[synergism] Quinn's guide to the post-C11 era
Quinneapolis
so once you clear Challenge 11, your ants will be 100,000 times stronger, meaning things will be nice
Quinneapolis
your goal is now to gradually move your ascension duration from days to seconds
Quinneapolis
first part of that is via cubes
Quinneapolis
each time you ascend, you get cubes
Quinneapolis
roughly even split your cubes between upgrades and just opening them
Quinneapolis
a good upgrade route:
Quinneapolis
oh, notation
Quinneapolis
"wAxB" means "the wow cube upgrade in row A and column B"
Quinneapolis
- w1x1 capped
Quinneapolis
- w1x7 for particle building automation
Quinneapolis
- the other first-row automation upgrades are optional but nice
Quinneapolis
- w1x3 capped
Quinneapolis
- w2x2 capped
Quinneapolis
then everything into tributes until you have aboutttt 20-30k
Quinneapolis
Tesseracts
Quinneapolis
You get (for now) one cube tesseract per ascension
Quinneapolis
spend 1 to get a Dot, and do NOT spend 8 to get another dot
Quinneapolis
spend 10 to get a tier 2 building
Quinneapolis
oh shit this is all pre-c11 I'm dumb SKIPPING AHEAD
Quinneapolis
AUTOMATE EVERYTHING TIME
Quinneapolis
By this point you should be able to farm cubes pretty fast by repeatedly ascending
Quinneapolis
but that should be easier
Quinneapolis
so you need to aim for a few specific upgrades
Quinneapolis
- research 6x25 - Auto Challenge
Quinneapolis
this'll be actually about the last of these you get
Quinneapolis
so let's come back to it
Quinneapolis
- Research 6x5 - Auto Fortify
Quinneapolis
automatically puts fragments towards talismans
Quinneapolis
- Research 6x10 - Auto Enhance
Quinneapolis
automaticlaly enhances talismans
Quinneapolis
now you can stop going to the talismans screen
Quinneapolis
- If you don't have it, Instant Challenges from the quark shop
Quinneapolis
- All first-row automators in wow cubes
Quinneapolis
- w2x10 - rune automation now distributes exp evenly between all five runes
Quinneapolis
now you don't have to go to the runes screen ever again
Quinneapolis
by now you should be able to just sit on the challenge screen
Quinneapolis
- w1x10 - Auto Ascend
Quinneapolis
it's on the Corruption screen. Set it to auto-ascend whenever c10 clears is 1
Quinneapolis
- research 6x25 - Auto Challenge
Quinneapolis
for real this time!
Quinneapolis
this thing is a little more complicated
Quinneapolis
it gives you a bot that will run challenges for you, and you decide how
Quinneapolis
with Start Time, Exit Time, and Enter Time
Quinneapolis
Start Time - the bot waits this long before starting a sweep of the challenges
Quinneapolis
Exit Time - if the bot spends this much time in a challenge without clearing it, it will abandon the challenge and move on to the next one
Quinneapolis
Enter Time - the bot waits this long before starting the next challenge
Quinneapolis
fiddle with these to find a time you like - at higher levels, I have it set to 2, 0.5, 0.5 respectively
Quinneapolis
your goal should be something like
Quinneapolis
set this up so that by the time it finishes its second loop through the challenges, you ascend
Quinneapolis
spend a bunch of tributes to get stronger to help this happen
Quinneapolis
save up and get the third tesseract building somewhere around here
Quinneapolis
update I just learned -
Quinneapolis
once you get w3x8 (automatically gain particles without having to reincarnate), try setting the challenge bot to 0/0.5/0
Quinneapolis
so with all that and some love and care
Quinneapolis
you should be able to get your ascension time down to about 30 seconds or less
Quinneapolis
when you're feeling confident, clear c11 again for even more absurd ant power
Quinneapolis
btw you'll unlock the ability to open tesseracts like cubes during this process
Quinneapolis
don't do this
Quinneapolis
not for a LONG time
Quinneapolis
so
Quinneapolis
now it's time to talk
Quinneapolis
about CORRUPTIONS
Quinneapolis
the TLDR of corruptions is that they make runs harder but also increase rewards
Quinneapolis
each one can be leveled anywhere between 0 and 12
Quinneapolis
the higher the level, the more multiplies your score for the run
Quinneapolis
the higher the score, the more cubes and tesseracts you get
Quinneapolis
my rule of thumb is around the 20-second mark
Quinneapolis
once you can ascend in under 20 seconds, up your corruption
Quinneapolis
the rules of thumb for which ones to up are:
Princess Emily
don't be like me and mess with corruption early on,,,
Quinneapolis
- always up I and II together
Quinneapolis
- getting a corruption from 0 to 1 is a MASSIVE score boost, 1 to 2 is much smaller
Quinneapolis
so, your eventualy goal from there should be all corruptions at level 1
Quinneapolis
from there it's time to just make your numbers huge
Quinneapolis
main grind is rapid-fire ascensions for more cubes - get all upgrades that cost 100k or less, then grind your tributes up into the millions
Quinneapolis
take some time at various points for each of
Quinneapolis
- get the 1e28 cost permanent researches
Quinneapolis
- do some long runs with big ant sacrifices to farm up your rune blessing levels into six digits
Quinneapolis
- get more c11 clears when possible
Quinneapolis
- get higher tier Tesseract buildings
Quinneapolis
- once you have a tier 5 tesseract building, start opening tesseracts for tributes
Quinneapolis
the gate for c12 is somewhere around
Quinneapolis
- 10M cube tributes
Quinneapolis
- 3.5M levels in each blessing
Quinneapolis
- 2K tesseract gifts
Quinneapolis
- 5 clears of c11
Quinneapolis
I'm getting close to that
Quinneapolis
oh important, important note:
Quinneapolis
do NOT forget to turn off your corruptions when you go to do things other than farming cubes
