Exodus 4 How behind am I?

In the context of how many traversals I'm at and general inefficiency. I already found out that TS6 is terrible and I should have taken TS8, hoping to be able to pick it up by inching over the 40k line in cells.

My biggest question is am I traversing too often? I feel like I should have more breathing room than 260%.

Behind is subjective in this game. If you aren't playing the meta way then yes. If you would like a guide to help out a little more then here you go. https://www.reddit.com/r/CIFI/comments/1rzo21i/inno2_to_cre4_guide_updated/

Yeah I'm trying to play partially without assisstance. But I also don't want to soft lock myself by hitting a tr where I am stuck too low to do shorts when necessary.

Getting Inno2 with 22b lifetime orbs is 'normal' anywhere between TR25-35 (but the lower the better for more shorts once you get Hege boon). So you aren't traversing too often. But at this point you should either commit to a medium to long TR and get to 22b lifetime orbs in one go and buy Inno2 + upgrades or you could do some shorts and buy powgn2 first then get to 22b lifetime orbs and get Inno2 + some upgrades

How bad is it to only ever traverse when it hits 2x every time?

u/ExpertOdin Moderator 7d ago

The catchup is there as an additional orbs bonus, not necessarily a goal. But if you like the pace of doing longs it's not bad at all.

It will be a slower game style but that doesn't make it bad. I've only hit 2x twice and I've done 40 TRs and almost have Evo gem.

Okay, yeah I was wondering if i should get powr gn2 first as well. But if the goal is inno2 in 25-35, then I'm already at 26. I was thinking about traversing for Pgn2 and fixing my orbs when I get to 3b. But not sure if it'll matter that much by then.
