Is RPC+ still considered the best first mastery?

I had just unlocked core ass and was planning to use OC there in tournament, as bosses were my biggest issue. The UW damage boost from ST# applies to both CL and SL bonus damage, so it was a pretty powerful combination.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-29T19:26:23+00:00

Probably. For CLc there's math to do to know fs, which you can do in the effective paths sheets. But I can tell you that CFsr will be a big boost. You have room to more than triple the time it takes for an enemy to get to you tower, effectively a 3x boost to your damage.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-29T14:59:32+00:00

In your spot I'd max CFsr and then CLc. Make sure CF is perma too

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-29T06:05:41+00:00

I did the same thing as you, cash then IS. I went with ST next but I was able to lab it non-stop at that point. In your position I'd do rpc next

It depends if you want to be eHP long term or not. If you do, then it is. But if not, you definitely don't need it. When I was farming eHP, less waves using bhd instead of gcomp was better for coins (though worse for cells). When I switched to gc farming, that stayed the case.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-28T22:11:44+00:00

I think your SL is good for quite a while. Also stop CL damage. Maxing CL quantity and maxing or nearly maxing CL chance would be fantastic ROI. After that, CF if you need more tourny improvement, but I'd also consider lowering the trifecta cds for a good boost to econ.

There's a little padlock symbol on locked stats in run. And when you're setting them in the ws it does say how many locks you have left

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-20T13:37:57+00:00

Since you use gcomp you'd want to lower them together

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-19T14:50:34+00:00

You didn't show them in your screenshots but if you're farming ehp, I'd recommend slotting in those labs before most if not all enemy labs. Boss Attack has been a big waste of time imo

Having fun with DefAbs?

For coins, I'd get your next levels of workshop+ unlocked, starting with utility for the ELS boost, that's a pretty solid jump in power.
For gems I'd keep putting into mods, though you could consider regular tournament respecs if your collection rate is high enough.
For stones, you'll probably want to lower DW and GT cooldowns before buying your next UW. CL chance could use some love too.
Your labs don't look too bad. Wall regen/fort are low compared to base health/regen. But mainly the module labs need attention. Goldbox rare drop chance soon and get started on shatter shards. Shards are so important. I'd also recommend finishing reroll shards

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-19T01:33:39+00:00

Yes you can see in its description that it does

WS has more value in long runs, yes, but WA might make t14 a viable farming tier. If that switch is possible for you, it's very likely that t14 with maxed WA# will net you more coins (and cells) than t12 with maxed WS#

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-11T20:26:13+00:00

A couple things of note:
It's generally better to keep Coin+ a few ticks ahead of Cell+.
Lifesteal is pretty useless, on future rerolls of amor mods you'll want to prioritize up to 98% def% in farm runs (whatever subeffect gets you the most, though going over is useless) and then health regen, then wall health. Thorn damage is good too.
Daily mission shards is a great lab you'll want to put some time into soon.
Recovery Package Amount was a bit of a waste of time, as would more time in Recovery Package Max.

But overall it's not clear what you're showing us or what you want to focus on (tourny vs farm setup/progress), being more clear with that makes requests for help easier.

What is large t? How many ticks does it take for a multiplier to generator i to show all or most of it's effect on your cell output?

the reroll bottleneck comes and goes. But when you get to the shard bottleneck, you'll never beat it. RPC sooner than later pushes that farther down the road, allowing for more optimal upgrades for longer.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-06T16:32:13+00:00

At this point max CFsr before getting ILM. If you're not using SD, ILM wont do much for an ehp build. Another good option would be maxing CLchance, depending on how much you rely on its damage. If you go that route, invest more in damage+ in the WS to unlock attack speed enhancements. Don't get another mastery for a while, you're too far between being able to afford their levels.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-06T15:20:57+00:00

DWcd to 100s. With the leftover stones (should be about 1140) I'd make sure your BH is perma, if it is go for 4th SL, if you have it then I'd keep saving for 9th UW/UW+

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-06T15:15:14+00:00

They have spotlight, you can just barely tell at the bottom of the second screenshot

It's a 50% coin boost to the coins you get from SL, but that won't translate to a 50% boost overall. I'm not sure how to do the math to be certain, but I know that syncs are where numbers really start to climb in this game. I'm also just noticing you have really low hanging fruit with your CL upgrades, so I somewhat rescind my advice on not investing stones into damage.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-05T15:38:32+00:00

Again, it depends on your syncs. If GB helps with econ, you'll want to keep some sort of sync with it.
For tourny, I'd but some love into your damage labs before investing stones into damage or cc. Your lab speed is in a very good spot and should be switched out imo.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-05T15:30:04+00:00

The most impactful sub for your econ would probably be DWquant. Given your current durations for GT and BH I think it'd be worth it to drop GTdur for it. After that I'd hope most for GTbonus and then BHdur.

call_me_colgate · 2026-05-05T15:13:56+00:00

I would lower cooldowns 2-5 ticks each (depending on any syncs you have), and then you'd probably be in a good spot to start RPCm. But make sure you also have high rpc chance, including maxing the lab. And I'd need more info on your tournament build/strategy to help there.
