**** cronos has himeslf a grade 82 juust from combining some gems

I've been lurking here for a couple days and I don't understand how you can get so many monsters to stay on your mana farm gem. I can barely get 2k on the screen at a time and y'all have 5k on one tile.

hmm ive noticed you guys have stronger grade 60s than i do by quite a significant amount, abuot 3x the mana gain for your 60s.

im doing the standard way of making a dual red/yellow by duplicating then adding the 1 red and 1 yellow and so on, i do this until 14 or so then i add 1 blue and 1 black to make a 16, from here i just keep going orange and black on top of my gem. not sure what im doing wrong that its so much weaker

im using 6 pure black amps

note i do have weaker gem, trap, and amplifier skills than you guys but i dont see how that would make up for 3x the mana, although maybe it would if you guys have like 50-60 in all of those necessary skills

angering is so frustrating. i have to anger waves with like 100 grade 50s, and ive lost my last 4 runs because ill dump pack after pack after pack of gems on a wave, but sure enough ill be 5 hours deep into a game and accidently dump 1 extra pack on a wave without counting, and suddenly its unkillable so i lose

wait so your gem is red-yellow-black-blue-orange? That's the reason. It's a quint gem(or whatever 5 color is called). Only 4 color or less gets bonus from true colors, and its a quite significant bonus.

no

meant red orange not red yellow

just throwing a gem in this thread:

just lvl 36. but look at that mana/hit. compare that with a gem with the same mana cost

But how late of a wave #!

Before Wave 4 - Grade 50

Before Wave 7 - Grade 60

Please try to beat this. I'll be quite impressed, cause there's a limit on how many barrage chargeups that happen in this time, even with maxed barrage.

i dont play on early waves. i send a lot of early to get more spell recharge.

i try to get the most mana/hit with least invested mana.

Well still beat it :P If you can't your method isn't as good. You have no need to call waves early.

Nice. Level?

I'm trying to do this at lvl 1700~ and max settings except manalock and its driving me crazy.. How did yall level so much?

I'm about level 2700 now, this about the end of that run, i'm just going to clear a few hundred waves of endurance with my kill gem and see if I can get a hundred or so levels
