Yeah, I made the insane HB because I didn't want to make an insane IM at that time (still had plenty of unclaimed IM powers).

I also didn't want to part with my legendary AV/MD/RCB for 10 days, which would cause money problems for the super. Upgrading those to insane also would not help much since I already have more than enough money at legendary. Upgrading SAC/TW would hinder battles for 10 days, so those are also out of question. Since I didn't manage to dig a cache boost at that time, the only choice left was upgrading the HB.

It is kinda of a meme upgrade for 2% additional save, but I guess every bit of caches and saves help when you want to blitz levels.

@Aimix, why wait? They're upgrading and will occupy 1 slot regardless whether upgrading Legendaries or finished as Insanes.

1) I want some rest;
2) Without ACB levels especially early levels are harder.

The Hex Earth is no more, since there is now enough +AP% to super-ascend simply by doing the hardened levels twice. Most levels don't require hospital upgrades at this point.

The goals for artifacts are getting the core legendaries (AV/MD/SAC/TW/RCB) to insane now, but that only works if I can get a matching epic from WZIB battles, because I don't want to lose the legendary during 10 days of upgrading.

For supers, it will still be taking +AP% for a while so I don't have to hardened levels twice. I also hope to do HCCC to get to phase 3, and skip over Geopolitics, Breaking Green and Far Land directly to Hardened Far Land.

Right now I'm getting less than 2 days per super, and honestly idle is starting to become not so idle at this phase.

@Pkmx, the irony of Idle is that it's not really Idle at all, it rewards you for not being idle, for doting on every action, whether it's a capture, smelting/crafting to minimize downtime, maximize efficiency, etc

23 supers: +325%AP, 12 artifact slots:

Fourth Super Ascension:

Choice: +25% AP

Have: +50% AP, Leg AV, Leg TW, Leg SAC, Leg ACB

Next: +AP unless I get an epic or two in those low prob digs.
