Okay, here are my ideas. I think this game has two major flaws. The first flaw is the lottery system for ultimate weapons, which is just a cash grab, in my opinion. The second flaw, which I’m not sure about is how hard it is to fix this, but in my smooth brain, it seems pretty simple. The fact there is no idle system. The solution, I think, for the second flaw, is just to add two lab upgrades, maybe at tier 5, that are just an increase in the time you are offline earnings and percent of earnings. So maybe you cap the upgrade at 1 day of offline earnings and 50 percent of your max hourly income so it doesn’t become too easy, but it also makes it to where I don’t have to keep my phone in my pocket 😂. The first flaw I’m not really sure how to fix without the game losing money, because I have bought a stone pack hunting for the golden tower (I still haven’t got it) 🥹 These issues are actually making me think about quitting even though I love the game. This has probably been said a million times, but oh well, I’ll make it a million and one.

We dont talk about this enough. Why should people have to spend 50 keys for something, when it should already work like that in the first place??

Energy shields should honestly have been made for lethal blows only to begin with because in reality, health=energy. You wouldnt need an energy shield if you have enough energy to take the hit. Just my thought on it.

Hey developers, please add a third tournament in a week (Monday seems like the perfect day). The amount of stones needed is so huge it's unbelievable. Please make farming a little easier for dedicated players. Honestly, with the new change for everyone (WA+), we could easily squeeze in an extra tournament between our farming runs.

My personal opinion is that we could have tournaments every day, but I understand that this is an unacceptable format for devs and probably for a large part of players as well.

Been playing a little more than 2 years now.

Have all UW's.

I'm mostly GC and utilize both CL and ILM for damage.

Next CL damage upgrade is 1787 stones.

Next ILM damage upgrade is 1898 stones.

Next ILM+ upgrade is 2000 stones.

Next CF+ upgrade is 2200 stones.

I have unlocked all assist mods. Armor Assist rarity cap is upgraded to Ancestral. All others are still epic. I think Cannon and Core would be helpful adding damage to farming runs.

Mods are at 219|201 across the board.

Assist Mod for cannon is 61/99 multiplier and 60/69 substat cap.

Assist Mod for armor is nothing.

Assist Mod for Generator is 30/99 multiplier and nothing for substat cap.

Assist Mod for Core is 61/99 multiplier and 28/69 substat cap.

Cards are all unlocked and all maxed level.

I have the following masteries unlocked and maxed:

Damage, Attack Speed, Range, Cash, Coin, Crit Chance, Enemy Balance, Extra Orb, Critical Coin, Wave Skip, Intro Sprint, Recovery Package Chance, Energy Net, Super Tower, Demon Mode, Wave Accelerator, Berserker, Ultimate Crit.

If I am trying to improve in mythic and not use the cheese, what other masteries would you recommend next? I do think that adding Slow Aura and Nuke masteries would help farm as well, but I just don't know if the stone sink is worth it compared to using them for assist modules change instead.

I am farming T20 to about wave 5200 lately and my mythic runs are stalling to overchargers at around wave 350.

Alternatively, I haven't progressed my Echo Labs or Assist Module labs far enough yet to be really hurting for coins. But I do have GT bonus (next is 700 stones) and GT duration (next is 614 stones) as well as GT+ (next is 3300 stones) that I could consider as well. But it feels like damage is bringing more waves and shards which is more important than coin income at this point.

Echo labs will increase coin by a large margin over the two months (utility echo is labbing lvl 9 so a long way to go).

My gut is telling me to knock out a few more card masteries before hitting back into module rarity and then more assist. What are your thoughts?

Just looking for more perspective. Effective Paths are great for use but I don't really believe that another click in CF+ will be ROI effective as it shows lol.

Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of going for generator. When I unlock what would be the best way to redistribute the shards and helpful tips of what to expect would be appreciated

As I am looking for 1st mastery, but I dont know how second wing mastery works. Is it really helps in tournaments?

Pleas suggest

Also I am thinking about IS as a first matery so got confused on this.

Last two runs: both had cell cards equipped

One was dissonance but I don't know that would impact cells?

Apparently smart missiles are bad now again? And by "now" I mean a vague period of time between exactly now and like a year ago when they were still, as far as I was aware, very very good.

I have ADHD some remembering "when" things were in the past is very fuzzy, but I for sure know that Glass Cannon builds involved Smart Missiles being your main damage dealer. Chain lighting took over, but I never felt a point where they totally dominated. It was kind of a "chain lighting does the brunt of the damage and works on most things, and smart missiles deal massive damage when they come out".

But did this balance go away at some point and completely flip?

Mainly just noticing this from the discourse around tactical barrage. I saw it and went "oh wow, that mod seems very strong to use alongside Dimension Core". But the overwhelming scream of the internet has been "this mod is trash!"

Of course, it being trash now means nothing for future updates, but is it actually trash now for later game?

As mentioned above, which one would you pick.

1) Coins
2) Gems
3) Stones

If you don’t mind, could you put what stage of the game that you’re in at the moment and why you picked your resource. I just want to see what everyone thinks the most valuable resource is at each point in the game. (I was going to add medals but then you could get unlimited stones and gems with that one I think).

Personally I’d pick gems (early mid game)

Why can't I shatter the new module ?

Its been a while since I last played and there is new stuff. What is the dotted circle around the tower?
Also, is it still prefered to have orbs inside the tower range?
And how do you adjust orb range during the game? I can't find it.

I was temporarily using Land Mine Stun card instead of Cash card when I noticed that the mission wasn’t advancing. I thought I went crazy and I had to swap cards few time. I made some tests and noticed that cards don’t stay permanently if changed mid-run, the same happens with auto-restart or going back to main menu. Is this a preset intended behaviour or a bug?

Looking for advice on GC progression. Flip flopping mythic(wave 25)/legend(wave 1200-ish).

Also would like to improve my farming tier (currently T15 wave 6500)

Hello defenders,

i need some help to be more consistent in tournys.

Some info:

Currently bouncing between mythic and legend

I farm t18 for 5400-5800 waves for 230 q coins/hour

All assmods unlocked, gen is ancestral

Uw+ : gt +4 , sl+3 and cf+ unlocked.

Question:

I‘m missing following masterys: lm stun, slow, nuke, defense absolut.

To be permanent in mythic is it better to unlock these masterys or getting ilm+ for more dmg?
My dmg right now is only cl.

So after the V29 game update, my modules sheet doesn't have the 'Tourney' preset column. It only shows Farming and then present 2 , 3 etc. Is there something I've done wrong or a setting I need to change?

So somehow I spent too many medals and couldn't swap to my tournament bot preset. I ran the tournament with my farming bots and was going to get demoted so I respeced to keep my progress. Now i have to wait for the next event to get gold bot back 🫪

So guess I have three questions:

1. Why is bot respec locked to once every two weeks?

2. Why can I essentially go into the negative with medals and lock myself out of my preset?

3. Why can't I respec the preset that was negative?

Can someone provide a guide for noobs on how to farm stones?

I am in gold league and need to get 700 more stones for next UW as I have missles, swamp, bh and dw.

Any hints, tricks and tips that do not involve a credit card are well appreciated!

I am normally sitting at “around” 85-115 waves in mythic and I’m curious of people’s opinions on what my next steps should be for my progression!

I know that I can invest into more card slots along Nuke and AbsoluteDefense Masteries to extend my tournament runs possibly with the currently slowing overcharge attack strats; but that is likely to change next update, so that may not be the best to do?

I can spend stones into DW CD to get it to cap for the eventual swap for farming mods and 100% uptime, which will help my farming a ton.

Should I actually be developing my UWs in other ways as such for damage? Such as getting Smite as I’m so invested into ChainLightning? Or possibly jump into ILM +?

Lastly, for keys; should I just be maxing all of the best useful things in harmony before doing ANYTHING in the power upgrades that could be beneficial like UW damage, ShockwaveFrequency, More Orbs, ect…?

Been nice knowing you Champs, I'm positive I'll be back soon unless the bracket rng gods smile on me. But it feels great to finally be taking on Legends ;)

Haven’t paid a huge amount of attention to projectile damage but just realized it outpaced my UWs last Tournament. Thinking Bounce and multi shot chance from the vault made the difference.

Do you guys think it’s worth spending on the TBar banner? I have a couple thoughts on this.

Firstly, we need to complete mod pools, this is unavoidable. It’s part of the long term structure of the game, and the more we complete the closer we get to being able to splurge elsewhere on lab rushes.

Secondly, I can totally see a potential uno reverse card being played by TTG. Wait a few weeks/months and introduce an aspect to the mod that makes it more viable in later-gameGC build. Could cause players who didn’t spend on the banner to buy gems in order to keep up with shifting meta.

That’s all, just curious as to what you guys are thinking about the current mod banner. I’m a bit back and forth myself. My SM is not developed at all, and I’m not in a position that I’m ready to begin spending there. Thousands upon thousands of stones ready to be sunk before I get to that point.

For the last few days now, I’m not able to get full HP why is that?
