It's Friday! What have you been up to in the Tower this week?
Happy Friday Tower Friends! 👋
Hope you all had a great week and you're looking forward to the weekend. We're in another heatwave here and it's causing some issues across the country that we're not used to. Anyway, I'm looking forward to chilling out enjoying doing nothing. Sometimes these types of weekends are needed.
Let's keep this weekly tradition going so we can engage with each other and help others that may need it. It doesn't matter at what stage your Tower progression is, please feel free to get involved. Any questions for me, let me know and I'll kick start with my own progress:
\[**Farming**\] 🌱 Farming has stagnated for me a bit. I'm farming T18 to around wave 8400-8600 obtaining 3.27Q coins at 440q/HR and 1.33m cells. I'm happy with this progress but we always want more. I am clicking within the WS+ Utility tab when I have an excess of coins to spend, but that's literally it at the moment. I do run 43.5m min-range GC for my farm runs.
\[**Labs**\] 🏫
* Range Enemy Range \[14\] * Disso Echo UW \[10\] * Ranged Ultimate \[2\] * Disso Echo Attack \[10\] * Disso Echo Utility \[10\]
Obviously looking to keep the Disso Echo Labs rolling to keep the improvements coming from them. Ranged Enemies can be a pain during tournaments, especially when the Ranged Enemies BC is about. I'm looking to work on some enemy labs that will help but I won't push them too far. Enough to make a difference.
\[**Workshop**\] 🔨 I have utilised the 5 WS preset for tournaments. This allows me to go full GC to see how that compares to my hybrid-based preset. More testing is needed before I can give my opinion.
\[**Modules**\] 🟢 Main Modules are 201, as usual and Assmods are now 190. I have been destroying all fodder to keep this train charging for module levels.
\[**Bots**\] 🤖 For farming I unlock Gold Bot, Amp Bot and Bot Bot. CD/Bonus/Range are maxed on Gold Bot and Bot Bot. Amp Bot has the remaining upgrades applied. For tournaments I unlock all the Bots. Amp Bot CD/Bonus/Range is maxed and has Echoing Shot upgraded to Quantity 6, so far. Thunder Bot has CD/Range maxed with Linger at 50%. Bot Bot CD is maxed and the remaining medals go in other upgrades.
\[**Guardian**\] 👽 Fetch/Summon/Scout for Farming. Scout/Attack/Ally for tournaments.
In all honesty, these upgrades are far too slow. 107 Bits for 1 second CD at 52s right now. 😴
\[**Tournaments**\] 🥇 Saturday: 1880 waves \[GR 1867\] 11th place. Wednesday: 1984 waves \[GR 1940\] 10th place.
In all honesty, I've been losing a little ground and I'm not entirely sure. I have been unlucky with brackets, about 2-3 places below where I should be for my waves but also, I haven't been improving as much on my wave counts as I believe I should be doing. However, there are a couple of reasons for this and those are to do with saving and other alternatives. I have a stack of stones (waiting for v29) and I have been investing in multiple areas, not necessarily pure tournament. This might change very soon so I can hit that 2000 wave count milestone very soon. 💪
\[**Keys**\] 🔑 35 Keys in the bank. I could continue to save or spend them before the update. Gem Stack x5, Cards Slots or Power Tree upgrades are the options I have.
\[**Future**\] 💭 As we know, we are expecting v29 in August but we don't fully know the details. I have been saving some Stones in case things change that require these currency. However, if that isn't the case, I have a few options and I would like to know what you think. I have some options to upgrade the following:
* Continue to push pPH and upgrade to PS+. * Push CF+ (currently at 5). * Push GT+ and GT Duration (currently GT+10 and Duration 1m 4s). * Push Assmods more * Cannon ME 35% SE 8% * Armour ME 11% SE 1% * Gen ME 49% SE 23% * Core ME 44% SE 25% * Or simply go full ILM+ and commit to that. Currently my ILMs are x58 / 6 (maxed) / 50s (maxed).
If you were in my position, what would you look at upgrading?
I will potentially share my full build on Reddit at some point. People can see where I'm at and we can have discussions about it from there but please do let me know what you think about the options above.
