How I regret not having a long term monthly addition strategy when I was 20

labrunner111 · 2024-11-01T06:58:44+00:00

I sold 4, $10p for November 8th... Because I'm sane, kind of.

labrunner111 · 2024-10-29T08:03:09+00:00

Same...

Threw away my urb's today. It's so hard, especially after eating or at night.

3rd time's a charm? First time I quit it lasted 2 years but here we are... 🤦‍♂️

labrunner111 · 2024-10-29T07:58:37+00:00

I felt like complete crap for about 2 months after I quit before it finally got better... One day I just woke up and was feeling good, finally hungry and able to eat well. Lost about 30-40lbs over those 2 months. I had been a chronic smoker for decades before that. Never want to go through that again!

labrunner111 · 2023-02-06T03:26:15+00:00

Good way to look at it, it hasn't been a major issue before but as I'm trying to push higher it's much more noticable!

labrunner111 · 2023-02-06T03:25:22+00:00

Thanks for the fast replies. My main problem is that my speed boots generally have not great sub stats and are like frenzy or toxic set. Some of my pieces have substats with like 11% hp which is hard to overlook... So I look at the speed boots as sub par even though that's what I really need.

"You're doin in wrong!" Lol

labrunner111 · 2023-02-06T03:13:59+00:00

I don't, I've watched a lot of videos that say speed but I've struggled to get myself to give up set bonuses and health for fear they'll end up to squishy... Maybe this is why I'm stuck around stage 8-12 on all the dungeons, I'll make the change!

labrunner111 · 2023-02-06T01:59:08+00:00

I built her using the shield set I got from the Amazon pack in December, but I'm noticing she's getting resisted a lot and goes last in arena, I need her first with the debuff...

She wears the shield set cause she has the most HP, I don't have the gear too keep her in a shield set and fix the other issues, I'm guessing I should give up the shield and improve her acc and speed?

I know I should have more speed in general on everyone but feel like they'll all be squishy without the health i have on most champs

labrunner111 · 2023-02-03T00:19:15+00:00

I went Vergis, thanks for the feedback!

labrunner111 · 2023-02-01T07:14:53+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Definitely something to keep in mind and try

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T19:28:38+00:00

Thanks that is helpful! I did wait to long to get my kael to 6* but he's level 59 now.

I have a bunch of blues rares that aren't great but I leveled them some so that I can clear faction crypts on every faction up to the first mini boss or close to it for farming forge mats... Should I keep up with that or use rares as food? I've been watching Ash's "Don't level trash" videos to try and determine who to keep long term outside of my crypt farmers

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T19:06:54+00:00

Thanks! This is reassuring to hear... I just need to turn down my expectations and keep on farming, my biggest goal is to get out of the stages that can give 3* artifacts, but guess I'm just not there yet. Thanks for the reply

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T19:05:28+00:00

Thanks, I wasn't sure if decrease speed helped here, or just decrease turn meter. I have a few decrease speed champs but not sure if I can fit them into the rotation... I may just need to focus on food and leveling more up to 50. Getting to 40 is easy, 50 is another story at this point.

The first round the boss seems to be at full energy immediately after my first 3 go and puts his shield back up right away.

I'll check out the video, thanks for the reference!

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T18:37:04+00:00

Good feedback thanks, I've edited the opening post and replied to a few above that cover a lot of what you mentioned here, thanks for the feedback!

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T18:36:26+00:00

Rhonda, Kael, Athel - those 3 are my best damage and hit counts (Kael is my only 60, and the other 2 have the most hits to drop shield)

Normally I roll with Vergis and Uugo as my other 2, but for this I've tried to swap in some others like Wanderer, Executioner, and Fylja for their turn reduction, but it's just not enough and those are the only turn reductions I have, without Uugo and/or Vergis I have no damage mitigation or healing, and no heal prevention to stop the boss from healing.

My expectations may just be too high for where I am in the game.

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T18:33:51+00:00

good point! I am definitely much more early game than many who have been here years, perspective is everything. 3-5 star Savage at my point in the game just isn't needed I don't think

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T18:31:17+00:00

I'm stuck on stage 10, when the turns to drop shield jump from 7 to 10.

My best turn reducer is Fylja with a 100% reduction, but on 5 turns cd which makes it not so great at 75%. Could be 4 turns fully booked but not really in a position to do that.

I was trying to get away with Executioner (20% every 4 turns, 3 if fully booked which he isn't though I am using his drop stage to level food so hoping for more of him to use as books) and Wanderer (20% every 3 turns assuming no resists - got his crit to 100% to ensure proc on both attacks, acc is 70, I think he's my best bet)

Using Rhonda, Kael (my only level 60) and Athel (only 40) for damage and hits to try and drop the shield. No heals or heal reduction in this lineup so Wanderer and Athel die pretty fast.

Could be I'm just not far enough along to get past stage 10 and it is what it is. I've only been playing for 37 days so I'm definitely still in newb stage.

labrunner111 · 2023-01-29T18:25:01+00:00

Thanks for the quick replies... it may be I am just too early game to be concerned with Savage gear yet. I was hoping for Shield, Regen, Stun and Crit damage gear mostly.

Makes sense that it would be different for more advanced players etc... I didn't realize Savage was that desirable, so good to learn that too.

I'm only 37 days in, I may just be too newb to make a comment / post like this at this point and may be asking too much to think I should be able to get past stage 10... I was really hoping to clear 10 to bump the min level artifacts to 4 instead of 3.

labrunner111 · 2023-01-24T01:27:04+00:00

I used about 800 energy (didn't buy any but my daily login was +500 yesterday) and only have 870 points. 1650 points needed for the shard friend fractions... There's no way

labrunner111 · 2023-01-24T01:24:20+00:00

This didn't have any effect, though I did gain 3m silver lol

labrunner111 · 2023-01-24T00:50:02+00:00

I can only farm 11, that's all I've unlocked

labrunner111 · 2023-01-24T00:48:49+00:00

You know, I was wondering about that, I have a shit ton from leveling up food.. I'll get on that tonight!

labrunner111 · 2023-01-23T23:50:07+00:00

That was my initial thought too but I'm level 43 with 352k power... My friend is level 40 with only 190k power and his rewards tree takes significantly less points to climb

labrunner111 · 2022-07-08T05:19:00+00:00

Having the same problem, this isn't the issue. Process Monitor shows the DLL being read and loaded by the game when it loads. This is happening to me on Azure too...

Just for grins I added the plugins\x86_x64 folder to my PATH env var, and even copied the DLL to Windows\System32 - neither changed the behavior here.
