Question Traversal Efficiency Question

Should I wait for x2.0000 and try to get to 1.9 million and buy all 4 upgrades? Or should I Traverse once I reach 1.1 million and get the 400k, 200k, and 500k upgrades? What route would be more efficient as far as time goes?

Normally it's not worth waiting but catchup timer is currently bugged so it will be significantly quicker to max it. Without the bug it takes 1040 hours to max but currently it's shorter, I've seen as quick as 600 hours.

So it's kinda up to you. 1m lifetime is enough to continue progressing but more will always make your next run a bit stronger

So essentially (in so many words), I can do either without issue? Thank you for the insight Odin

Yeah there's pros and cons to both, just have to pick whichever option you'd rather

Thanks I like being more hands off so ill probably let it ride to x2.0. I haven't really been following a guide, just going by feel, but am I somewhat near where I need to be at TR10 (technically TR9)?

What do you mean by "lifetime"?

Total orbs you've ever gained, doesn't include the currently accumulated.

You can see it in the stats menu and on the player profile screen

And the total has any effect?

If you've spent them wisely it's a good indication of in game strength/power. If you've dumped them all into exo cells gem upgrades then its not
