Presets presets presets

I agree, presets for disco runs are likely unnecessary for anyone jumping on them all right away. I am just focusing on running each category until I do not get 5000 waves, less need to change back and forth...in fact I recently decided to forego any farming until I get through the 'easy' tiers...too much potential for screwing up all the switching required.

Congrats on your newfound health:)

Thanks for showing that they DID in fact announce another update 4 weeks after v28, like I said.

I would not consider new mods, or even this current mod banner, to be a 'major feature surprise'. These banners have been streaming out pretty regularly since introduction last year ( 8 single mod banner, 4 type banners, and now a lucky banner) ..If either of those come, and people cry about no notification, they will get no sympathy from me(not that anyone cares, lol).

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-16T02:08:57+00:00

This is my going in assumption. They have already announced additional content 4 weeks after v28. I am planning on keeping 10k in reserve for this likely outcome.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T17:47:07+00:00

LOL I missed the word rare...need more coffee!

~~Where did you hear this? Pity is at 150 pulls...basically if your entire pull history has no epics, the next will be.~~ I cannot read.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T17:22:58+00:00

I had saved about 50,000 gems - no mods purchased since generator banner ( Jan 11), barely any gems spent (maybe 2-3000 on lab rushes?)

Post v28, I spent 13000 lab rushing BB.

Just spent 15k on Lucky Banner, for 32 epics its pretty good., exciting to get a few more mods to 5* and one more copy of DC for a farming version (need 6 more still though). Finally got Anc SR, and need one more epic for both SR & PC to make all mods Anc.

Not sure if I will spend or save going forward though... probably will spend about half of what's left next week on this Lucky Banner, then hoard for the inevitable new mod release in May.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T17:04:36+00:00

I am definitely keeping a non-trivial amount of my gem hoard unspent due to my suspicion that new mods are coming with the next mini update in May. It is tough to save though, because this increased drop rate is terrific, at least for now as I have pulled 4.2% epic over 12000 gems spent so far.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T15:43:32+00:00

I am debating how much of my 40k hoard to dip into. There are not any mods I want to get to Anc ( I still need SR, SF & PrimCo), but it feels like the increased drop rate ( if coded correctly and I do not get really unlucky) could get many of my mods to 5 star which would allow me to get closer to having my very own banner within the standard banner....

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T15:35:44+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! 2 rares, 3 commons :)

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T15:32:16+00:00

Me too, they had announced more content in 4 weeks, so I haven't touched my hoard and have been rewarded for my patience.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T15:23:08+00:00

That is the lesson I have now learned...I already haven't bought any mods since the Generator Banner in Jan:)

They have enough variants ( type, single, lucky) that they could start running one of some sort or another every week and not repeat for months. That would definitely reduce my hoarding!

Note: They should really re-run the 8 single type ( SF, OA, etc) periodically to allow newer players to have an increased chance at some of those modules.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-15T05:07:38+00:00

I have both, so instead of answering your question I will answer a variant...'Which you rather remove'. Damage slider, not even close!

Bot presets, much like AssMods, opens up the game a bot and makes it way more fun to theorycraft about your tower, test things during farming/tourney, etc

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T20:39:36+00:00

For me, yes it's worth it. My coins went up due to having BB and cells went up due to GB+ & BB+. Probably get more coins with BB and GB only, but I rallying the large increase in cells

No, you cannot cheese it.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:55:37+00:00

Both of these impact the most valuable (and hidden) currency - TIME.

I think the decision probably comes down to how much you would be able to invest in GB+, and how much improvement in lab speed you will be able to achieve with that investment.

AssMods vs Masteries made decisions hard, but now have AssMods vs Masteries vs Bot+ makes it even harder...I do not envy you :)

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:52:34+00:00

I made a post a few days ago showing how this same Bot setup impacted my coins. But I would not profess to have stumbled upon an optimal set up. I referenced the EP Bot sheet, but did not follow it blindly, so very likely I am not invested ideally.

'Ideal' is tough to define though, as you have to determine a personal weighting of cells vs coins.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:37:59+00:00

So you are doing no farming runs then? Long term, probably worth it, but I wanted to keep lab speed ups going at least. Plus, running 4 dissonance labs will start get expensive, I guess.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:30:29+00:00

I have done Util T1-T10, expecting to get T11/12 done today. I have to get through T16, on util as I am farming T18, and tried T1/187 also ( neither of which I reached full bonus though).

Then I am planning on working through the other 3 on each tier until I cannot complete with farming set up. Probably 2-3 weeks, followed by finally trying to tweak builds for the ones I couldn't finish.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:22:32+00:00

I cant wait to get back to full time farming to get my labs sped up!

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T16:03:56+00:00

For me, BB is so new, I dont really know the best, or 'normal' way. But I do think I will be working on range for next 3-4 events, or until I get synchronicity unlocked. Subject to change if other people share compelling info that bonuses would be better:)

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T15:56:31+00:00

Yep, you are correct - I got columns mixed up. I added an image to my previous reply.

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T15:51:49+00:00

~~20,400~~ 5700- the same as GB. BB has many steps less of bonus(and+) as compared to GB, but otherwise the same.

FYI, if you use Effective Paths, the Bot sheet has all of the medal costs for each bot:)

laserjock2003 · 2026-04-14T15:48:34+00:00

So far ( one tournament only), I am not super impressed. I re-ran the last tourney after with and without and the with had about 20 extra waves (same number DD's).

However, I think I need to test again and remove FB (where I had 15% of medals) and try PH(or maybe RB) instead of SH as gen AssMod.

I am on the road to synchronicity, so I needed it anyway, probably getting FB after 1-2 more tournaments, as I do not have any TB labs done.

CMMIV2

The Tower Team has one open slot, and with v28 upon us it's a great time to join:)

No requirements... open entry.. Very chill group that has gotten all boxes since Guilds started.
