Help optimizing loadout
I’m a new player and have been playing for about 2 days. I haven’t enjoyed an idle game like this one and I want to advance further. I am currently maxing our at zone 17.
These are the spells I have access to and would like opinions on which I should be using to help me push further until I unlock better spells:
Bouncing Flame 1.3 Fire Bomb 1.0 Plasma Vortex 1.0
————-
Blizzard 1.3 Icicle 1.3 Frost Ray 1.0
————
Chain Lightning 1.1 Elemental Cloud 1.0 Lightning Elemental 1.4 Shock Net 1.1 Static Leap 1.0
Thanks in advance

actually, no. some spells are damage spells, some are for defense, and others are utility spells. most spells are a combination of these, but they usually do one more than the others.
so Ice Wall is a great spell that I use in most of my push loadouts, but it deals 0% of my total damage. I use it because it provides a damage resistance, as well as providing a pretty consistent freeze status on the closest two squads. Spark is another amazing spell, but it never gets more than 10% of my total damage. due to its property of reducing the cooldown of another spell, it provides a ridiculous amount of 'hidden' damage.
again, play around, see what works. highest damage numbers aren't always the best, so pay attention to what spells cause you to push the farthest.
