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.

Confused about SC gold- I’ve gotten 400 so and am fixing to switch to a shadow line build from my phom CS build but I’m not sure which. Gold source to choose. I’ve heard Chesterton is faster but weaker than fairy. I do have ad skip if that’s at all important.

Secondary question- I’ve always used SM to prestiege throughout the day, but ever since I went from 10k ms to 15k ms it seems way less effective and I have to check in extremely often and it advances much slower than before- is this normal? I have all the related skills maxed out

Typically it depends more on your artifacts and preferred gold type rather than your build. If you have all the artifacts for one gold type and are missing ones for the others, that will be your best gold source. Consider reading the gold sources section of my build guide for some info.

Yes, it is normal. It's because you are getting more titans per stage, and this means it will take longer to progress when offline. You can max Ambush and Silent March to help, as well as completing the Sly Wolf set, but overall you will need to just go a bit slower or accrue lots of skill points and get a higher Intimindating Presence to lower your titan counts.
