If I do DD, U, GG, red and blue get larger and larger. Help.

have you tried adding dual grade 2 blue/red gem to your black/orange one when it's g70 or so worth of mana?

But then how to get a grade 35 supergem without chain? Help I don't get you.

DD, U, GG on orange/black gem, when it's g35 supergem just mix in dual blue/red.

Wow yall are starting to confuse me...

BUT HOW TO GET TO Grade70 equivalent mana(2.8E22) without any chain or blue?

AND....if you make a NEW one at G70, then what about starting from 0 hits? I don't understand.

Yes, I mean starting from 0 hits and making new gem every one or two updates. I've done this way g70 just few minutes ago, everything lasted about 2h and 40 waves on my poor PC with 2k monsters permafrozen and nearly-realtime game. There is really very little difference (5% or something like that) between 7M hits (farm really, really fast) and 150M if you would have been updating the old one.

EDIT:
Of course I saved some gem 2 grades lower than my mana gem but w/o blue/red just for not to repeat the whole process every 10 mins.

Uh.....

You know I can get a grade 70 by wave 15, right? Lolz....

You get it at 40, not very good imho.

Well, well, well! I'm surprised, the supergem method IS better...tho not by much, and IDK if its worth the hassle TBH. Supergem is 1:2, 1:3 would skew combining costs.

Supergem isnt THAT big an improvement, and I think due to huge damage loss, for damage gems, specced gems are best for damage. Supergems best for mana.

Hmm, so like, start with a 1:3supergemmed dual OB grade 5, add a G2 dual RB to it, upgrade the amped non-quad one via supergemming, dupe, add G2 RB to that, etc? Huh...

Well I just tried with G25s(G9 equiv I believe for 1:3).

Methods-

U quad gem -> 24K leech.

Specced quad gem -> 61K leech

Supergemmed G9 + G1 R G1 B -> 40K leech.

Am I doing it wrong?

my method is nearly 3x better than a standard grade 81 by a 81 equiv gem. and by standard i mean using the combinging strategy weve all been using, not flat upgrading

i phase out the blue red and black into nothingness and make it more and more orange as the gem progresses without resetting the hits at all

also thunder, the wave you reach a certain grade at is irrelivent for this challenge. if you get a g80 on wave 2 but somone gets a g90 by wave 300 then for the sake of this challenge theyre farther along so thats all we have to consider here

update for me, im moved and home for the summer + fall now so when I feel like it i can start another attempt

the goal on attempt 2 is to make a g87 equiv mana gem thats improved upon cronos' gem, and from that gem attempt to make a 90 killgem

Can you explain your method (or it was explained somewhere and I've missed it)?

ConnerC, how?!!!

To supergem you dupe, yes? Well those dupes increase slow chain blood. I don't understand how to do this!

you can always create a B/O supergem and get that up to the grade of your other gems, and combine that instead of duping your original supergem
