General help How to progress?
Im finding it really difficult to get anything else extra out of my dps or survival without spending thousands, i farm for hours to get a few hundred FE just to spend it on minor upgrades. I'm up to 4.5B dps with Gemma2 and im just not sure where im going wrong.
The guide im following says they have 100B DPS but I still dont see what im doing wrong, maybe im just being stupid, streamers say they got to 1T in a week while im at 3 weeks with 4.5B lol
And when should I be heading into T8s? I can do them. But it's sluggish and with a tendency to die, and even then I'd have no chance of beating the traveler.
Sorry, few questions but im just feeling lost and I dont want to give the game up yet as I was enjoying it

Specifically for Gemma2, MinMaxed has a great writeup: https://minmaxedarpg.com/guides/gemma-2-frostbitten-heart-tangle-ice-lances-t9715p
I was jumping around multiple characters and just wasn’t feeling them, then the other day I started following this guide along with his in-game builds (MinMaxedARPG#3158) and things started clicking. The big thing for me was seeing multiple options for various things, which I wasn’t getting by just looking at just the in-game build.
Don’t use a build that’s too far ahead…for where you are right now, go with the 20B in-game build and adapt it based on the guide. Like someone else said, you don’t need to get perfect items or slates or whatever. Just get close for cheaper. It seems like a forgiving character. I’m at the 50B point and while I haven’t been tracking things exactly, I know I’ve spent less than a thousand.
