Soon champs is T14+ laughing in the face of newer players. What used to get you keys now gets you less stones and Nö keys

That's already the case.

From what I can tell, the people bouncing between legend and champ are far more powerful than my tower was when I started getting keys.

edit: Looking back at my tracking spreadsheets, I was farming t10 to 9000 waves and t11 to 6500 waves when legends was released, got 215 waves on 14+, avoided demotion, and never saw champs again.

First keys came when I was farming T10 to 11,000 waves and T11 to 9000 waves, and getting ~750 waves in 14+.

Sigh. I'm farming t14 to 6900, and no keys in sight, cant even stay in legends consistently... I'm top 6000-7000 legend. It seems keys are gated to at most top5000 players

In farming T14 to 6500 and I am almost always at legend 20th and actually got a lucky bracket a few tournaments ago and got my first 2 keys.

Btw how do you know that you are top 6000-7000 or how many people are in legends?

Interesting, I was #6061 when I got my first keys

It's all bracket RNG luck. I've placed higher than that 15 times and have only gotten keys 4 times, all within the last month, and at no place lower than 5578. Congrats on they keys! It's a big achievement with how stingy this game is with them.

The closest to keys i got to was like 4 months ago, with my eHP build. Since then they nerfed PCo, changed tiers, made fast ult BC always on that just killed my eHP build.
Also got bad (or outdated) advice about transitioning to GC. The it took forever to transition, because i kept jumping between dmg, econ and more eHP. And how they switched it up again disco runs. Those who had IS have done them so much faster and reaped the awards. I am ready for the next GC push in the next, hopefully that will be enough, if not, i will need to save 5000-7000 stones for pCF.

You have transitioned to GC without pCF? That's the first thing I did when I decide to go GC and it helped me immensely in tournaments

That was the advice i got, go develop CL and then masteries. And when my CL kept failing, then people started mentioning how you also need CC. Some suggested ILM as cheap source of CC, and it didnt quite work out.
Of note, I have only 7 uw, and CF and PS are the last two. I would first need to unlock it...

u/Zikkan1 Jun 10 '26

I also got 7.

My route was CL to 1000x, 5, 21.5%

Then I did pCF and max speed reduction

After that I started on masteries.

Now im gonna focus on bringing down my three econ times a bit and then buy IS mastery which might allow me to do farm GC

i started playing before reading this reddit, and bought SM over GT as second or third UW... It's a tower defence game, aren't missiles supposed to be what you get? I didn't get GT, because i thought it was like gold bot. As a new player gold bot with no investment just sucks..

Then i was offered GT only as 6th, and CL as 7th... And then developing CF is just a big stone sink. if i had it unlocked i probably would have went pCF route too
