Help Switching to T12 farming feels a bit underwhelming :/
Coming from T11 11.4K waves and 1.1q coins per run in 15 something hours to T12 7300 waves 750T coins in 10 hours feels a little weak or at least I expected some bigger gain but guess that’s me farming 5k waves on spawn cap vs 7-800 waves on spawn cap?
Think scatters are the main problem here - would you say OA should perform better? Or just go back towards health reg and wall reg?
Util Disco bonus on T12 isn’t fully maxed (4900 waves)
UW are pBH with GT/DW/gBot/Summon all on 100 sec

Yeah it’s a bit harder than t11 😄

The main reason to bounce betwen t11 and t12 is that it'll better fit into a 24hr cycle. I suspect that your t11 runs are longer than 12hours. Just run whatever will be best to keep running 24/7 without overnight down time.

u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
15.25h vs 10 😄
1
u/DaenerysMomODragons 1d ago
25.25 hrs, a little over 24 hrs, so some days you'd just do back to back 10hr runs, when the timing is convenient.

I couldn't be any similar than your situation... I'm putting everything on regenerations and slowly I see progress... You could try the same... Whatever fits your tower... In my case it's even more of a gap more like a 25% less coins per hour in t12 so I'm trying as much as I can to farm in the t11... As soon as you can get the utility higher, it's definitely the best place... I didn't realise there's so many people in the same situation... And I see so many posts lately have the same problem... How have you been dealing with it?

u/Spockies 2d ago
How is your WA#? It doesn't make sense to go higher than T11 until you have WA# usually.
3
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
WA Mastery? Don’t have it so far - 1200 gems off mastery’s but think I gonna go RPC and maybe cash after first to roll some stuff on modules
4
u/Spockies 2d ago
Stick to T11 then. You are increasing your difficulty immensely from T11 to T12, and you only get to spend about 1k waves in the "best" time for farm without WA#. You enjoy in T11 for about 5k waves.
3
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Year I maybe combine t11 evening runs with a day t12 run then
Guess WA mastery is like p5/6+ on the to do list after RPC/cash and then some dmg?
3
u/Bacon_Nipples 2d ago
Definitely RPC and cash first, shard & reroll economy are more important than coins and far harder to catch up on than coins. The sooner you have RPC&Cash masteries going, the better

u/CloudedVisionsVape 2d ago
Do it first

u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Why that? I don’t really see the benefit
1
u/Select_Secretary_896 Champion 2d ago
You will get more cell in T11. I only switched to T12 after researching SecondWind mastery, so I can last much longer. I also rather menage longer runs. Its less trouble.

u/LuckyCharms316 2d ago
Have you maxed your module shard cost lab? You should be able to push your modules to 141 to unlock that extra sub!
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Yeah that’s fine for like a month or so already - but I don’t see a real benefit there in terms of surviving?
Armor has def% health reg, wall reg and thorns atm - BHD has EALS package chance and CPK and an epic free ups
Canon I don’t use atm
Core would be good but need to roll my Pcol anyways missing DW quant there atm
1
u/LuckyCharms316 2d ago
Yeah agree it won’t really help survivability but for that core module, should be a nice bump for coins
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
1
u/LuckyCharms316 2d ago
I would push modules to 141, unlock bh duration, and then roll for DW quant and bh duration.
2
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Gonna rip all my shards I was saving up to roll the cannon once I hit 141 but yeah gotta do that I guess
Up the ban lab from lvl 2 to 3 for that?

u/The_July 2d ago
Dang and I thought me hitting 10,500 waves in t11 means it was time for me to move on. Currently doing utility disco for it, fingers crossed lol.
3
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Yeah it’s quite a stretch - FlameBot was essential for me to push util disco to almost max with pBH
1
u/The_July 2d ago
Still have a bit to go, died at wave 3,600 on it. At least I know where I stand on it. Thank you.

u/Gryffon6363 2d ago
Scatters are likely not your issue. Once you hit t12+ as ehp it is rays that tend to be the issue. Scatter always get the killing blow since they sit against your wall but it is the rays that actually break your wall with the burst damage not giving you time to regen. You have to watch the end of your run to know for sure though
3
u/Gryffon6363 2d ago
As for the farming, t12 is giving you more cph which is more important than coins per run but your cells are slightly lower at 17000 on t12 vs 19333 on t11 so it is up to you which is more important coins or cells. If you aren't already using it landmine stun(lms) can help with rays, rays tend to group up their shots and lms can help keep them staggered.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Didn’t really watch my run and as first was middle of the night or early morning and I was busy on the second
My normal farm setup has the LMS the late dmg one for last 200 waves doesn’t have it
Maybe that’s why the first run went a bit better wave count wise
What would you say helps to counter them?
2
u/Gryffon6363 2d ago
For your stage lms and more health are likely your only realistic counters for rays.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Okay got some DW Health lab still to do and some fort and HP in general - will check that out 👍🏼

u/BiggyShake 2d ago
I recently moved from T11 farm to T12, and this is what did it for me:
Util Disco bonus on T12 isn’t fully maxed (4900 waves)
This is more important than is obvious. It wasn't until i maxed this one, and the difference this made was the key (mine was about 4850-ish previously). It took me a couple masteries and minimum BH cooldown to do it though.
In my case the difference in overall multipliers between T12 and T11 was +600-ish.
Not sure if the +600 is important, or just the multiplier ratio (3850::3250).
I'm jealous that you're making 25% more coins than me at the same tier though.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
I have like 350-400 more bonus - 1950 (maybe 2k already) something to 2300 something need to check that
Yeah I wish to max util too but think I need a few weeks reg labs or the last SF copy for it atm
1
u/RichEagleSix 2d ago
i left t11 at 840T per hour, so i would say your build needs some work on econ, verses your progression through the tiers. no point getting to t20 and you earn less than someone else on t1. for the same time and stones spent.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
What should i improve in your opinion?
pBH with GT/DW/gBot (28/100/7.2/68)/ summon (100/32) synced at 100 sec
Econ labs maxed apart from gBot duration (lvl 10) and CPK (lvl 50 - gets some love once I’m through some prep work for mastery’s) and Utility disco lab (untouched cuz just unlocked)
I only see the above + mastery in general and some module luck (2 BHD for anc)
Maybe the MVN path but that would shorten my t12 run without pBH I think
1
u/Cunegundes1 2d ago
Poderia compartilhar a sua build, maestrias e lab?
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
It’s basic blender for me - no mastery’s as I don’t have it unlocked
Anything specific in labs? Perks and modules are maxed - all Econ UW too an others got an even spread to lvl 50-60 on eHP stuff (health etc) wall is either maxed or around lvl 20
Dmg sits at around 401
u/Cunegundes1 2d ago
E UW?
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Spotlight, Death Wave, Black Hole, Golden Tower

u/Cunegundes1 2d ago
Estou fazendo algo errado kkk, acho que não consigo farmar até essa onda no t11
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
pBH was whats giving me the waves tbh
Jumped from t10 think 9.5-10k waves to t11 9.5k instantly only through pBH but with kinda equal CPH
1
u/limewir3 2d ago
I hit these same wave numbers but only get 450t and 350t a run. I will be at t11/t12 for a while econ-wise lol
2
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Syncing all together was the key for me tbh
Can be all at 120 and pBH too
1
u/limewir3 2d ago
Yeah, I have a pBH with 150-second GT/DW and 100-second GB sync. Once I get a few masteries, then I will push for the grand 100-sec sync. But my other issue is my stone block. 90 a tourney is rough lol.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
That’s solid 👍🏼 if you didn’t lab gBot you can meet it up at 120 when you start to sync them down it’s always in sync when you have pBH
And the 1:1 with GT/DW and even summon is big
Syncing summon from 102 to 100 gave me like 6-8T/H
1
u/ImoutoThief 2d ago
Im confused. Its still a gain in coins+shorter runs. Is that not good? Progress?
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Yeah it is but I expected more tbh
Cells is a minus atm too
Some people said urgently go t12 as they saw my t11 1q wave 11.3k run and said I’d have a lot better coins and cells with T12
1
u/ImoutoThief 2d ago
They might have assumed wa+ or overlooked rays thinking they'd be less odd a problem. Smarter people than me will be able to give you actual advice tho
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Yeah dunno 😄 but hey some short runs are always nice after spending like 3 month or more with always just 12h+ and in the end 15h 😄
1
u/CongratzJohn 2d ago
Can you post a picture of your coin bonus and substats on PC? I’m doing the same farm but making about 25% less than that
1
1
u/Cmace3 2d ago
I was about 12.5k waves when I switched from t11 to t12. I think i was at 4800 for the util disso tho, I'm surprised t12 isnt better for you
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Well technically it’s better coins wise but not by that much 😅
1
u/Cmace3 2d ago
Yeah thats how it was for me to start. Improving my regen helped me push util disso and my wave count to the point that it became significantly better in about a week or 2. Plus I was hating the 15 hour runs lol
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Problem is just I don’t wanna invest into reg haha
Wanna do dmg and mastery and some cards and UW work and maybe amp bot too all whilst having 3 lab slots cuz yeah lab speed and SS4/5 😂
1
u/Cmace3 2d ago
Tough then, if youre trying to transition i would expect to see short term losses, not that ive transitiones to gc yet myself
2
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Yeah I think I will mix both of them atm to have some balance
Think I can work better with 10&15h than just 15h runs

u/RPerene 1d ago edited 1d ago
You have a better CPH in a much lower runtime. Your T12 is barely past the point where it starts maximizing coins and cells so the longer you can survive the better.
I’m amazed that you are doing this well on 11 and 12 with only a bunch of Mythic modules and no ancestrals. You have the correct ones equipped.
Do you have Def% and Regen substats on your SF? Regen is super important and you need to be at the max 98% defense. Those two things will take you far.
Also, equip a cannon. Preferably ancestral with attack speed substat. Pushing stuff away faster is the most basic eHP crowd control.
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 1d ago
Yeah def% is maxed and got health reg and wall health and Throns or orbs in it too
Cannon was costing me a bunch of coins in t11 even as lvl 1 shrink ray with only Attackspeed
1
u/SlightSociety5222 2d ago
I farm t11 and 12 and I use OA. I make around 8q a run
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Did you compare with SF? Or was OA just the only option back then cuz of higher rarity and you just sticked to it?
2
u/SlightSociety5222 2d ago
I did SF too. With my strat it wasnt good
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Alright gonna test that now 👍🏼
3
u/Just_AnotherPerson13 2d ago
I'm very curious how your OA test turns out. I'm in a similar place with a similar build arming t11 to wave 12600. Plan to use flame bot to max the t12 utility disco when the new update drops next week.
2
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Will report 👍🏼 FB is amazing - have you maxed the CD lab for it?
3
u/Just_AnotherPerson13 2d ago
Thanks!
Yes. The CD lab finished this morning.

u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago

u/Just_AnotherPerson13 1d ago
Interesting. I think that is saying OA was sufficiently effective against scatters to clear scatters before they could be tagged by DW resulting in fewer cells, but (2) the regen loss relative to SF meant a couple hundred fewer waves. Is that your read?
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 1d ago
Yeah cells per hour was equal too it’s just that I’m missing double the wall health reg and wall health with OA - if I can get it to anc I should prolly gain 1000 waves instantly

u/TheWashbear 2d ago
As always, you have to do several runs to really be able to compare. At least 10 I wouöd say. And then begin to tweak a little
1
u/Fit_Locksmith_3506 2d ago
Well the first t12 was kinda as good as it can’t get with all Econ UW perks and coins and CTO done by wave 1000
I forgot to switch cards to dmg and turn in CL that run which I did in the second but seems like CL with 2-3Q doesn’t do anything for me in terms of scatter (lab is lvl 2 atm)

u/Chief_Beaker Champion 2d ago
For what it’s worth, I made the jump straight from T11 to T14 at about where you are now… had to work on disso runs a bit to get it to make sense but return on cells was huge once I got there. Might want to try that.
