Hmm...so no strike or enhancement spells, and only 5 skills and some lower-level talismans...
Already level 11 and it's only been about 8 minutes or so. Have 6 talisman fragments, all skills are maxed out at level 6, I get 210 additional starting mana from unused skillpoints, I have the Traps skill, and have obtained 28 achievements.
level 31....requiring 15k xp per level...don't think it's possible to go past level 40 lol. Endurance is the problem, the hp equation shoots straight up in Endurance, while it is much lower in regular waves. Thus, I only survive maybe 5-6 waves after the regular ones end lol
PS: Beacons give a lot of XP, at least it's a lot for low levels, and most have 100-500 hp, easily dealt with by gem bombs periodically.
My XP records-
F1: 74,938
F6: 52,895
Luckily, half of the maps in F have poison gems...they really are needed lol.
105K of that from the tiny amount of 17 normal waves.
Who knew that poison gems are the best(with G1 chain also) for this kind of thing? It's awesome. I think if I allowed E hextile(which has poison skill), level 100 would be easily in reach, with more angering disregard for armor, etc...after I get level 50 I'll allow E hextile maybe. Or make an new challenge for that...
Thing is, E would give poison, which is the(strange) key for getting this far in the first place. Then it'd make EVERY field open to MEGA angering because poison on very field = armor is nothing, and you can anger loads with premium, chain-poison in trap can take 20 monsters in a wave per trap, so anger G3, make a long G5-G6 trap chain-poison and rake in Xp....too easy.
Haven't continued challenge yet, I am working on a nonprem save to beat X5 at lowest level possible(tho hardest = X4 lol). Also, to show a nonprem farm if I can make one.
that would do it lol 51 now...........and that might be it for awhile......bored of playing the same few levels over and over........back to something a little more......more i guess lol
