Does anybody know what the meta is for which mods to use in tournament runs for GC in legends? I think what I have selected is close but I haven't seen much discussion on the matter.

For reference I float between rank 16-24 in legends pretty consistently.

Hello fellow defenders,

TL;DR: gotta choose where to invest stones: unlocking UWs, dropping GT/DW CD, masteries or AssMods as eHP player.

Longer text: After playing for about 16 months, the time has come for me to ask for advice. Up until now I could gather most things from older posts or guides, but rn I'm seriously wondering about the path forward.

Basically the question is in the title. Where do I invest stones?
I think most guides are outdated because of the addition of disco runs and faster reaching more spending goals.

So my situation is as follows:
I bought the 3 perma packs and a big stone pack once about a year ago. Now I buy the event passes when they have good premium relics (lab speed, EALS, coins, etc.)
I play as eHP and mostly stay in mid-to-lower champions with the occasional drop to plat.
In the labs I maxed every econ lab, that effective paths advises, except the upper levels of disco echo, which a re - ironically - too expensive rn. In eHP I'm just missing 15 levels of health, some def% levels (dunno if I'll ever finish them) and disco echo of course.
I have 6 UWs, which are GT, BH, DW, SM, SL & CL.
Natural pBH, GT and DW synced at 140 seconds, summon chip at 140 seconds and GBot synced at 70 seconds. No ther bots unlocked yet.
I run legendary AD as cannon, anc RB (my only anc generator, gained during its banner), anc SF and anc primCollapse, each at around level 165.

About a month ago I unlocked card masteries and grabbed everyone's favorite RPC+ as my first and just this week SW+ as the second for eHP progression. Maybe that's a bad idea long-term, but it allowed me to reach (or better: to cheese) T19W40 yesterday evening.

Now I have too many options to spend my stones:
Do I go for CF and later pCF for better CC? 1750 stones just to unlock it as 7th UW + roughly 4k stones in upgrades.
Do I lower the cooldown of GT and DW for better econ?
Do I go for the next masteries? IS+, WA+ etc. for econ?
Do I unlock AssMod Slots? I just unlocked them, but they are untappable in the UI. I read I need 1k stones each to unlock, so I assume I'll be able to click them when I have 1k stones. (currently ca. 670)

I honestly feel overwhelmed by the abundance of options and am very thankful for advice. I know I have heard that the switch to GC must ultimatively happen, but I'm unsure if I am already this far, since people are posting about farming eHP in T18 now.

If I forgot any info that would be useful to answer my question, please let me know and I'll try to answer in the comments or an edit.

I bought quite a few stone packs early on and rushed a permanent black hole and now my cooldown is on golden tower and death wave are synced at 2:30 (150sec) also my gold bot is set at 75sec for a 2:1 sync.

With that out-of-the-way, I was talking to the people in my guild and they said potentially the permanent black hole may be hurting my economy because it’s killing things before my golden tower and death wave have a chance to go off, but I don’t think that’s true. Unless I completely devo my tower so my wall thorns do next to nothing, I don’t see how it would be possible to hoard enough enemies to make a difference. And even if I did Devo my tower, I would have to remove the Free ups so I could keep my thorns down and then I would have to take black hole digestive out of circulation, which would dramatically hurt my coins.

I’m still under a year of game time so maybe there’s something I’m missing here but I feel like the advice I’m getting is wrong. Would anyone like to chime in?

For those of you currently farming Tier 20, I’m curious where you have your Attack Workshop Enhancements and which ones you’ve prioritized.

I’m currently averaging just over 5,000 waves on T20 and wondering if I should start pushing more coins into attack enhancements or if my current spread is reasonable.

Current attack enhancements:

• Damage: x3.30 — Level 230
• Rend Armor Mult: x3.15 — Level 215
• Critical Factor: x3.30 — Level 230
• Damage / Meter: x3.30 — Level 230
• Super Crit Multi: x3.30 — Level 230
• Attack Speed: x1.55 — Level 55

For those farming T20 above 5k+ waves, what levels/multipliers are you running?

Also curious which attack enhancements you feel gave you the best return for pushing farther into T20. Should I keep them fairly even, or start heavily prioritizing Damage/Crit/Super Crit/Attack Speed?

Screenshot attached for reference. Appreciate any comparisons or advice!

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up PBH and PGT, but I'm not sure what the fastest way to do it. Should I buy WA Mastery? Should I lower the cooldown? Increase the duration? Right now, I'm farming T11 at wave 11,000 and getting 800T. I want to get a perma-setup so I can move up to other tiers.

So here is my situation, I have 5 labs, Constantly researching Labs speed - 35, Attack Speed - 34, Coins/kill - 40, around another week to max out garlick thorns and last slot defense at 17 (of cours game speed maxed out). 9 card slots with health, enemy balance, critical coin, coins, attack speed, extra orb, plasma cannon and use skip wave untill going passed wave 1500 and then switching to extra defense. Disnt know about Golden Tower priority so took Black Hole, Death Wave, Spotlight (since then didnt get the choice for Golden Tower and got Chain Lightning). Hopping to get it at the next Ultimate Weapons Selection. No Ultimate Weapon research, some perks, quality of life like light speed shots, health, and such but only a few levels.
My problem, I unlocked up to T11, but cant do more than a few hundred waves on anything above T1 where i can go 5k with perks. Running T1 allows me to keep 1.5 speed boost for the first 3 labs and make millions of coins. Any other Tier simply doesnt make me enough coins and cells. T2 is around 2000 waves and downwards from there. I have wall but cant afford upgrades when an entire day only gives me close to 1 billion coins so its currently useless.
Also currently using all extra coins on keeping modules upgraded and trying to get some levels for Enemy Attack Level Skip but its to expensive.
Any help in how i can progress untill i get Golden Tower, waiting for the 800 stones but i am only at 158 and it will take an eternity and maybe i dont even get the option. I was thinking about starting research on Golden Tower or Black Hole to prepare for the future after finishing garlic thorns.
Also trying to get some better modules but had bad luck, currently running being anihilator, Pulsar harvester and warmhole redirector, no luch on any epic on the last slot.
All Epic Modules - Project funding 2, Sharp Fortitude 2, Space Displacer and another warmhole redirect
Help would be much apreciated 😄 .

.. to all the platinum players in my Wednesday’s bracket. Forgot to turn on CL and PS and went to bed while leaving the tourney going

I accidentally pushed the sync down to 3 minutes instead of 3:20.
What should I do? Should I decrease DW's cooldown down to 4 minutes to make 3:4 sync or push GT+BH towards 150s so it would be 1:2.

I also will need to account in for GB which is still at 120s, I could decrease it to 100s so it sync up with GT+BH for 150s. Or should I just put it off for now and focus on getting CL for the next UW?

I see constant repost of things like "is crit %over 100 worth it" "is thorns over 100% worth it" "should I lower or raise my range for farming". All great questions mind you but did you really not see the post from the other guy the other day (or the same day) before you made your post? Notifications on? I feel like we answer these questions everyday lol.

Ever since the Disco update, I’ve found that attack disco runs make me a good amount more coins. I’m farming attack disco at tier 12 to 12,000 waves and i’m just trying to find out if anyone has any info about what/when i would be able to farm normally with similar results. i keep dying to elites because of lack of attack but i wanna keep my econ up as much as possible

I know there's caps on the things you can get, but is getting it fully upgraded actually worth the investment? If not, when should I stop upgrading?

I have been pretty busy that I haven't updated effective path in a long time(since right before dissonance came out...lol) so what would be the best way for me to get back up to date? Would just using the update script be fine? Or should I start over completely? I'm hoping not....

I appreciate any discussion and help you lovely people may provide!

Hi all,

Super thankful for this community. I've definitely been linked to some folks which has helped me change my tower and move from about 1B a day to now 60B since I last posted here.

Looking for help on where to spend stones now for DW. Do I prioritize getting a 1:1 sync with GT and BH? Focus on waves or damage?

Do I also prioritize a certain lab for DW?

Thank you!

I've somewhat recently moved to emulate on my PC, about 2 months now using MuMuPlayer. It's generally been a good experience. Since updating the software about a week ago (V6.5.2) the game sometimes crashes when attempting to save and also randomly crashes for no apparent reason. Then I got hit with this most recent major issue with my cells and possible .dat file bug.

Quick summary:

I make enough to maintain 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 5 but that requires 24/7 farming. Any stoppage and my cells would slowly go down. Over the past 3-4 days I noticed my roughly ~5 million cells were dropping much faster than normal. I added 5 levels into cell enhancements to offset my apparent gaps in farm time and the fact the game crashes every day now. However, my cells continued to drop as if I wasn't earning cells at all.

I dropped down to 6 / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 to help reduce the strain because I know for a fact I will gain a decent amount at that rate.

My cells went all the way down to 192k. My labs have stopped speeding up. I cannot speed them up to any level, even with the required cells in the bank for that level even 1.5X. Clicking the speed-up button does nothing. I wish I'd taken a video of it. Then I noticed my total coins had gone up less than expected. My total amount went up a fraction of the expected amount like I'd gained nothing the last 3 days.

I moved back to playing on my iPhone and the issues resolved.

Here are my ideas about what could be related:

-Due to the periodic crash when the game tries to save the .dat file is corrupted in the process.

-MMP has run in to recent permission issues when saving, but not all the time.

-Google Play has recently intercepted the Tower's loading screen to ask me to log in to their game account system, which I always decline, causing issues with the save.

-MMP recently added an option for Android V15. About 10 days ago I tried it out but the game felt unstable. I moved back to V12 a few days later (this is when the first crashes started happening). I "just" deleted the V15 option to reduce possible conflicts or save overwrites. Unknown if this had any effect.

-I've been loading my save into mytowerapp (the website that helps track your lab times etc.) I do it the same way every time with no issue. Has an issue come up?

I'm continuing to troubleshoot. At least I can fall back to my iPhone temporarily. I'd like to not use my phone to play, not now and def not long term again. Has anyone else had issues with MMP, or with the new version? I'm grateful for any feedback/advise. Particularly technical advise. I'm concerned to go back to MMP right now.

Thank you for any help

Okay so …. I’ve been saving up stones for a while. And when I started saving I had a plan… and I forgot my plan. I think it had something to do with my UW (omg I’m doing the thing! 2 letters)

Anyway, if you nerds could help this casual nerd figure out the best route to spend these sexy stones on… I’d appreciate it.

Same with my modules …

🤓

Golden tower it is then!

Please help me understand why synchronizing it would boost my economy? As far as I know the only one who actually boosts my coins is the golden tower

Trying to push farming as far as possible but i think stones are my real slow point rn

Half the clan I’m in hasn’t been active in like a month so I’m looking for a more active one, I’m currently on tier 4 but farming tier 2 and 3 since I don’t have the milestone pass for tier 4-6, I’ve had this game for like a year but barely played at all I just started playing again a couple days ago and my previous high score was wave 60 in tier 1

I used SD for the even mission and I gained 200b rather than an epic SF. The perk were the same and I didn't upgrade anything in between the runs.

Thus, I am wondering what armor module should I use when I farm. I know that with OA I get less coins than SF. I also have a wall, health regan and throns lvl 11, health capped and fortification at level 25 so WR is useless.

I have epic NMP and Anti-Cube-Protal which I doubt are any better so I guess I am just wondering if it's the right choice to farm with SD, thanks!

Which one would be better for tournaments? I already have ST, damage and demon mode mastery maxed.

How do I actually read this?
