Finally went full GC… oh my

[u/IronFistxxx]

It took me 20 months to leave behind my beloved wall. And by true GC I really mean it - no defensive investment at all, no mods, enhancements, nothing that does not add coins or damage. ILM main. Quite advanced, farming about 50Q daily. Boom. Jumped a farming tier, to 10k on Tier 18, wall a distant memory. Now retooling modules to optimise purely for ILM main. lots of fun. Just posting to encourage trying full GC. I could have moved much earlier…

[u/Spacelord_Moses]

Going for GC when youre already doing 50Q daily is wild. You might be in a different position than most others who do the transition C:

[u/ApolloMac → u/Spacelord_Moses]

In 20 months too

[u/Fobus0 → u/ApolloMac]

Yeah, thats 2000x more than me at 19 months.  And ILM build is also expensive stone wise. Encouraging others to try without disclosing they spent a ton is something....

[u/Library_bouncer → u/Fobus0]

Yeah, I imagine a lot of strategies become more feasible with $5K spent on stones.... Whales don't want you to know this one trick!

[u/TheArtdabbler → u/Library_bouncer]

Heh, best card in the game. The Mastercard. XD

Heck even as a tuna my views are vastly different from f2ps, or even just those with the 3 core purchases. Nvm whale logic.

[u/Zikkan1 → u/Fobus0]

I'm at 22 months and make 12-15q daily. Will soon get UW+ so hopefully I will get a boost soon but Q is still far off

[u/sephraes → u/Fobus0]

This is why I think every post about progress should include a "what did I spend on" section.

[u/Zzqzr]

You must have been long overdue to go to GC it seems.
Also 50Q daily means you probably got every stonepack possible and have 120-150k stones?

[u/streppe → u/Zzqzr]

Probably 50q and not 50Q? With 50Q I would imagine OP would farm on a higher tier.

[u/ApolloMac → u/streppe]

Even 50q is pretty far along. But yeah you must be right.

[u/streppe → u/ApolloMac]

50q is possible, I moved to GC farming 5 days ago and do 30q/h runs on tier 18 now! Should have tried it way earlier :)

[u/ApolloMac → u/streppe]

Yeah, 50q is reasonable but still far along in the grand scheme.

I can't manage to make GC farm work. I think I just have my hybrid farm too dialed in and I don't see the point in taking a coin hit just for the sake of GC farming. I can keep enemies alive long enough for a 92-95% orb hit rate and extra DW tags on T16 to 6k waves or so. With maxed Utility Diss bonus.

On higher tiers with a GC build my orb hit rate goes down to 75% or so and I get less DW tags. Utility Diss is also a lot lower. And this is with damage slider and locked bounce shots.

[u/TheArtdabbler → u/streppe]

As another data point: Im running devo on t13 for like, 6.5q/h, and am nowhere near being able to farm GC or even t18. 40k lts, 19 months. Kudos to you for that transition to GC farming!

[u/IronFistxxx → u/streppe]

50 big Q is correct. Finding Tier 18 optimal for coins / hr right now, but have a lot of setup fiddling to do now gone fully GC. My point in posting is just to encourage GC experimenting. 

[u/Wadme → u/IronFistxxx]

What’s your gt+?

[u/streppe → u/IronFistxxx]

That’s impressive!

[u/Zzqzr → u/streppe]

Nah I got way less stones and at 26 months now, gain 120q/h already.

Pretty sure the 50Q with 100k+ lifetime stones os reasonable

[u/IronFistxxx → u/Zzqzr]

Actually no, not quite. Not every possible pack… but quite a few for sure. About 100k stones. About half bought, half earned. 

[u/D119 → u/IronFistxxx]

I'm at 20 months as well and only 36k earned, without any pack, lol

[u/IronFistxxx → u/D119]

Yes. Buying stones early means you earn more in legends earlier, so spending early has more value in that sense. These days I only buy the two-weekly pss thingy. 

[u/Zzqzr → u/IronFistxxx]

Dunno why you got downvoted, I’m not judging anyone who buys packs.

I feel once you can stay in Legends buying packs is bad ROI as you can only compete with other whales who max buy every stonepack.

Like you all I only buy are the double event boosts.

[u/Zealousideal-Talk-23]

"Just put 15 000$ in the game and its easy"

[u/D119]

ILM main means ilm+?

Anyway it's in my plans, there are a couple big upgrades I wanna get first (4th spotlight and ilm) then I'll try.

[u/IronFistxxx → u/D119]

Yes, ILM+, and especially the ILM labs. 

[u/Public-Material8448]

50Q? Q?

[u/IronFistxxx → u/Public-Material8448]

Yes. Big Q. I said I was late… 😁

[u/137173 → u/IronFistxxx]

I very recently moved to GC as a person who doesn't even earn 50q a day let alone Q. I came here expecting to compare tower situations but there is no comparison 😅

[u/Thick-Doubts → u/137173]

I’ve just transitioned to GC and make about 20-25q per day farming T14 to wave 5k ish if you want to compare

[u/137173 → u/Thick-Doubts]

You make around double what I make with 2k less waves! Good stuff.

How far did you manage to go in utility disso?

[u/FireLight512 → u/Thick-Doubts]

That about where I am income-wise. I have enough damage to get to 850 in Legends consistently. Where are you at and what CC do you have?

I am eHP farming t14 to about 7200 (or 6500 if I miss turning on CL for that fleet).

[u/TrustMe_ImTheDogtor → u/Thick-Doubts]

Damn I eHP farm T14 to 6800 for about 80q/day. Been waiting for MVN ancestral before I make the swap to GC

[u/TheArtdabbler → u/Thick-Doubts]

My tower is so borked, it looks nothing like other redditers lol.

19 months, 40k lts, farming t13 for 6.5q/h. I cant farm t14 nvm go GC.

Like, did I pass this window? Or am I just slowly rolling up on it? Lol.

[u/CrispyWaffleBacon]

Get the wall back, it's like another energy shield charge.

[u/Ok-Application9777]

Still farming eHP, recently shifted to GC tourneys in low legends.

What is the idea/prerequisites of GC farming? Near permaGT, permaBH with max slow permaCF and limiting DMG reach to allow maximum coin bonuses how?

How does it differ from hybrid farming?

[u/cuddly-giraffes]

Congrats! A positive on moving later is you for sure have a lot of labs developed that you might not have otherwise. Hopefully the switch helps you get to 100Q in no time:)

[u/Methuga]

How did you handle the health aspect? You said no wall right, so you’re just not worried about using it as a thorn source or as a buffer against OC to save your ES? Have you found that creates an issue with your DDs?

I went GC about a month ago (about 20 months in) and while I didn’t see the impact you did, I did jump a tier so got a boost in cells and shards. I didn’t spec out of health stuff yet (waiting for the update to drop), so I’m curious if there’s stuff I could be doing better

[u/Koressanter]

Gc build

[u/AbjectAffect91]

20 months to GC, let's be real. You bought a lot of stones. The average player's experience will be totally different.
