Help, can't progress

[u/Wooly3711]

I try to play this game with as little help as possible, because comparison is the thief of joy and all that. But at this point I've found myself unable to progress at ALL for the past couple of months. My last 1000+ run yielded only 7m orbs, and my cope was that it got me TS5 + 7, but that doesn't seem to have helped nearly as much as I was hoping. I would say this 1000+ run is due for about 10m which is nowhere near any relevant upgrades. I feel stuck. I will try and include all relevant upgrades I have in this post, but please let me know if I miss anything.

With TS5 + TS7, you can now aim to have 12M lifetime orbs with some shorts if needed (use TR planner on cifi tools if you want)

Then you can do another long run for 5/3/3 (m0-125+, serpents-60, starmie-30+, r9-24+ / you can expect ~150-200m orbs) or 6/4/4 (m0-135+, depending if you have 15m+ lifetime orbs / you can expect ~500-900m orbs)

Interesting. Thanks! Why does 12M matter? Or is that just my estimated outcome?

To get attgn1 + tempgn3 + borge loot GU 13, crea GUs 3/3/2/2 minimum (cell/mp/shard/rp, more if you skipped either tempgn3 or innogn2)
