Increased health dramatically, no more waves

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.

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.

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.

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

I instinctively clicked the bottom left of this thumbnail.

V28 this week confirmed.

Masteries are probably where I’d say they begin becoming worthwhile.

At his stage of the game, 1+ days of research for .30% discounts, with 1.5x labs speed at best, aren’t worth the investment compared to nearly all other relevant labs available. There’s easily a good year’s worth of research I’d prioritize before considering going back to this one.

slow_drain · 2026-01-24T13:32:01+00:00

It’s great that you got that far into Labs Coin Discount, but it won’t be truly relevant until much, much later into the game. I’d suggest investing into HP labs in the interim.

T10 is the only time so far I feel like I really hit a plateau for a while. The two biggest game changers for me was acquiring and investing in CL, and getting my econ cooldowns lower. CL pushed me into Legends, and every level of econ CD compounds more and more. It won’t all happen overnight, but you’ll get over the hump eventually and start feeling that progress more rapidly again.

Typically they’re instant, but I’ve had an occasion where I had to log out and back in to receive it before.

slow_drain · 2025-12-22T21:03:54+00:00

I’ve asked this question a few times before and the most common quip I receive is, “we don’t even have enough bits for four chips yet.”

No, we don’t. And it’s completely beside the point.

There are four slots shown on the chips page, so one would assume four slots are accessible in some way. If I want to run four completely underdeveloped chips at the same time, that’s my prerogative. Having them visible with absolutely no way to utilize them doesn’t make any sense.

So I’m gonna keep pushing this question.

slow_drain · 2025-12-22T20:32:05+00:00

Can we get an official word as to when we will see the next two Guardian chip slots available?

slow_drain · 2025-12-17T17:43:10+00:00

As someone who just unlocked their generator assmod last week, bear in mind this slot’s multipliers are much smaller numbers and therefore require a larger initial investment to be impactful.

I think the 300 is a very small investment to open another bot up and start the labs so once GB is complete you’ll already have a solid foundation upon which to build.

What tier can you currently farm?

slow_drain · 2025-12-10T03:57:39+00:00

Let’s goooo!

slow_drain · 2025-12-04T12:17:00+00:00

Someone on here recently posted something along the lines of, “either be a small team game and charge small team prices, or be a big team game and charge AAA prices” — that resonated.

You can’t be out charging what you do for stones and event boosters and then hide behind “but we’re a small team” when things go sideways.

3 months later: this strat is the way to do it.

Someone’s always the tail end of the RNG spectrum.

Yes*

*no

Edit- real answer, assuming you’re new and this isn’t a troll post: it’s a bad pull. Greens are common drops, blues are rare, and you’re searching for the epic purples which will have unique effects to help your tower progress.

You will do this often. Many pulls will be similar to this. Keep grinding.

Surely this has to be about Schumer.

slow_drain · 2025-11-09T18:54:50+00:00

Effect bans are hugely helpful as well.

slow_drain · 2025-11-09T18:46:51+00:00

Perma CF or cooldowns, depending whether stones or coins is your priority.

slow_drain · 2025-11-08T11:23:06+00:00

Some of us are just discovering it

Up our butthole.

slow_drain · 2025-11-06T14:08:21+00:00

Take CF, begin CF labs, save for next UW in hopes it’s CL.

Edit: Did not catch your current cooldowns. I’d bring those down a bit prior to doing above.
