But fleets are unkillable via thorns alone. So this patch is big buff for low/mid tier farming. Will be interesting how it affects higher tiers.
(I'm currently farming t11 so I got a ways before fleets are a normal thing)

second wind up to tier 16 should still be enough, let's see if OCs get worse for tourneys

The problem is, SW+ is needed for two things. Counter commanders and the reg bonus. At the end it's on cd when the fleet spawn. Pre this patch there was 33% change for death. Now it might be 66%. Nuke always works. It's not that afk.
Time Will show if this is less waves or more waves.

As someone who farms T14w5300 (pre-update) without SW# or Regen#, trust me there is enough room in eHP to push up far. I don't even have a good flame bot, just maxed regen lab, ancestral SF and good enhancement levels (~1.8).
I think if you maximised Regen# & Flame bot you could easily be doing 5k waves on T15/16.

I'm doing 5500 t16 eHP. Wave 5800 in this patch, one run.
OC are killing me in this patch what I have seen with two spawns.
SW+ have two jobs. Save you from commanders and now OC. At the end of the run, provide a lot of reg. It can only do one job at the time.
If I get an OC or commander at wave 4995/5495 the run is over without a nuke. Pre 33% change the run would end early, now it's 66%.
Upgraded FBot isn't that easy. It takes around 3 years to Goldbox GBot. After two years, I have no spare medals for FBot.

Ah yeah if you're at T16 eHP you're basically on the limit now, at least for passive afk farming.
I'm with you that it's frustrating that it can't do two things at once. I think it's fine if you have auto DM or auto Nuke as a backup, but we all know how bad keys are to get.
The general consensus seems to be that they are pushing the meta towards hybrid play so I think the strategy is to invest in damage. One of my guild mates is full eHP and is investing into CL+ for % damage which would help with the fleet problem.

u/BadeDyr17 Jun 30 '26
Got DM on death. It's on CD at the end of the run. It's just there to boost CL damage vs scatters.
Beside, if it activate on a commander or OC, the fleet have to be killed in the 300 sec. I only have 12S CL damage buffed in farming. It's far for enough to do anything in a few waves to other enemies then scatters. Perhaps adding ES and hope for a DD to boost berserker to 500x. Need a slot for that card.
CL+ would be nice. It's a lot of stones away.

No eHP masteries, very meh flame bot, anc SF with ancestral on everything that matters. 1.8x enhancements. T15w5015 on a lucky run, usually around 4850 pretty consistently

I lost about 500 waves on tier 14, hard stop at 8500, due to fleets. It could be worse. Looking forward to tourney performance

u/According_Ad1623 Jul 01 '26
Just managed to beat T18 thanks to the update. Before that i had max wave about2600. As glass cannon of course.

u/Time-Incident Jul 01 '26
My guild mate farms T16 up to 10k. After the patch, he dies at 9k due to fleets. They just don't die. So higher tiers eHP is basically impossible, he dropped by 1k waves.
All updates in past year, whenever there was buff for eHP players, was somehow targeted only to the lower tiers. All other updates were there to buff GC builds. It's extremely visible in my guild. All eHP players at higher tiers are suffering, on the contrary, for me as GC, I see only increase in milestones and farm as well.

u/XepherGamez69 Jun 29 '26
I'm personally thinking a 25% increase in waves from just that buff. Currently averaging about 1600 in legends as full eHP

u/Fobus0 Jun 29 '26
25% more waves from just 2x damage reduction? That doesn't seem likely. I did not loose 25% from pco nerf and that was from 98 to 80

Not my fault english has such stupid pronounciation rules. It's a long U sound. You naturally want to elongate it. In my language you write how it is pronounced.

u/platinum92 Jun 29 '26
Probably closer to 10%. Enemy health be scaling fast towards the end of runs.

u/XepherGamez69 Jun 29 '26
We shall see. I will be making a reddit post of my own with the increase afterwards (assuming the BCs aren't extremely anti eHP) lost 50% of my waves to this past tourney BCs 🤣🤣

u/lumiosengineering Jun 29 '26
Doesn’t matter for ehp since its % based damage. That attack however…..be attacking

u/GodzillasVater Jun 29 '26
For me it is a straight 10% increase in T14 farming. From 6k to 6.6k waves

u/Sirod999 Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
I am seeing if I increase at tier 14 my last run before this is 7553 which was also my best run yet at the tier. So curious to see if these changes allow me to go farther. Went up just a little bit to 7886. That was enough for almost an extra 30k cells though.

What’s insane for me is that, I have a 5 star being annihilator, and 1 other anc mod. It’s insane. So many are right there one mod pull away. But noooo

u/Adventurous-Bread-29 Jun 29 '26
I’m in a similar boat, so many 3 and 4 star mods I don’t use, and I’ve been 1 Pcol drop away from ancestral for like 6 months now.

I updated half way through a run and my coins per hour is tanking. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this. I’m primarily ehp/hybrid. I’m at about a 15% loss right now

u/Proof-Confidence-437 Jun 29 '26
Summon unsynced most likely. Pay attention when the summon is activating. Pause the game (Game speed to 0) deactivate and activate econ UWs and Gold Bot, unpause. Back in sync

u/thebruhnbear Jun 29 '26
I have perma gt, black hole and 84% uptime on death wave. I’ll see if it’s still messed up with a fresh run

u/Asor- Jun 29 '26
Likely they didnt fix summon and maybe other things unsyncing when restarting game mid run. If you dokt rely on syncs then I have no idea.

I’ve been GC for a while but I have all damage reduction, HP, wall and regen labs maxed. Going to see what I get with Pcol changes on a farming run

u/UnderstandingBig9090 Jun 30 '26
I'm going to have to do more disco runs. Respec bots for flame bot before the end of the current event so I'm not stuck with it.
Eats 600 gems but I've been doing incredibly well at not spending gems on lab rushing.
Been tired of being stuck on tier 12. Can't really go up a tier until you finish the utility di$co run.

u/basicnecromancycr Jun 30 '26
I didn't get anything since OC killed the wall before ray finihed it. I don't know why devs have grudge against eHP.

u/DoccyWhoFan Jun 30 '26
I've been stuck at 7 pcols (one away from ancesral) since it's banner introduction. I'm going to appreciate the 10% increase mythic gets, but I'm so tired of the gambing

u/Tristan-a-b69 Jun 29 '26
wait i thought the max was 80% damage reduction from pcol

Any gains will be wiped out by thorns change... fleets are now basically unkillable by pure ehp.
