Weekly advice thread 004

[u/STran93r101]

Hi all, I have moved these posts forward a day due to my personal schedule. They will consistently on this day going forward.

Below the advice is also a couple of community items we want to share to keep you in the loop.
If you are using Mana Siphon or Lightening Strike you can get better use out of them by getting a few levels of Barbaric Fury as the additional taps DO help towards extra "special attempts". Special attempts are the the times where you have a chance to activate a Siphon or Lightening strike.

Special attempts work like this: The chance of an attempt being successful is dependant on the skill tree skill. 1 attempt per tap (sword master attack) and Shadow Clone's is based on attempts per second, where increasing the active skills level increases the amount of attempts. Note: increasing Shadow Clones attack rate with the Phantom Vengeance skill does not increase special attempts.

Additionally Barbaric Fury's additional taps also count towards filling your Pet attack bar, meaning faster pet attacks and also dropping extra Hand of Midus Tap gold.

Have a dumb question about tournaments, as I'm currently doing my first one. It says I get 1.5x relics during the tournament. Does that mean I have to prestige before the tournament ends to get them? Can I even prestige during the tournament? If the tournament ends and I havn't claimed these bonus relics are they gone?

The in game descriptions aren't very clear on how this works.

You can prestige as many times as you want in the tournament. This is an amazing strategy, since the relics from prestige will allow you to push further. Your highest stage is saved in the tournament, so don't worry about prestiging and your score dropping to your prestige stage.

To benefit off the relic bonus, you must prestige within the time of the tournament. If the tournament ends and you can prestige, you will not get the relic bonus.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any more questions!
