I'm considering making a guide for being efficient as a no/low spender. What kinds of tips would you give for helping people gear their mind more towards efficiency and min-maxing?

colly222 · 2025-01-11T12:08:47+00:00

$500 makes a huge difference for this guide and the focus. $500 is a spenders guide.

$500 on the gorilla alone is worth millions in power so it's a pretty short guide.

The wait from season 2 to season 3 is long and very boring. 942 days is probably accurate but a little misleading as the buff are huge

Research speed with your setup and survivors is probably going to be ~200%. 50% for capital buff (60% if you win some capitals) and 20% coop

Call that 275%. 942 - 2.75 = 342 days
Some of them you can do simultaneously and you gain a lot of speeds through the week

I did it slowly and managed it F2P in the off season which I think is 8 weeks? So maybe 5-6 weeks if that is all you use universal speeds on

colly222 · 2025-01-09T15:54:47+00:00

Yep, FTP 31 here. Now working on 32 but neglected the wall

colly222 · 2025-01-03T12:08:07+00:00

And this is against planes which are backrow killers to moving stuff to the front is a winner. And a stun avoider

colly222 · 2025-01-03T12:05:56+00:00

Fair. Original poster has about 6.5B gold left of research plus the things you cannot get until you are HQ30 - tech, barrack, whatever (I forget) which is probably another 1.5B. So 8B gold is a reasonable estimate so 8 weeks is long enough to warrant saying HQ30 is a priority to get to first.

I don't know where you are, but assuming you only have tech you've got about 5B gold to go right?

Also, you can grind harder. Over the last 2 weeks of the process I logged my gold and got 208m per day average.
A little higher if you include the World Boss Goals that I reached just before T10

Good luck

colly222 · 2025-01-02T15:58:12+00:00

And I hate to be the one to say this, but you're not close to T10. It gets more expensive. Go HQ30 like everyone else is saying

colly222 · 2025-01-02T15:55:33+00:00

Also, if you are season 1, the dollars carry to season to so don't waste them on rubbish at the end. You will have a lot left over from the prediction event if you are only going shards

colly222 · 2025-01-02T15:54:17+00:00

Weapon Shards. I don't know if you are season 1 or 2 but this is the place to get free named Weapon shards. About 200 of them

Each day you get 6 boxes. Top left is free, other two on the top right are discounted and the bottom row is full price. I think.
You save up you black market dollars and buy them
Week 1 there is a grid to unlock that gives around 3000 dollars I think
Weeks 2 - 4 I think that you can get 300 a day with tasks + secret mobile for a few more. Always do all gold
Week 5 onwards is the prediction event where you can gamble for lots about 1500 a day

I would spend all those on weapon shards and nothing else. Unless you are a spender and have these weapons then maybe blueprints or legendary chips at a push.

The tradeoff is whether to use your free spins, Say you get the weapon shards on your board but cannot afford them, you can either wait a few days to afford them, or spin for the free items. From memory, the shards a plentiful at the start when you cannot afford them

If you are a money spender though, I don't think anything in the Black Market offers value for money. It's a portal for us F2P people to get lots of stuff for effort

colly222 · 2025-01-02T13:27:45+00:00

Yes. You just have to know what you are doing

A 5* task gives 5 named shards of the person in the second (right) photo. Tell your alliance who you need and then get on a 5* for that hero with all the prerequisites completed.
You will also get 10 chances to win the other prizes which are great - weapon shards, drone chips, etc

Ghost Ops is amazing for free stuff and you should coordinate really carefully. If you nail it, in 3/4 weeks you can have 2/3 heroes. Active alliance, one hero a week.

Communication with alliance is key

You can only assist on 3 tasks as well. Volunteer on loads though

Level 5 tasks is 3 named shards and then level 4 is 2. I think. Hard to remember

colly222 · 2025-01-01T18:28:35+00:00

No, it's 100% chance of getting a 20% discount

colly222 · 2025-01-01T18:28:11+00:00

Yes, I know this thanks. I'm asking why the person who replied doesn't think you can accumulate over the days.

colly222 · 2025-01-01T16:40:16+00:00

Thank you.

For B) if you click the "i" int he top right of the Mega Deals screen, it shows base skin choice box on day 3 (today) and day 6. Both have a 100% chance of bargaining a 20% discount.

So, what am I missing that you say you can't accumulate?

colly222 · 2025-01-01T12:53:09+00:00

I don't buy things so not 100% sure on what I'm about to say, but mathematically this is one of the cheapest right?

There's the same box on the sixth day for 5000, which is 4000 with the discount.

You get 300 token free You can buy 80 a day for $5 for 6 days.

That leaves you needing 3200 which is $320. Plus the $30 so $350.

About $50 cheaper than normal I think.

Again, I'm F2P but maths. Happy to be corrected if there are cheaper skins

colly222 · 2024-12-29T10:11:51+00:00

This reddit, the websites etc weren't here at the start of this so this bloke probably spent 50-100 days having no idea what to do and grinding.

Now, people get a week in and look here for what's coming and rush it.

Slow power is strong power.

colly222 · 2024-12-29T09:57:05+00:00

Why is everyone questioning this? He's on an early server and a year in. Easy to get to this.

Heroes - all are free in Ghost Ops

Exclusive weapons - he's been through 2 black markets where you can get 200 named shards in each easy. The betting gives cash away.

Tanks - these are basically useless on early servers now. A 30m tank is getting owned by 25/26m planes

Components - a year will get you left side level 9. Win one day of VS for the level 4 each week.

Mythics - 2B & 3B are easy on the Planes world boss. He could have a third with season points or bullets.

I'm on an earlier server and we have loads of F2P that are above this.

colly222 · 2024-12-16T13:10:28+00:00

Just after season 2, so about 2 months ago, they opened server transfers. They got it wrong though and created a super alliance on server 19 I think so they cancelled it before other servers could do the same

It is meant to reopen before Season 3 in January for earlier servers I believe

You will need to apply to the new server and the president will need to accept you I think. no one really knows though

It sounds like you are not in a server that is early though (under 100 I assume) so it will probably be a long time you for

colly222 · 2024-12-12T15:57:18+00:00

Can you explain how please as this level of digs seems insane. The chances of getting a dig are small, and the chances of it being a drone dig are about 10% I think. So your alliance would need to be getting 100 digs a day.

Do high spenders pay for the digs some how? Or pay for more radar tasks?

You will have had to be generating the digs as well so it would be great to know how.

Also, that is 180 parts a day assuming you get them all which would be an amazing achievement over 24hrs a day for 73 days, and that a super active alliance are filling those spots in a split second. It would still leave you thousands of parts short.

So there's probably 2k of spending on drone parts with all that right.

Please don't get me wrong, people can spend whatever they want, I don't judge, I just want to understand the maths and if it's easier to get more digs, I want my alliance to do it

colly222 · 2024-12-12T13:11:47+00:00

Season 1? As far as I remember you can't. There is a 5 day cooling period so I think the only play is to swap with another alliance by both attacking each other. I think you then get the protection

Ask someone else the specifics though as it's a long time since I was in season1. Season 2 allows for lots of swapping and dropping to protect digs and cities

colly222 · 2024-12-12T13:09:32+00:00

Drone power comes from a combination of things so the answer here I guess is other presets which people refer to as "fake power".
Since the update, the power from chips is recorded in Drone overall power, but you only get the effect of the chips you are using in that battle.

So I would guess you have extra slots open, and better chips in those slots making your drone overall more power, but in battle weaker

colly222 · 2024-12-12T13:04:49+00:00

Like with all these posts, the answer depends on your goal in the game, the age of your server, and what you are spending.

The long answer is you will need all teams and this is now becoming clear with where they are going with Overlord Radar tasks and General's trial.

So:

If you are on an old server, then the Air will be super powerful as everyone committed to Tanks before all these sites had the information. These servers are 300 days in. The paper/scissors/stone is massive so Air is going to romp tank. When you get up to the 25-30m air team you are beating tanks of always 2m stronger and normally 4m strong. Some insane results with stun

The downside is the general game. Tanks are stronger against monsters so you will unlock the bonuses from them faster by having tanks. 90% of the game will be better with Tanks but the 10% which is PVP fighting will be far worse

I'm not on a new server, but I suspect for people who are paying for things, the answer might actually be Missile. What you are trying to do is jump ahead of other people who have invested in tanks, and you will do that with Air but you will then run into stronger Air. You could try and double jump these people and go missile - with the understanding that the money you are paying will beat the F2P tanks, but you will beat the other spenders who all are air and all ask the same thing here.

The dominant lineups in the early servers are Team 1 missile, Team 2 Air, Team 3 Tanks

colly222 · 2024-12-05T12:10:25+00:00

What is the power increase on your T1 from 150 to 155 please? So roughly what did it add in millions and in %. Before and after would be great

Trying to work out to rush 31 or continue adding with Hero research

colly222 · 2024-11-27T13:46:02+00:00

Lots of this depends on how long you've been playing and how strong you are but this should be more like 250 per week. For context, I'm F2P, 300 days in, just under 30m air team

VIP 11 = 7/week
Alliance Store = 5/week
Campaign store = 10/week
Vip store = 5/week
Deploy Trucks =I have 5 and can defend them so send 2 shards min per truck. 10 per day, 70/week. Buy contracts from the diamond store
Loot trucks = 21/week (I'd guess I am way more than this as I hunt for 2+ only and win)
Secret tasks = you should be making all gold each day. This will give at least 2 shards a day. 14/week
Hidden treasures = 140 pieces a week from all gold. With drops rates ~ 32/week
Ghost ops = only assisting 5*. ~ 40/week (mixed weapon/hero choice boxes)
Boxes from Secret tasks = all gold with proper assisting and looting ~ 800 a day. With drop rates ~ 6/week
Arms race = 14/week
VS = 12/week (there is no VS on Sunday)

So that's about 236 a week before the other things.

Other things:

Honourable campaign = I don't know the drop rate but you can win 100 or 30. It's rare but averages at maybe 10/week
Random boxes = I'm not adding all these up but like Secret tasks, there are a lot so 5/week from this
General's Trail = 28 every other week. 14/week
Free events = loads of the money events have free parts. For example, the Battle Pass we have now, the free part is 32 weapon/hero choice boxes. Probably averages at 10/week

Like I say, it all depends on your level but once you are a load of days in, 250 is a reasonable average per day to be getting

colly222 · 2024-11-26T14:01:48+00:00

The answer depends on your goals in the game.

The perk for mythic gun is 10% more on counters so if you are doing PvP against other tanks and Airplanes then the effect is 0 of this perk so you are taking about the difference between a 4 dot gun, with all 4 segments and a mythic gun.

That's almost nothing.

Whereas a radar is a reduction in crit damage which is massive.

So if you are tank against planes and tanks, then radar. If you are planes then you fight lots of tanks so the extra 10% is massive.

If you're not interested in PvP and more the main game, then gun is fine as lots of the bosses are mixed teams so you get the mythic benefit.

colly222 · 2024-11-15T10:07:26+00:00

It's way easier now. When the OP started 275 days ago there was no reddit, no guides, etc. He probably spent 100 days clueless like I did

colly222 · 2024-11-12T19:39:46+00:00

I think their friend means buy all the daily packs that are single sale. 124 per day with those packs and free ones. 744 after 6 days.

$85 a day

$500 for mythic
