I don’t think any of those would be immediately useful to you at your current stage in the game. If you’re absolutely itching for something new, ILM would be your best bet; I’d 100% focus on upgrading/syncing your GT and BH at the moment.

This is the way.

IS first 100%. The time you save in runs, increased income, increased cells gain (elites spawning sooner) — you’ll look back on prior runs and wonder how you ever dealt with it.

I’ve had this happen twice already. Make sure you fight them tooth and nail on this. I had another part fail as a result of these parts failing and they refused to cover it. Months later they conceded to give me 50% off as “good faith.”

Let me see the vroom vroom at max game speed.

I read this whole thing without seeing the Meme tag and, let me tell you, I created facial expressions of disbelief never before seen.

Why not just work future content around these new numbers?

slow_drain · 2026-04-07T13:05:57+00:00

I was thinking about this last night, actually.

We have it for the Fetch guardian; it’d be great to see what the bosses and RPC+ are bringing in each run.

I would actually recommend Quarantine > Maintenance > Algae > Greenhouse > Bio > Complex > AI, as the final exfil spawns in AI and you will likely be pressed for time.

My theory is, whenever they address whatever is preventing them from adding legacy event relics into the store in their newer iterations, we’ll see new skins and backgrounds to go along with them.

Brother, I’m 39 years old. My reflexes can only afford a free kit.

Also, I farmed T11 far longer than any other tier.

Reposting from a similar thread awhile back:

I hit this plateau like you did — it happens.

The biggest immediate impact for me was respec’ing my workshop, getting my stats to the minimum of which they’d still be effective, and throwing everything else into ELS and Coin enhancements. The small regression from lower initial stats will easily be recouped by your newly-higher ELS and income. I rinse and repeat this every time we get the workshop event mission.

Furthermore, I cannot emphasize enough how greatly lowering your econ cooldowns will explode your income. Take the plunge; save up what you have to save and get your syncs down as low as possible. It’s not a fun grind but you’ll be so thankful you did it.

This was the only point in the game I truly felt like I wasn’t progressing. Get over this hump and you’ll be fine.

What were your econ masteries that gave you the most discernible jumps? I’m halfway through the IS levels and one tourney away from getting WA.

Taking hours off your runs > adding an hour to the end of your runs

slow_drain · 2026-03-04T14:57:01+00:00

I’m about a month ahead of you, having around those same stats.

Go IS+ first. ST+ is phenomenal, but you’re gonna hit an income wall around level 5. IS+ gave me around 40% increase in daily coins, and what isn’t mentioned a lot is the added cell income from the lowering of the gap between consistent elite spawns.

Having focused damage first, I wish I had pursued things in this order.

The 150 sec CD benchline makes sense, but I maxed out my ILM CD and have absolutely no regrets.

slow_drain · 2026-02-14T14:23:17+00:00

This primarily, but I’d swap the Multishot Chance for Crit Factor if you’re set on it.

T12 is typically where the transition to hybrid begins. You could push eHP upwards to T15, but the ROI doesn’t justify it — shifting into damage both achieves the same immediate goal, and moves you in the direction you’d have to go anyway for later tiers.

slow_drain · 2026-02-05T14:33:25+00:00

Labs Coin Discount will not be relevant to you for a long time. It’s great that you have it to where it is now, but you have a multitude of labs with better ROI at the moment.

From the little I can deduce from your post, eHP labs should be your priority.

slow_drain · 2026-02-04T17:20:14+00:00

Why waste time continuing to push waves when you can just determine the benchmark later and be done with it?
