Get the Insane Army Cache Boost to free up slots. Work on boosting AP. Do not bother reducing dig time.

Twenty-fourth Super Ascend!

New bonus: 20% faster digs
Kept: Insane A$B, Legendary AV, TW, SAC, ACampB, CB, RCB, MD, HB, BMB, Rare MCB, SD
Bonuses: +10 slots, +300% AP, 0.8^2 dig time

The extra dig speed work as I hoped and completely cleared up the dig bottleneck I've been running up against the past few SAs. Granted, this was the easy case (1 extra Rare), but even that had been a problem in some previous SAs. The next SA will be the more difficult case (2 extra Rares), which I expect to shove along by injecting my CW artifact winnings. Hopefully by SA26 I'll be in the clear.

Speaking of digs, I managed to find an MCB, which will most likely be my next Legendary.

My BMB was upgrading (first to Epic, then to Legendary) for a good chunk of this SA, so I didn't get to use it that much. However, the Epic did feel impactful for the couple levels where I did use it, so I'll be interested to give the Legendary a whirl, especially on the earlier levels. That won't happen this SA though as it's still upgrading for another 4 days.

I substantially reduced my IM burn rate this SA (from -5 net to -1) through a combination of running Hex only twice instead of thrice (2x basically gets me to the end of P4 already) and working out a 1x IM path instead of using a 2x IM path.

Next up: 20% faster digs, Legendary MCB (next SA)

Twenty-fifth Super Ascend!

New bonus: +1 slot
Kept: Insane A$B, Legendary AV, TW, SAC, ACampB, CB, RCB, MD, HB, BMB, Epic MCB, TS, SS
Bonuses: +11 slots, +300% AP, 0.8^2 dig time

Once again the extra dig speed was very helpful in clearing up the dig bottleneck I would have had without it. I'm still not quite there yet, I got everything dug up in time, but crunching everything down into an Epic was done after hitting the AP necessary to SA. I could have fixed that with CW artifacts but I opted not to.

As I write this, my new Legendary BMB is already doing some heavy lifting on Huruey's Castle. The effect was pretty noticeable even on the later levels (reducing the time to first Market), but I expect a larger impact on the early levels. Time will tell.

I don't have any candidates for next Legendary (after MCB) yet. Depending on how that search goes it may be time to make another Insane.

Also, I lied last time, I forgot I would need another slot this time, so no dig bonus this time around.

Next up: 20% faster digs, Legendary MCB (this SA)

I have super-ascended a twenty-second time.

5th super. +100% insane av, legendary sac (upgrading), green tw Took one month since last super. 3 weeks to get the ap and one week to finish digging - bad luck on epic digs and didn’t get one a$b in the month Would rather spend a week with high idle time chilling than spend a cycle on faster digs

Twenty-sixth Super Ascend!

New bonus: 20% faster digs
Kept: Insane A$B, Legendary AV, TW, SAC, ACampB, CB, RCB, MD, HB, BMB, MCB, Rare MB, IM
Bonuses: +11 slots, +300% AP, 0.8^3 dig time

I had tons of dig buffer this time around, unfortunately, I didn't turn up any good candidates for a next Legendary.

The Legendary BMB did make a quite measurable difference, so I think that one is a keeper.

The Legendary MCB is still cooking, but the Epic felt pretty weak. I think that is destined to be fodder that I won't bother replacing any time soon.

Otherwise, a pretty unremarkable SA.

Next up: TBD

15 supers: +200%AP, 9 artifact slots:



P.S. As you see Didn't made HCCC because it wasn't needed in this SA and I also depleted Hex IM powers :( (I think I'll run out of SL soon).

1st super ascend

3 artifacts

epic army camp boost upgrading with 4d23h remaining
legendary supercharge army camp
insane time warp with 10h cooldown

Forgot to check when I first played before ascending.

Based on past games, I started playing QM at 2021-06-26 17:17:14 (UTC+2?). That must be idle arena.
Last classic game before that was at 2020-03-03 14:41:51.

So I super ascended after 3 years 2 months 2 weeks. I didnt play for a few months In the middle.

My play was sometimes intense micromanagement, sometimes dont care let time run let auto work. More of the latter in the last year.

Finally, Ivan has gone silent... does the dragon rest now that there is nothing left to accomplish?

I still watch this thread

Surely there is something left to accomplish ivan

"Surely there is something left to accomplish ivan "

I guess there is also classic single player, get all them gold stars.
Top each of the ladders.

After that, and all the doable achievements, there is only classic.
