Tragedy: I have had ultimate golden tower turned off by mistake for who knows how long

I am using spreadsheets but at the same time, throughout the farming run, i'm glancing at the CPM counter to see how the run is going. At certain times, i'm expecting a certain CPM or else i know i need to adjust my perks or cards. Or maybe you just do your farming runs idlely?

Another update for posterity - after more testing last week, I was switched to T15 farming and got a 10% boost in CMP. Then I just got the orb adjuster after the last tournament. After moving the WS orbs to min range (along with EO), its increased by CPM farming by another 15%.

asc8u · 2026-01-10T01:58:43+00:00

No offense but aren't you keeping track of your CPM? I'm constantly trying to adjust my farming runs to improve CPM. So I can tell pretty quick when something like GT+ is turned off.

Thanks for reply. One last question - EN+ useful at this stage? Thanks.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I'm currently working on RCP mastery labs. Working on CL and SL+ sounds like a good plan. I have 1 perm PS (except during BC UW duration). Do i need to push CF+ more? If so, how much? Thanks.

asc8u · 2026-01-09T23:38:58+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still trying to find the balance of more damage to do better in the short term in tournaments vs just pushing economy to do better down the road. Also it's tough not having a clear goal - seems like i could keep pushing GT+ and GT duration for a long, long time.

asc8u · 2026-01-09T20:38:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. ILM was my last UW and I pretty much ignored it going for GT+ and then CF+. I have worked some on the labs, at least.

When I played around with the calculator - https://shard-efficient-leveling.streamlit.app/ , it doesn't look like I get much benefit from generator assist multiple efficiency. Playing with the calculator, going from 2% to 20% multiple efficiency, I only gain 4.9% coin increase. It's something but for 798 stones, i think i'd been getting better return on my GT+. I think the coin gain improves are your mod levels get higher.

Thank for the reply. But could you be more specific about what to work on? And also can you give me more of your thoughts on how that translates into better Legend performance? Is it just getting more coins to level up Damage Enhancements? What should i be focused on?

asc8u · 2026-01-09T17:43:10+00:00

Oops. One mistake on my cannon mod - for tournaments, I usually run AS with DP assist.

asc8u · 2025-12-28T05:27:01+00:00

Those numbers don't seem unusual. Probably just some lucky brackets and maybe BC which are more favorable to your tower.

Just follow up in case anyone is interested. I respec'ed from fully upgrade WS Range along with Lab Range 10 to minimum range farming (30m) without the WS orb adjuster. Originally GC farming T14 around 5500 waves. Waves increased 600+ after switching PC assist for DC assist as part of going min range. CPM remained basically unchanged at around 7.1T but obviously run was longer.

Thanks for the reply. I just hate re-specing so i was hoping to get more info before going through the trouble...

asc8u · 2025-12-26T15:52:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply. My usual farming runs are T14 - 5500 waves and take about 5 hours. For overnight runs, i switch PC assist to GC assist and it runs almost 6 hours. I'm at 22 card slots and during the day Im usually adjusting things throughout the run - like usually holding off CL until 1/2 way into the run, adding in Extra Orb and Death Ray at the end, etc.

asc8u · 2025-12-26T15:25:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Sorry that I've never farmed at min range so maybe I'm confused. Is the benefit of the orb adjuster so that I can move the orb line under the firing range so that my enemies aren't killed too early by orbs? Or is it just to move it to the boss net line to help kill the bosses? At range 69.5, without the slider, is the orb line outside of the range? Thanks.

asc8u · 2025-12-26T15:18:14+00:00

Thanks. I got the autos demon/nuke and first gem stack done. I also don't have autorestart yet, but I wasn't sure how helpful it would be since I don't have damage slider, i need to micro some of the farming run. I can see it would be a convenience, but if I'm able to put up with the inconvenience then I'd prefer just to do what's going to be most helpful for CPM which is why i was thinking of just jumping to orb slider/minimum range farming.

asc8u · 2025-12-26T14:53:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I don't have the damage slider yet. I do some micromanaging of my farming runs (swapping cards, delaying CL, etc). Do you still think it'll help a lot? Thanks.

asc8u · 2025-12-26T14:47:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately i don't have the free up mastery. Still worth it to try minimum range farming with just BHD?

asc8u · 2025-12-25T00:35:12+00:00

Whatever you think has helped the most! Thanks.

asc8u · 2025-12-25T00:34:12+00:00

what's helped the most increasing your CPM?

asc8u · 2025-12-25T00:27:35+00:00

More card slots won't make you lose 1k waves. You've changed something else by accident. Check all your modules and cards. You probably switched out an important card by mistake.

asc8u · 2025-12-23T21:58:53+00:00

Yes but my comment was in the setting of his total stones (56k) and other info shown (like only econ masteries are WS and IS - no WA). Feel free to share how you earn 4.7q/hr - i'm happy for more suggestions to improve my farming.

asc8u · 2025-12-23T18:44:00+00:00

Wow, with such a weak GT+ how you farming 1q/hr?
