So I'll take it, by your math, vesperbot, that hard setting endurance is the best and only way for exp? (besides pylons, of course)
Also, the most armor you will ever find naturally is around 141,241287. This is with armored monsters and higher armor. This was wave 1336. 1337 was less. like 134M.
Ledrias, yes exactly. See, you will have to both maintain creation of angering gems (361 G31s, that's a G39 raw) and a gem to get mana and kill, this being really over the top (G60? I don't know how big a gem one needs for this). But this gem requires too much mana to produce even if you have a G12 L/O right off the bat to get you mana to start, and 79 straight waves (since you are limited in their number in non-endurance). And you need to have ~30 waves to setup prior to the time you can summon at least several thousand monsters, this forces you to get more than 400 G31s to pay for those waves that weren't angered this high.
I've only gone to 33, I don't care for higher. Right now I'm just experimenting with the battle settings, trying out new gem combos, etc. It'll be a while before I go back to all 164 endurances...
Just got a 36 w/ 33 amps. did like 2B max and 25k x multi.
Took out 300t monsters with ease, and 1 qdr monsters with some struggle. I actually lost this game cause I duplicated a grade 27 right when the swarms passed through for like the 20th time, and lost. Mana pool was only like 100k higher. FML
Win every single map with a 1x multiplier. No summoning, other battle options, or battle amulets. Keep in mind one-three amulets: OVERKILL DAMAGE. Yup, harder than it seems. Also, starting waves early, 100 mana is nothing.
So far I have 7 maps done all with 1x. If anyone can beat me to it or do better, take a screenshot of the map. This will take some time, especially since you can only use wild gem level 18 or less (20 on two of them, I think).
you will definitely hit the wall on the pylon level, however you can still try note also you are limited to 9 towers and 4 amps, but you can gembomb some.
Actually, vesperbot, I'm trying to get NO amulets, even gembombing for the novice amulet. Can't create grade 4 gems. No duals, or triples. Can't uuse amplifiers, or destroy beacons. I'll see how many maps this is possible on. I'm sure it's not all 169, that's guaranteed.
Well im stuck. I can no longer gain any exp. I need to hit lvl 30 for me to move on, but no mater what area I play I dont gain exp even though It says I do! Anyone else encounter this?
