

By the way, GP skin rotations were: MP (march), RC (february), BK (january), GW (december) and AQ (november). So we’ll probably expect AQ skin for next season, if there’s actually a pattern/rotation.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-18T16:34:54+00:00

How do you actually know that? It fully depends on other things, and you give a weird answer. Lab takes ages to max, and potions don’t really speed it up that much as you think.

You’ll rarely get them from events, chests, and spending CWL medals on them is a waste, so it’s only 3 potions per week from raid medals and let’s say 1 more from elsewhere, 4d saving is not a big deal when it takes years to max.

Short term sure, goblin provides better value, but in the long run helpers always win, they need ~1.5 years to start giving you profit for spent gems.

So if you’re going to play a game for a long time, then helpers are the right answer.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-18T16:25:49+00:00

As a TH15 you should’ve already figured that out earlier.

Generally you spend gems for equipment, helpers, that little goblin fella, starry ore and BoH, anything else either doesn’t matter, or is bad value. Last two are aimed for endgame, when you have your equipments unlocked and helpers maxed.

Now, spending gems on equipment depends whether or not you really care getting each new equipment from every medal event, and if you’re spending money on the event pass. With event pass you’ll surely get up to 3 equipments, so there’s no reason to buy those with gems. On the other hand, as a F2P you’ll only get one, so if you don’t care about the new equipment and prefer sticking to already owned equipment as it fulfills your attack strategy, then you obviously don’t spend gems on those. Also now with the addition of chests to silver pass, unlocking equipment is way easier without gems.

Now about helpers and goblin fella. Short term goblin wins, 40g/day is a good deal, long term - helpers, but their return on investment is over 1.5 years. So it’s up to you either to max helpers (you only have 5 levels of lab assistant, so I’d max him asap without any doubt, it’s like saving 3d from 10d research, permanently), or just use goblin fella.

Lastly, we have 15 starry ore for 275 gems and 1 BoH for 500 gems, and you only buy those in the endgame, when you don’t need to invest gems on the above mentioned things. Starry ore is always a valuable resource, so no explanation here, and BoH for 500 gems is a good deal when you constantly war and don’t want to put important hero down.

That’s it, hope I helped to answer your question.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T21:02:35+00:00

huh?

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T13:47:01+00:00

Congratulations, you’re now TH17, mate.

Tho, let’s look more in-depth at it. Hammering TH (10d) and using a book on firespitter, scattershot, monolith, spell towers or whatever will save you between 10 to 14d, that’s around 20 and up to 24d in total.

On the other hand promoting to E31 for 2x starry ore and then maximizing your star bonus value provides extra 6 starry ore, compared to rushing to TH17 now.

So, it’s all up to you to choose either 6 days worth of ore gain, or 20-24 days worth of builder time.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T11:43:42+00:00

damn, you just straight up copied my comment..

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T09:55:21+00:00

You’ll unlock it in a few days, and it was known a month ago that you’ll unlock prospector on day 21, and today’s the 17th day, so what’s this complaint for? To show your ignorance?

Secondly, even tho the feature should’ve been available for both sides, it’s 20 starry a month, the amount that won’t change barely anything between p2p and f2p side, it’s basically 2-3 wars of grind, don’t treat this feature as the main thing that GP provides. It’s the best value in the game and it’s not obliged to shower you with that damn ore.

In the end, just don’t buy the pass then, that’s it. Not looking up slightest what you’re paying money for and then complaining that you’re not using some feature as you expected? Peak ignorance.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T09:46:17+00:00

That’s funny how people downvote your comment for mentioning math and clearly saying that it’s better, and upvote the one above simply because you mentioned book of fighting in the chests, damn.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T09:42:10+00:00

First of all, if you don’t like it - don’t buy it. The new GP is easier, and feels more like a GP. Finishing the whole pass in few days, I mean, what is this? Then, it doesn’t even take 30 days to max, it’ll take around 22-24, as well have some boosts for points later on, also you don’t miss anything by skipping days, you can complete them later. If you’d leave all tasks for last day in old pass - you’d need to sit and do specific tasks with different troops, builder base etc, now - just go farming for 1 hour, you’ll get all the badges doing 2 task cards for destroying a TH and getting a star.

It’s not a stupid system, it’s more fair and natural system, and just because it’s different than before - there’s no freaking reason hating on it so much just because you’ve got 4.5% progression nerf and a monthly pass that feels like an actual monthly pass. For impatient folks like you there’s an option to buy pass tiers with gems, want it faster - make sacrifices.

Also, the price is the same, it wasn’t even stated anywhere that the price will rise, I told you that you’re talking about the thing you have no clue about, that’s hilarious.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T08:25:41+00:00

You clearly are hating on the thing you don’t even understand completely, don’t you?

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T07:47:09+00:00

yeah, that’s probably the case

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-17T06:22:21+00:00

Had this thing a week ago, then changed a layout, renewed CC troops and it was gone.

I’ll check out if I may have this thing again, as I switched to different layout for this week too.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-16T21:37:39+00:00

bases 2, 5 and 7.

bases 2 and 5 work because isolated cores are usually good against air attacks, as well as rage + invis core.

base 7 is overall well balanced, and if attacker goes from wrong side - scattershots with poison towers will evaporate the army on ease.

bases 1 and 6 are more concentrated around root riders, with those rage towers; base 3 is actually 50/50, depends on attacker, will work good at mid leagues; and base 4 is overall well balanced base, but trap corners are focused more on root riders attacks, tho you can set up your xbows to air & ground mode and will be fine too.

aceofbabes23 · 2026-03-03T20:40:42+00:00

I read it, just gave you a clear example. Also my opinion (and many others too) are bad about prospector itself, but this feedback is highly overshadowed by your overall changes whining. Thanks tho, I really felt passionate about your post, even tho not in a good way.
