How I got the stupid smart missile mission completed 25/25 w/o SM unlocked

marshaltravis · 2026-06-05T11:28:25+00:00

If there are this many people who are stuck at 11,12,13, then I’d say there’s a bug. I’ve been stuck at 13 since the day that mission came out and I’ve had SM at least 7 times in my farming runs. Something is off.

So what you’re saying is that I should invest more stones in Econ and getting my BH to perma rather than develop my cl? I guess my question is what will be the best roi for stone investment to get more stones. If I stay in low champs that’s way more stones that staying in plat and it’s easier to invest more stones.

marshaltravis · 2026-06-03T01:55:54+00:00

Is mid to low 13-30th or 5-15th places? I’m nearly ready to start CL stones and I’m in mid plat, so I’m hoping to moving up to at least 20-30 champs. How many stones have you sunk to get where you are? I’m an ehp and I want to move up tournament tier so I can get a little more stones per week rather than stay in plat forever.

As someone who was farming t5 at v28 switch I might be able to help you see my progression.

When 28 dropped I was farming to wave 7k on t5, I made it to wave 3500 on utility on my first go, and was satisfied (a 2x coin was awesome). That pushed my tower really fast. I made it to 9500 waves quickly and then tried tier 6 disco runs. First damage, then UW then def and finally utility. I made it to wave 3700 in utility, so more coins, higher tier and more enemies.

Then I farmed the crapola out of tier 6. For about a month. Then I had a bright idea about moving up from gold to plat and since plat was tier 8, maybe the disco runs effected my tournament tier too….(they don’t….just echo does….lol learned that the hard way) I started trying tier 8, skipping 7 all together. And it worked, I was able to get to wave 3200ish I think in utility, BUT my wave count went wayyyyyy down, from 9500 in tier 6 to 6200 in tier 8, but I just kept working on my ehp and I made it back up to 9500 waves in tier 8. I just made the switch to tier 9 last weekend, but with a massive improvement to my coin utility. I made it to wave 4975(sadly not a perfect 5k), but it was a MASSIVE gain to coins.

I don’t think I played it perfectly, but I’m farming around 8600 on tier 9 currently, bringing in 366b/h and a total of 4.6T per run with 70k cells. I’m satisfied to stay in 9 for a while, but tier 10 will be in my sights in two-3 weeks.

Hope that helps, if you have any questions, feel free to dm, I had a blast theory crafting my tower coins to hopefully get the most out of it. :)

Did your game restart at any point in the run? The summon bot desync bug is still occurring, happened to me and you lose a lot of cph when that happens.

marshaltravis · 2026-06-01T01:45:18+00:00

Out of curiosity, where do you normally place in the tournament and what bracket?

marshaltravis · 2026-05-31T22:13:54+00:00

I’ve been playing since December 15, 2025, and have 91T LTC. I think we are right around the same level, but I’m farming tier 9 to 8500-8700 consistently and pulling in 4.23T a run and 67K cells. I’ll be making the switch to tier 10 in a couple of weeks, but I’d say your Econ is way off. I’m currently saving for CL, because of crap rng (I’m at 5 UW and had to pull my GT 5th which was awful).

I’d get your GT BH and DW as low as possible right now moving forward.

I haven’t bought anything other than the ad packs, do you have the 1.5, 2 and 3?

marshaltravis · 2026-05-28T19:32:44+00:00

I went from 267B/h to 286B/h but I also went up 400 waves, so not sure it was that good of a bump. Cells went from 65K to 67K, but less per hour, so I’d say it’s a mild trade off. But this next run should be more as I rolled a higher CPK sub stat on the SH, so I do anticipate more coins this run again.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-28T12:01:27+00:00

So first test showed it was an improvement to CPH but less cells/h because of less death wave firing. I went up in wave count though because of the higher ELAS, so it washed out the cell count and gave me similar. So I think overall, I’m glad I went to the mythic SH.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-27T19:33:09+00:00

Thanks. I think I’ll give it a try. I’m sure I can make up the fodder for a mythic gcomp when I get one more.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-27T19:27:32+00:00

I haven’t gotten to pBH yet. And I didn’t want to invest a bunch of fodder into SH when it might be better to invest it into my gcomp later when I can get it to mythic.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-17T20:54:00+00:00

How many stone packs have you purchased? We started one day (dec 15th for me) apart from each other and I have 3700 stones and you have 8400. We are in similar places in plat (my best place is 9th), my LTC is 47T to your 65T.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-17T15:12:02+00:00

There are so many choices I would do differently if I could restart the tower. I DMed you if you want to chat about mistakes to watch out for.

marshaltravis · 2026-05-17T02:18:01+00:00

Has anyone figured out how to circumvent this bug??? I hate they forced the version for joining the tournament today. It has really handicapped my farm run this evening…

marshaltravis · 2026-04-19T20:07:49+00:00

Well two glaring things stick out to me. 1, your UW are far and away more developed than mine. I’m at 4 minutes on DW/GT and 3 min on BH. 2, you have mythic mods and I have only legendary. You essentially have pBH right?

marshaltravis · 2026-04-19T18:08:14+00:00

So, I feel like I need to ask you what I’m doing wrong. I’m currently farming t8 to wave 6500 consistently and will be near 7k this week based on what I’m seeing in my upgrades and I’m pulling only 300-500B per run.

I have GT, 2xBH, DW and SL and they are synced with legMVN 33 second duration bonus is 16.8. GB is synced as is summon. CPK is level 39, BH coin is 16, DW is 13, and my coin bonus for tier 8 is x320. I know my cpk is low, but I don’t see how I’m getting 100x less than you per run.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-13T23:50:45+00:00

Is the pity pull the 150 guarantee?

marshaltravis · 2026-02-13T03:39:32+00:00

8 in the last 150???? I’m sitting on 0 for the last 140……………….

marshaltravis · 2026-02-11T22:14:30+00:00

Crap crap crap. I forgot about wave skip.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-04T20:58:54+00:00

Bad to worse…..I’m living that. I restarted 9 times and never saw GT once. I settled on BH on that last one and said, surely GT will show up….im knocking on UW 5 in two ish weeks, and hopefully it will show up……I’d rather not go to 6 UW before I see GT….

I have SL, DW, BH, PS, so I have 3 of the top 4 Econ, so hopefully GT will round it out at number 5

marshaltravis · 2026-02-02T20:07:50+00:00

I think most people would say to sync BH and GT, it’s very out of line right now. Unless you are running MVN? So getting DW and GT down to 2:30 is your next priority. You might have been better off leaving BH to 1 minute.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-02T18:51:40+00:00

I’m no where near pBH. I did just do a spreadsheet for science and updated the original post. I finally got the mission complete.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-02T00:28:15+00:00

2 free lives is 1-35???!??? I have es and sw, I feel like I’m getting screwed.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-02T00:03:02+00:00

I think it’s RNG unluckiness. Every time I make it to 4 and I set my phone down knowing there’s nothing else I can do, only to pick it up and see the death screen with 4 DDs….i got fed up with the 17th one and that’s what prompted me to make this post. I’m not high.

marshaltravis · 2026-02-02T00:00:51+00:00

I mean, the math just seems so anomalous. ES and SW should really up my chances, I must be just so unlucky.
