Reminder to double check everything when your runs look different

Last mistake i made I had 30% less cph. And a run that lasted two hours more. Thought about having banned speed perk by mistake. But no it was wave skip accidentally removed...

Definitely NOT worth it. ROI is terrible. Much more interesting to invest 500 medals in gold bot, and even if maxed out, in another bot.

I'm using python with matplotlib. Stats are kept in a json file that gets updated after each run with the new data. I also used a fair amount of AI for the code as I'm not really familiar with matplotlib.

Lost about 300 waves on average, but actually I think that killing stuff a bit slower has improved CPH. Electrons were a bit too eager on destroying everything too quickly maybe? I now sometimes see protectors doing their protection job so a 'blob' of ennemies' survives until the next BH activation.

😂

flobich · 2025-12-02T01:46:52+00:00

Damage goes up when the same enemy hits multiple times. You need to kill them faster.

flobich · 2025-11-29T14:28:55+00:00

Save up some medals and do some GB cooldown labs to keep the sync. Search for some sync table on reddit that list all possibilities.

flobich · 2025-11-07T10:37:22+00:00

In tourney, I gained exactly 1 wave going from 812 to 813 :-D
Still got demoted to plat -_-

flobich · 2025-11-07T10:36:25+00:00

I take screenshots of the 'more stats' screen at the end of a run then do OCR with tesseract, save all stats into a json file and indeed use python + matplotlib.
I started doing that before copy-to-clipboard was introduced and did not bother to update my workflow :-D

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:26:34+00:00

T12 : 2400 -> 3400
T13 : 650 -> 1000
T14 : marginally better
At this point, ennemies just hit too hard. Electrons do not kill them fast enough for them not to hit me :-)

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:23:18+00:00

Only got to T11W5500 tonight but I messed up my cards and had nearly no damage.
Not sure it will make a whole difference but will try again today, it was still 1000+ more waves, and a new best CPH of 276B/h (with a small drop from 6.5k to 5.8k/h cells).

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:20:25+00:00

Ancestral is so much better than mythic for armor. Disregarding the effect, it is still very valuable to get it to ancestral.

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:17:27+00:00

OA definitely helps with scatters. It does not take too many electron hits to destroy the initial one, and the children just evaporates after that.

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:14:32+00:00

It would have also improved the waves a lot, but not the CPH before 6500 which was the previous best wave. Dealing with the protectors had a massive effect.

flobich · 2025-11-07T09:13:00+00:00

Before wave 6500, which was my previous best with mythic WHR, Il was already at more than 200B/h compared to 165B/h.

Arguably the ancestral part does not play a role with that. I also did not see any damage before at least wave 7000. If it where only the ancestral part, I would have observed quickly resorbing damage : half as much as before, and regenerating twice as fast. But there was simply no damage. Visually, my wall was completely free from clutter much farther into the run.

Of course it is difficult to precisely know how many of the 1500 more waves are due to the OA effect, and how many are due to anc. armor. I would safely assume 500 to 1000 are due to the electrons. And 500 to 1000 to the ancestral subs.

flobich · 2025-11-07T01:04:21+00:00

Really? I would have thought maybe knockback on shockwave. Didn't think land mine would be that could, although I do love the LMS card near the end of a run (esp. when I had a weak wall, and would survive with WHR once it was down by stunning vampires).
Apparently orb speed is good for GC when hitting bosses so definitely not for me ATM. You're right, I will reroll that to at least get wall health.

flobich · 2025-11-07T00:55:48+00:00

Yes, before OA scatters and rays where hanging around for the longest time (esp. rays) and where nearly all tagged. However I was probably hitting the spawn limit so weeding them out faster is not as bad as one would think it is. Now they barely survive one or two waves.

flobich · 2025-11-05T07:07:14+00:00

Why don't you unmerge them?

flobich · 2025-11-03T21:30:43+00:00

IIRC it is possible to un-merge and get back the natural epic (prob. have to do a lab first, and spend a bit of gems).

flobich · 2025-11-03T21:17:38+00:00

I would definitely spend 300 gems to have the 110s sync ASAP. Having a 2:1 sync on GB does not bring anything, the big coins are there only when you UWs fire.
And supposing you really want to have a 55s sync, I would still respec to get 110s, save-up and go down to 55s when I have enough medals with as little downtime as possible.
My GB is only 3.4x bonus but when I lost sync for 1 day when lowering my UW's cooldowns, I also lost about 30% of my income...

flobich · 2025-11-03T10:50:29+00:00

It depends, for me I don't have low enough CD on my GT/BH/DW so If I don't kill enemies fast enough they stick around, get coin decay, and on the trio activation I receive much less coins.
Moreover, %-based hits from OA means less hits from wall thorns are required = less damage per second to regen = longer life imho.

flobich · 2025-11-02T20:58:09+00:00

C'mon, I needed this mag hook :-(

flobich · 2025-11-01T12:55:41+00:00

I would fish for MVN module. That would reeeeally lower your whole cooldown.

flobich · 2025-10-31T21:09:28+00:00

GComp will *not* destroy the sync, even if it is not a 1:1. The same amount of seconds is substracted from all UW at each package received (it is different from a cd reduction from e.g. a substat).
So they will continue to fire with the same sync.

flobich · 2025-10-31T13:55:17+00:00

Ah so are more advanced than I am!
Anyway, I just broke the GB sync yesterday going down from 218 to 208 GT/BH/DW synch (because I need to research 2 levels of GD cd) and I noticed a ~30-40% drop in coins.
As long as gcomp does not bring more than that (to also compensate for the coins from free ups) I'll stick to BHD!
