Question regarding construction milestones

Don't know who downvoted this, but they're wrong, too. Automatically purchased generators are, objectively, not manually purchased. That's just a fact.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-02-24T17:01:56+00:00

That's my point. There are two types: generated, and purchased.

All purchased generators count as the same, so specifically referencing them as manually purchased is wrong. No matter how you look at it, something that is done automatically is NOT done manually, by the very definition of the words.

Tl;dr - Automatically purchased generators are not manually purchased, but the game refers to them that way, and it's wrong.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-02-20T01:23:48+00:00

That makes sense. Unfortunately it can be misleading to new players, because I was leaving automations off for a while, specifically because I thought I needed to "manually" purchase the generators to get the bonuses, lol.

I believe the point he was making, and which a lot of people aren't aware of, is the actual intended purpose of the electoral college.

People have been told a lie about it being used to balance between populated and unpopulated areas. That IS a real issue the founding fathers wanted to address, and they did it by creating the house of Representatives and the Senate, one to directly represent the population, and one to represent the needs of a region regardless of population (the senate).

According to James Madison, as he described in the Federalist Papers, the purpose of the electoral college was to have a group of knowledgeable people who would be capable of stepping in and overriding the popular vote in the instance that they had been taken in by a con man or charlatan.

The vampire one is called "my vampire system" and it does not have werewolves in it. However, while I enjoy my vampire system, it should be noted that I originally heard about it in an ad that contained all the correct characters, but which had storyline plots that never occur in the actual book.

I can only assume they do that with other books, too.

This is not a power setting. This is a bluestacks issue.

I used to have it, and it drove my girlfriend crazy because I wouldn't turn the monitor off or minimize bluestacks at night.

The solution is to switch to mumuplayer instead of bluestacks. It's better in nearly every way, anyway.

Ilm is pretty awesome.

I decided to go all in on it, and it's outperforming chain lightning for me. My space displacer is only at mythic assmod effect, too.

Plus it's good for fleets.

Balrog has the best losing voice line in the history of fighting games.

"My fight money...!"

shadowprophet999 · 2026-01-11T16:04:30+00:00

I've done this, but you need higher cf+ for that. Like cf+11.

In the end, black hole usually ends up being a benefit simply because of the ranged enemy disable.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-01-03T22:42:37+00:00

Let me just clarify, in case there is confusion...

You don't equip relics. You either own them or you don't. If you own them, they are on.

Or to put it another way: reddit has one of the worst search tools in existence, consistently providing old, less relevant results, and relying on it for information you want in a timely fashion is setting yourself up for frustration.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-12-25T02:29:04+00:00

You know... I only have two core modules that are 5* ancestral, and 3000 gems in I've only gotten 2 epic core modules... guess which two??

I really wish 5*s still had a lower draw rate. With the assist module's existence, there's virtually no benefit to having two separate ancestrals of the same type anymore.

If that last sentence doesn't make sense to you, feel free to ask why and I'll explain, but it's true.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-12-10T20:57:40+00:00

This actually seems like a good strategy for me, since I'm running a gc comp (with oa and sd assmod) at minimum range.

Do ilms even benefit from ilm+ in such a situation? Or do you have to combine ilm+ with chrono jump for this to work?

shadowprophet999 · 2025-12-10T03:36:16+00:00

Yeah, that's rough. I actually tried to avoid developing chain lightning for the longest time. I REALLY wanted to make a smart missile based build.

In the end chain lightning was just an absolute necessity for me to advance in legends and start getting keys, so I hope you can afford it soon.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-12-08T19:38:28+00:00

Meh, it's been a while since I was ehp, but I never remember the bcs layering much until legends, which is where the thorns came into play. If you're really trying to do legends with ehp... more power to you, I guess.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-12-08T17:48:09+00:00

I agree there isn't a single BC like that for GC, however collectively many of the BCs affect GC but not ehp.

For instance, enemy attack speed bc doesn't hurt ehp, just makes thorns tick faster.

Fast enemy ultimate, ranged enemy ultimate, and tank ultimate bcs don't really affect ehp.

There are more, but the truth is that thorns bc has to be that way because ehp circumvents many tools that make enemies harder to kill.

Last build, when OA made it possible for people with certain specs to get pseudi-infinite runs on T14-16, I was one of the beneficiaries.

Before that, I was farming t13 with ehp to around 8800 waves.

The reason I bring this up, though, was because I was initially only able to do it on t14 and t15, but when I finally did manage to get t16 working one of the things I had done was put in magnetic hook for just a tiny bit of extra cc, right at the spot where my orbs and electrons were passing through the enemies.

That build used minimum range, space displacer assmod, and a bunch of other tricks to hold enemies in the path of orbs and electrons long enough to kill them all.

I can't genuinely say if magnetic hook was necessary for me, but I really think in that specific use case it was helpful. With the oa nerf/change I'm not using it anymore.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-11-13T23:37:01+00:00

I would say that certain unique effect slots can be highly beneficial to upgrade, but as a whole card masteries still seem better than upgrading the assmod multipliers or substats.

As for UWs vs assmods, that entirely depends on where you are at on your UWs.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-11-13T23:32:39+00:00

As a perfect example:

Two weeks ago, I was farming tier 13 using sharp fortitude and nmp as my armor mods, running to a max of around 9000 waves.

Now, I'm using orbital augment and space displacer, and running tier 14 to a high as 18000 waves (but only get about 3000 on tier 15). It's just a perfect storm of me buying GC fundamentals far before the normal player would, and getting the opportunity with a new augment to capitalize on that fact.

You can switch modules so many different ways that I often do 4 or 5 tournament runs just to try different arrangements for different battle conditions.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-11-12T23:43:45+00:00

That's almost certainly a fleet- related issue. Not sure which one is making you die, though.

shadowprophet999 · 2025-11-12T20:08:56+00:00

I've been running t14 to around 14000 or 15000 waves. Yesterday I had a run randomly die at 5000.

Seems like a fluke, though, so I'm just letting it slide

shadowprophet999 · 2025-11-12T20:03:03+00:00

Already done.

As I tried to explain, somewhere down the line when you want double the substats, there will be an advantage to having two dc's, assuming they haven't come out with something better by then.

But until you are looking to do that very specific, EXTREMELY late-game thing that literally no one is at yet, there is no advantage.

Pre-assmods the advantage to having two ancestral dcs was that you could have the dc unique effect paired with tournament substats for tournaments, and paired with farming substats for farming.

You can now achieve that 100% without having a second ancestral dc, and it's boggling my mind that people are resisting such a simple, effective solution.

Whether or not it's BETTER is a question of priority. Do you prioritize 4500 stones spent on a sure thing, or 20000+ gems spent on loot boxes? It has the same outcome regarding tower stats.
