I've finished my 2nd SA now and I'm preparing for my 3rd. I think we need 6 months for each reincarnation If you look here, I'd like to ask for tips from people who do it incredibly fast.

Current +25%, 1 slot
I have 3 artifact now
legendary av, md, a$b

What is best for me? the 3rd reward.

My order of preferences for artifacts is something like:

S tier
These should be your top priorities, and you should be willing to sacrifice anything else below to achieve those.

• Legendary Alloy Values: This is the top priority of everything since it allows you to do market strategy effectively. Don't make it insane yet.
  
• Rare Hospital Boost: Save armies; it is fairly easy to get. Don't upgrade over rare since it only provides marginal benefits.
  
• Insane Army Cache Boost: Who doesn't like lots of free armies?
  

A+ tier
Very useful, always try to keep those around. These are also prime candidates to upgrade to insane after S-tier is completed.

• Army Camp Boost: Very helpful during the early stages so you can get to the markets faster.
  
• Cache Boost: A worse version of army cache boost.
  

A tier
Useful, but not as good as A+ as those are more situational, unlike A+ tier artifacts that are useful throughout the whole game.

• Supercharge Army Camp: For battles and has synergy with clan requests and free cache powers.
  
• Time Wrap: For battles and skipping hospital upgrades.
  
• Mercenary Discount: This saves a decent amount of money on some levels.
  

B tier
A bit less good and even more situational than tier A.

• Resource Cache Boost: More money during early levels and help you get some techs faster.
  
• Tech Discount: Help you get techs faster.
  
• Speedy Crafters: Reduce the wait time for crafting on some levels.
  
• Money Cache Boost: More money, but more useful for later levels, but generally worse than RCB.
  

C tier
I would try to keep those when combining fodders, but the benefits are quite marginal.

• Draft Boost
  
• Army Camp Discount
  
• Mine Boost
  
• Bonus Money Boost
  
• Territory Money Boost
  
• Ore Values
  
• Item Values
  
• Speedy Smelters
  
• Hospital Discount
  

Honorable Mentions
These are quite specific if you want to target Hex and post-super levels.

• Triple/Quadruple Strike
  
• Inspire Mercenaries
  

D tier
Everything else except...

Meme tier
Why do those even exist?

• Fog Buster
  
• Field Hospital
  
• Discount Army Camp/Mine/Hospital
  

Thank you. I was thinking between Army Camp Boost and Supercharge Army Camp, but is ACB a bit more beneficial for early growth? Also... Could SAC be a bit negative because of the cooldown?

In order to solve the terrible clear time (it takes several days in the early maps) after SA soon and until the early growth, is ACB the solution?

Edited 1/30/2025 13:19:51

It depends. Is it slow to get to the first market, or are you running out of armies after buying all mercenaries?

For the first case, ACampB will help, but I think it is better to just use SAC+FC power to jump-start a level. Believe me you will have a surplus of those powers in the future, so better use it when they are the most useful.

AcacheB just gives you free armies that you can't obtain otherwise and that is always useful in all stages.

Edited 1/30/2025 14:26:33

Thanks! I'll should choose leg SAC instead of ACB!

More than epic for SAC is seldom needed.

But your choice.
I also selected stuff others did not.

16th super for Chillhouz. 25% AP.

Total: 300% AP, IAV, IM, IACB, IA$B, ITW, I$B, ISAC

@dongpa. No I meant you could just use SAC powers and FC powers. In your case I'd pick ACampB over SAC.

@PkmX
haha thanks. than I'll choose leg ACB. that's better for me

I guess I should “proclaim” here that I super ascended for my first time? Do y’all still actually record first timers? Anyway… happy to have made it! (I took with me my legendary AV and an epic SAC), and chose the 100AP perk.

(I super ascended in Nov 2024 actually). It then took me until Jan 30, 2025 to make my first “post super ascension- ascension”

Edited 1/31/2025 06:16:29

Wait, someone actually took the +100 AP as their first super ascension boost?

Almost forgot to post here.

This series achieved the first sub-1day super ascension for me, and most supers are hovering at a bit more than 24 hours depending on much time I can play.

For artifacts, I'm hoping to upgrade either SAC or TW to insane next, but so far the RNG hasn't gifted me with a corresponding epic, so maybe the next will be money cache boost.

I will probably start taking +100AP at around 100th super. My analysis is that +25% AP vs +100 AP basically boils down to whether you want to optimize the gameplay before or after Feldmere. The accumulated AP from tutorial to finishing Feldmere is 485.14 AP, which means +25% AP of that (121.285AP) starts to tips over the +100AP you get.

By 100th super, I should be able to get 150% additional mercenaries by the time I reach HCCC, and getting more +25% AP won't help much since the next way to get more armies directly is in phase 4.

Interestingly, the hardest levels turn out to be Final Earth and Siege of Feldmere, both of which still don't have enough army for me after draining all caches/mercenaries/drafts.
