Hello , I currently beat gemcraft labyrinth endurance mode with all the hardest setting , without letting a single monster reach my orb , without any hack/slow/whatever.
Here are a few of my tips.
1- Anger anger anger anger , Anger waves as much as you can as soon as you can. I like to anger 10 times with gems grade 2 wich gives me around +96 monsters.
2- Build a 3x3 tower/amplifier that looks like that :
x0x 0x0 x0x
Use Yellow/Green gems with yellow/green amplifiers. At around grade 12 gems use yellow only to upgrade the level on your dual gems.
Build (5 to 10 depending) Shrine and make a lot of gem grade 5 .
Send all waves at once that you angered 10-15 times. Just dont go at very high armor level anger as much as you can . Try to get +296 monsters per waves.
When all monsters are on map , drop all gem grade 5 on shrines that hits most monsters.
You will earn so many mana its insane, usually a wave has 4 monsters , but you get 290x that mana per wave.
Et voila if you survive your first wave, you should be able to have massive mana pool , make gems grade 12 like pie and start dropping gems grade 12 on shrine.
Repeat until you beat all endurance levels. all 1337.
once you have a gem grade 18 it will start to be super easy. personally i made a level 21 gem that had these stats ( approximative)
400.000-700.000 damage 100% chance to hit for 150x damage 100% chance to hit 47 target
sure he did green is useless almost completely, the only use for green is to wreck monsters with 1e9+ armor that were dwindled to 1hp by a shrine blast.
I tried your strategy and beat the game too. I didn't use all the hard settings (didn't use 'banished monsters heal', 'waves getting tougher faster' and 'shadow clash'. Any way, I could win every battle amulet including "do not let any monster reach you orb.
Some observations of my own: - I expand my mana pool just enough to duplicate G14 gems (around 880.000 mana). That's why there is a gem in a tower on the bottom left corner: it's a G14 yellow gem left there just to duplicate it. - I used G8 (early) and G9 (later) gems on the shrines. - I angered the waves as much as i could until it started to come with 3,333.333 billions hit points (around wave 250 I think). At this time I had my gems at G16 (only 9 gems and not 13 as the pic). - After that I just kept calling the waves early (around 50 per time) and using the shrines. - Around wave 650 my gems were G18 (and I add the 4 amplifiers) and i didn't have to much to worry about anymore. I just kept calling the waves early till the end and kept using the shrines.
I just beat Endurance mode With every single hard setting, 4x number of monsters, 10x amount of health, giant only, faster monsters, monsters have higher armor, monsters heal when banished, monsters cost more to banish, waves get harder faster (which by the way puts the new HP cap for the monsters at 9,999,999,999,999,999, which is 3,333,333 times as much health as without the "harder faster" buff, and the shadow buff. Message me if you want to know how i did it, (by the way i got into the 100+ millions of exp.
no actually its not that difficult, and im just trying to help people out, sooo. . . you can go shove it, i just found a nice trick that basically means you can do the hardest setting, and im sure some other people might be interested in finding it out so they get get 1000 levels in one fight
based on field, hp setting and "monsters tougher". Field - starting hp. On G13 it's 600 hp for tenfold giant. On G8 it's 20k for tenfold giants(you will meet cap a lot faster) Monster tougher - capped at 9 999 999 999 999 hp.
