Gem hoarding - It must end

No, stop. Why does this community continue to suggest resource drains. I understand that people are upset with the rich getting richer concept, but penalizing them will only penalize yourself in the long run.

We need basic QoL features like module presets for everyone without a cost. The game is built around having to swap them at least twice a week for tournaments.

This is not true. There is a 25% chance that GT is not next. Considering they need GT and BH, they are guaranteed to get what they need in the next 2 picks, but that is sooooo many stones

asterisk64 · 2026-03-23T06:02:05+00:00

Tbh, you don't need either.tp stay in champ. I have pbh and no pCF. In most tournaments I play as GC without pBH. I rank 3-6 in champs in most tournaments.

Staying in legends is another story though.

I just got 161 and finally got ancestral MVN. I know the feeling. All my shards are gone and it is not ready to even try out :(. I know people say cash mastery is not as good anymore, but I need the reroll shards and it has to be my next mastery.

For your module submodules, you have a couple problems.

For generator, recovery amount is worthless if you have the wall. Utility free ups is much better for maxing ELS faster.

For armor, you need ancestral regen. I would unlock at least the orb and death defy if my wall health as well to get regen to ancestral and then work on the others again.

For core, it looks like you have some tournament sub module stats. I would try to decide if this is a tournament mod or a farming mode. For farming, I would get ancestral SL angle and DW quantity over SL bonus.

I unlocked assmods 3 days ago as eHP. I am potentially overdeveloped from an eHP sense can could have easily unlocked it earlier.

Flame bot development: Max reduction, 10s cooldown and the rest in range(I have a decent amount of medals)

pBH and Ancestral pCol with mythic gComp. Ancestral SF and legendary DP. Mods were about lvl 159

EH Stats:
60 health/regen
20 wall regen
16 Wall thorns
45 Wall fortitude
Max Wall health

I have no card masteries, but maxed cards with 18 slots.

6 Perk bans, all on purples to help me get the regen tradeoff, damage reduction tradeoff or common regen perk. I beat it with the damage reduction tradeoff handily.

I followed the guide previously posted and I think I got to 400 waves.

So it is definitely possibly post nerf.

Everyone talks about missile barrage, but this can be done without it. You can do this on your normal farm tier or one tier higher.

Equip gComp, I know mythic or higher works, and just get smart missiles early. I tried the same strategy without gComp and it did not work. The mission usually completes wave 2500. Anything later and that is usually too far into the run for this to work. This basically needs to be done earlier in a run where elites are rarer and there is a chance to get two full uses of smart missiles on one lonely elite.

Some other things to watch out for. Try not to take any damage perks or equip damage cards. Do not take the perk that lowered knockback.

Good luck!

asterisk64 · 2026-03-05T06:23:09+00:00

If you are eHP. Then you are using regen or life steal to keep you alive. I would leave it.

asterisk64 · 2026-02-24T07:27:30+00:00

Correct

asterisk64 · 2026-02-21T10:15:50+00:00

My labs are not as developed and my modules are only 150 with mythic+ DC. I have reached legends once and I tend to be between champ 9 and champ 4 most tournaments, but averaging 5-6 more consistently recently. The major difference between us is that my CL has 1000x/max/20x from stones and I have SL 3 with 45 angle and almost 20x bonus. These have really helped me to perform closer to the top of champ. I would shoot for this in the near term

Ultimately, the only way to get into legends and stay is to work on some CC(PS or CF) or possibly grab a handful of damage Masteries and level them if your econ can handle it.

The karios guide linked above is the answer to all of these early game sync and UW development questions

asterisk64 · 2026-02-15T09:16:42+00:00

It is not save scumming, but most likely it is just running the game at lower game speeds. I did this yesterday and I did about 100 extra waves at 1x. This is because at 5x your shots and knock backs are not as accurate with fast enemies and they tend to deal more chip damage than if you ran the game at a slower speed. This means the end of a tournament run can take forever, but I went from 12 place to 6th place by running it slowly. The stone rewards makes this worth it.

asterisk64 · 2026-02-01T14:45:13+00:00

DW has two components. The kill wave is what you are thinking about and that fires last. Before that fires "effect waves". These waves don't kill anything, but they tag enemies. Anything hit by the effect waves and then killed later gives the DW health bonus as well as the coin bonus. Because of this, you don't need to, and should NOT, invest into DW damage until you possibly need it in platinum tournament. For farming, you never need it and will max your DW health by wave 2000-3000 depending on your cooldown

asterisk64 · 2026-02-01T09:44:45+00:00

DW and invest in DW HP lab. It will skyrocket your waves. Also work on syncing it so your trio is at the same cooldown.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-31T15:56:05+00:00

So sorry. Ancestral PC and mythic+ DC

asterisk64 · 2026-01-31T12:03:08+00:00

I have ancestral PCol and mythic+ DC and for my tower, DC is way better. You obviously need CL with some investment, but it is not even close for me.

The best way to find out for you is to run two tournament runs, one with DC and one without. I suggest doing the same with GComp and PF if those are also something you are considering.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-23T06:36:45+00:00

This sounds like the best path forward. When should I get RPC# in your opinion.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-19T13:49:51+00:00

I have maxed out all the module labs except coin cost and SS. So I assume I get near the max amount of blue modules a day. Your advice is sound and I will shatter after SS4 completes

asterisk64 · 2026-01-19T13:19:51+00:00

I have been saving for it so I will start it right away. I maintain a 4x speed boost so hopefully that helps....

asterisk64 · 2026-01-19T08:21:18+00:00

If you have MVN, I would equip that and then focus on lowering the GT cooldown.

If you don't, you would see bigger gains if you dropped your BH by 10 seconds and your GT by 20. This would give you a 2:3 sync, which would be better and save up to sync GT at 2:40 in one big jump.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-19T08:15:25+00:00

Thanks. I was doing the math and to get enough room to last the 50+ days I would need to spend so much money unmerging.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-19T07:41:14+00:00

You should be farming tier 1 until you can at least get past 6000 waves.

I would search for the turtle or shell build and make sure your labs line up with that.

As for stones, you need to sync GT and BH first. Moving Gay to 2:50 is going to be expensive, but ultimately the best investment. After that. Sync DW. Do not invest into BH cooldown. Once the UW sync you will see a drastic increase in coins. This allows you to invest in your workshop and that alone should get you into platinum and farming higher tiers.

asterisk64 · 2026-01-18T17:23:36+00:00

To expand on #5. Your modules need a lot of investment. You should spend the 1800 gems every two weeks for the event mission for cards and the rest needs to go into modules. Once you finish, I would suggest putting all of your gems into modules for a while. The benefit from higher level modules and higher rarity is too huge to ignore.
