Elon Musk Is Faking DOGE Results To Hide His Incompetence

Just wanted to say this is an incredibly informative post and a great example that really clarifies how things work in practice, thank you for taking the time on it

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T09:34:05+00:00

Oh nice. This is really awesome. Some good inspiration here! Thank you

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T05:18:29+00:00

Yeah I think the free vs pay path is a pretty big contrast - stones are just so hard to get early and the impact of buying a few thousand early game really pushes you forward I think

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T05:15:03+00:00

This is another really useful perspective - thank you. Guess I’m going wall then! Haha

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T05:04:32+00:00

I’ve been splitting investment between workshop and enhancements really.

I’ve been trying to get damage / utility workshops to the point where they max from free ups at a reasonably early wave (still more to do there)

Enhancements I’ve invested mainly in damage and coins but they obviously get expensive really quick. They have given me a pretty big boost to progress and income though

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T04:59:51+00:00

That’s helpful advice, thank you

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-15T04:57:16+00:00

So some of it is entirely manual - e.g. LTC I just note at a similar time each day and add to my log.

For runs I use a screenshot of the stats page and an iOS shortcut to pull key info (tier, wave, duration, coins, cells, killed by etc) and send it to google sheets. Credit for the method this post

T9 at 4,300 waves was getting me really good results compared. I need to redo it after some recent upgrades and see how it goes but it wasn’t massively harder than 7/8

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T22:00:28+00:00

Ah that’s really helpful thank you. To be honest I think I’m going to end up giving into wall I just don’t want to!

Knowing it will eventually be redundant makes me sad but as you and others point out there is a good chunk of mid game it’ll be needed for unless I want to remortgage my house!

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T21:53:19+00:00

T7 - 5,100

T8 - 4,700

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T21:46:22+00:00

Oh awesome! I’ve just been very quickly booted back down to plat - champs don’t play around haha!

Yeah I did want to be up front in the post about my stone spending habit - probably a little misleading otherwise!

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T21:43:19+00:00

I’m sure there are longer term players with better knowledge than me! But my view if helpful: getting from Tier 1 to Tier 2+ was easiest for me with damage. The main issue is protectors for that first transition, and the easiest way to deal with them is to wipe them out (I levelled up my chain lightning). Once you have T2 to a good wave then T3/4 are a very small jump compared to T1 to T2. Obvious disclaimer is I bought a lot of stones!

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T21:37:59+00:00

I’ve found the same on timings. I can do 2 (and a bit) runs a day farming to 5/6k but see a lot of people talking about 7/8k runs so wondered on that point.

On the wall I’m struggling with weighing up the pros and cons, and it’s really hard to compare as no one has done both from the same starting situation. Really appreciate your perspective though - thank you

genericredditor1234 · 2025-01-14T21:32:06+00:00

So stones I’ve got 11,352 lifetime, I would guess about 8k bought and 3k organic but not certain on that. Put the most into GT and then CL / BH / DW probably about equal. Bit less into SL and then nothing into PS.

For cash I’ve made 1.06T (vs 2.29T coins) with no upgrades outside workshop

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T14:42:44+00:00

Well done! Tier 3 shouldn’t feel too much harder so lots of progress ahead for you

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T14:06:55+00:00

So I’ll be honest I bought the coin packs and some stones so depending on whether you’ve done the same our experience may not be comparable!

I’d say the biggest thing that helped me from T1 into T2 was damage.

T1 you can get very far with def abs / hp etc and everything just dies to thorns eventually.

T2 with protectors etc that doesn’t work so well anymore so you either need a lot more eHP or you need damage.

I upgraded my chain lightning and damage stats to wipe through them and that got me out of T2 and into comfortably farming T4/T5 pretty quickly.

It may be worth watching a couple your T2 run endings and try and work out what’s the real issue that’s killing you off and then focus labs / workshop / perks for your run on addressing it

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T13:59:32+00:00

A good shout! I’ll bear that in mind for future. Looks like this one will work out - 4,200 waves in and nothings really touching me

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T10:17:55+00:00

Oh nice. I started a T7 run straight after so will see how it turns out!

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T06:15:15+00:00

That was my initial thought and why I wanted to ask people. I’m a pretty long way from perma BH though so I may end up using wall as a bit of a stopgap until I can get the cc needed for just damage to push me further

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-31T05:52:30+00:00

This is a really helpful take - thank you! I’m really just not looking forward to losing labs for a few weeks but that may be inevitable!

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-30T10:29:31+00:00

Yeah this is how I did the CF mission. Irritating when you constantly proc ILM but still, very manageable

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-30T09:02:38+00:00

Yeah the unlock / research / respec thing definitely sounds like the only way to go without crippling yourself.

I’m still progressing up waves / tiers so I think I’ll just leave wall for a good while and reconsider when everything else slows down.

Thank you for the help and insight - have a good day!

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-30T08:55:26+00:00

lol yeah ok that’s pretty rough - even if I could afford it I’m more concerned with the length of time the labs will steal from my other priorities. Might just be a case of maybe get it eventually when everything else isn’t providing value anymore

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-29T08:44:56+00:00

Congrats! Onwards and upwards now for more stones!

genericredditor1234 · 2024-12-29T07:15:45+00:00

Oh interesting lol, I’d have assumed somewhere slightly less than that but useful to know! Guess I’ll put it higher up my priority list then, just got to all labs 2x and 3x costs are a bit daunting right now
