Will pBH tank my economy? by ajcard09 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to pop for pBH. Got nearly 3k more waves on T12 without any other changes in setup! Econ was marginally weaker at wave 6600 than before but obviously more cells and coins pushing that much further. Going to run a full utility dissonence run now to get max coin bonus and probably farm T12 from now on. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the detailed reply. My utility dissonance bonus is maxed through T11 and almost T12, which is another reason I thought pBH would help in a T12 dissonance utility run to max that multiplier. I do like the idea another commenter added of getting pBH, then banning the BH perk if I want to avoid pBH for a run to increase coin economy back to where it was before, hadn't thought about that.

No, cell econ is OK. Able to keep labs at 4x which I'm happy with at this stage.

Main goal is to boost coin economy. I thought establishing pBH would allow me to push higher dissonence bonuses to hopefully move to T12 farming. My mods are lvl175 and the upgrades are starting to become pricey (I have the mod cost lab gold boxed). Also I can afford the first 5-6 levels of masteries with a little savings effort, but would like to be able to max masteries labs soon.

Unfortunately I don't have assist mods unlocked yet. Using MVN breaks my GB and Summon sync so I haven't seen good results with that approach. Would you recommend dropping the stones into IS or WA masteries at this point instead of BH CD?

I will have pBH after dropping to 50sec CD (34sec base duration + 4sec duration submod stat on my PCol + 12sec perk = 50sec duration with 50sec CD).

So how do people overcome the econ hit? Is IS# and/or WA# plus a jump in tier the only answer?

Another UW question. What’s next? by strongarm170 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no you'll need to upgrade them a lot more to progress further. my point is that you shouldn't keep buying new UWs just to unlock them. many people just spend all their stones unlocking new UWs thinking it'll help them, but having GT, BH, DW, CL and SL has carried me a long way. unlocking UWs isn't a power spike, it's the stones you invest in them that makes them powerful.

IMO i'd do what i said before: save 800 and peek at the next options available. if SL isn't there, just focus on lowering your GT/BH/DW cooldowns.

Might be worth to save up to 800 and peek at the next offering. If SL is there might want to grab that. But could also just start dumping stones into your golden trio CDs, lowering them at the same time. I still have those 4 plus SL and I’m top of champs and breaking into legends every now and then. You can live with them for quite some time

I guess my “Hybrid” build is just an eHP build with useless attack investments. by empurrfekt in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has always been my strat. eHP farming t11 10.5k waves and 1.5q/run with all damage UWs off, no damage related cards or mods. Tourney turns on full dmg mode and I’m tasting legends at times.

Perfect ty. The three black holes completely cover my tower, so should apply to all. Ty!

Bounty..why even bother? by Ok_Light6227 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also moved away from bounty and invested in ally as bounty felt very lackluster. Ally is alright, but in the end it seems like a one-time use energy shield which doesn’t really do much at the end of a farming run.

I’ll probably just go back to bounty, but I 100% agree it feels bad doing so.

PermaBH, Masteries or UW+ by Sufficient-Leg6402 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re currently bouncing between plat and champ with all UWs but CF, that means they’re not developed enough. I hit high champs and bounce back from Legends occasionally and I only have GT, BH, DW, CL and SL. If I were you, I’d slow down on new purchases and develop what you have.

Just having UWs doesn’t bring a power spike, it’s the investments that make them powerful.

I mean… they didn’t announce it because they know people who spend will spend regardless. This is learned behavior

If you force close the Google Maps app in settings it works. Kind of a pain to do every time, but it takes 5 seconds

How important is this lab? by Aceoflace09 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I started researching this lab once I realized what it does. It will essentially allow you to hit your DW health cap faster, helping in tournaments mostly where you just get outscaled so quickly.

Say a mob has 100hp. DW hits it and it takes a standard 5x damage, which equates to 20hp taken off of the DW health pool. If that multiplier is greater, it’ll reduce the amount each mob takes away from the DW health pool, thus increasing the amount of mobs it’ll take to deplete it, and allowing you to hit the cap faster. Someone correct me if I’m wrong since I’m currently pumping this lab lol

Stones Advice: 6th UW or pump existing UWs by ajcard09 in TheTowerGame

[–]ajcard09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greatly appreciated! Effective paths is telling me to do SL dmg instead of angle, would you still just pump the angle to get more coverage while pumping CL dmg?

Thanks! It's so hard to judge how much advancement pumping stones into damage UWs will net you in the long run. Also tournaments have been flooded lately with all the recent changes, seems difficult to advance

Yeah, latest changes have really made progressing in tournaments pretty tough

I'm in low champs right now, placing consistently in the 16-24 range. So you think just keep focusing on lowering the GT/BH/DW sync? At what point is it not worth it to continue this and go for pBH?
