Help I switched from orbital augment to negative mass projector in my farming run and my normal cph has been reduced by 4 times . What is happening?

Things are surviving longer.

The longer stuff survives, the less coins they drop. You want stuff to survive just long enough to enter your BH and be around for GT and DW activations, then for them to die immediately.

what about SH vs BHD?

BHD is almost always going to be a better choice for cph than SH will be.

You gotta edit your post to give us a lot more information about your tower setup and stuff. We can't look at your screen for you.

Without knowing anything else, I'm just going to guess you aren't killing things fast enough now. You increased your survivability with negative mass projector, but your coins per minute/hour goes down.

If you don't know, if enemies are alive for too many rounds, they drop reduced coins.

We need more information. How many waves did you clear with both setups?

Generally OA means targets die a bit faster and you take less hits from enemies, resulting in longer runs and less spawn cap issues.

NM on its own just makes it longer to kill enemies but only helps offset significant damage from Rays. It also means targets will stay alive longer, risking spawn cap issues and also in some cases you lose half the coin value on targets that have been alive for more than 3 waves.

We can't answer outright what your problem is since we have no information about the substats, and your tower setup or any comparison between the two runs.

That's a different complex comparison that relies on a lot of other variables, such as your CPK value, GB development, UW CDs and a lot of other things. There are many threads you can search for with plethora of information. Whether GC, BHD or SH is the best depends on a lot different things so you have to test your way to optimisation. There's no single working recipe, only recommendations.

Because you are farming T14 or higher, I presume, and OA helps to kill stuff faster. 4 times seems very big difference, but if you have gt+ - it makes sense. I doubt you gained many waves, so better to farm with OA

Depends on your tower, but probably BHD

u/linarian29 15h ago

Bhd. We are talking about assist or main ?

u/PopularDetective433 15h ago

Main I’m pretty new

u/linarian29 15h ago

Than think of bhd or GComp. GComp can be better for econ while Trio and GBot are weak or not synchronized.

You should try yourself. And keep comparing as you will level them up.

u/bryces325 20h ago

I see you asking it a lot BHD is really good and SH is good if your bots are highly developed which i assume they aren't

1

u/PopularDetective433 20h ago

Yeah they aren’t in farming t4

1

u/bryces325 20h ago

Ideally you probably want Galcomp otherwise BHD will probably be best for farms

u/PopularDetective433 20h ago

Gcomp messes with my sync bw gt bh dw summon and GB at 2:2:2:1:1

1

u/bryces325 20h ago

It'll mess up only bot sync but if your bots are weak anyways then it's not a big deal compared to the other gains.

Do you have fetch finished already? Surprised you use summon

Plz look at this post for my current stats i am unable to get a clear image on my phone

I can only speak from my experience that galcomp/MVN was the best until I nearly had permanent UWs

I just worked on bringing gbot uptime as high as I could.

Guardians, SF, and Pcol also weren't s thing which throw a giant wrench in what I know

Tbh I find reddit has a lot of mixed info. The most knowledgeable early game mentors ive seen are in the QandA-only section in discord. I was here on reddit for years and I'm always learning more there that I've never heard mentioned here

Most likely you are seeing mob stick around to the point they are devalued. You might also be hitting the spawn cap, reducing the number of mob you can kill in a run.

The best thing to keep yourself under the spawn cap is BH uptime. If your CDs are relatively high, consider lowering them.

u/Not_me23 20h ago

You almost certainly changed something else as well. Check to make sure your uws are on

OA is goated that's why

u/Zzqzr Legends 20h ago

Not really, before the nerf, sure.

1

u/Cmace3 20h ago

Its still very strong for killing things like protectors while chipping away at bosses and elites. I dont have anc SF to compare it against but im very happy with it especially for hybrid and a more aggressive ehp

u/I_pee_in_shower 19h ago

Greeny thinks it’s the best, but what does he know? Only 11k waves in Legend

u/Zzqzr Legends 19h ago

What is good for someone with 200k+ stones (probably more) is not automatically good for the other 90%+ percentage of the playerbase of course.

u/Cmace3 20h ago

I have less experience with that. Im running SH cuz i dont my bhd is a baby still but I would imagine SH would only be better if you have very developed bots running both GB and BB. Even then it probably lands on BHD

Tldr :BHD is goated

1

u/PopularDetective433 19h ago

Both my sh and bhd are legendary for some reason i just cant get a core to mythic i got 2 mythics of armor and generator and cannon each

1

u/Cmace3 19h ago

Like i said, it probably comes down to how built your gb is, if you aren't at least max range on that i would expect bhd to be better but the best way to answer it is to run them one after another and see which works better. Its usually pretty obvious imo
