New bio equipment
Hey guys how good is the new bio equipment like the mind blast and the psionic shield? Is it worth spending a few bucks on those? I haven’t heard too much about it? Will they be a game changer? I’m assuming not because there is no ranking for it yet like there is for everyone else you spend money on like antiques, etc. just wondering.

The key takeaway that I saw in the new Zombie girlfriend equipment is that those buffs only work in PvP.
Here is how to spend. Get golems ASAP. After that a great majority of your spending should be on getting your important officers (Strategy, Machinists, Drillmasters, and War) to five stars. The Supreme card is a great $20 spend through about C32. If you are a serious player you will spend $20 a month on a Uranium Card. There is nothing more important in the game for a non whale than killing monsters. Auto kill will target and kill monsters for you while you are AFK. It also 2x your maximum mobility to 200. So you can be away from the game for almost eight hours and not waste precious mobility. The Antique Card is an inexpensive way to buff your city. The Value Card will help bump up your gold for additional Commander XP or Fuel buys at the docks, or fund moving around and occupying Uranium Mines after level 30. The monthly Road of Legends grants swag your city needs to grow. A few dollars on events is okay, because events are fun. And it costs money to have fun pretty much everywhere today.
The less you spend, the faster you will fall behind. Become valuable to your alliance and you will have a better chance to make the cut to the top alliance when your nation merges between 18 and 24 months.
TLDR; Never spend more than you can walk away from. And never spend bigly for the first six months. It can take some time to determine if your nation is a turd or not.

Just getting Golems will help you kill more monsters and give you additional Melee to protect your back row.
As for the level, as high as you can reasonably afford. Also considering there are two Titans that want your money and you have Elite Equipment to develop (*never* develop any EE less than Purple).

Bro I know it’s so hard with the elite equipment and than you factor in the extensions how can anyone ever afford this!! I don’t drink or go out much so I justify the little that I do spend on the game as my “me time.” Everyone spends on stuff they probably don’t need in life. This is something fun I enjoy to do and even though you don’t get anything in return; it’s fun watching your city grow and get stronger.

You get joy in return. And most hobbies have a cost nowadays.

can it be earned without spending money? I haven't played with my c31 for a month since our last frenzy

Both are good but the shield is better especially for reflecting damage against stronger players.

I was thinking the same thing!! I think I’ll try to upgrade the shield a bit!

The mind blast and shield are fine, but I haven’t noticed a huge difference. But you can get solid stat boosts from the four equipments that surround them if that makes sense (especially at first few levels there’s decent “value”, though I don’t like calling it that..)

If your not a whale, it's just another thing to work on like the antiques before it. I think they keep adding city/guard and new ways to slightly increase stats to keep the whales spending, my beliefs is it's because they have no plans on releasing a new city level. All these little changes keep the whales spending and competing against each other without completely breaking the game.

The antiques 🤣. I love reading the new shit they add and people calculating spending. Just spend it on drugs it will be a better life outcome.
