After several months in struggle, finally I have decided today I must break in top 400 leaderboard. This is not because the game is hard, but it is hard for me to get some time to play and make update for my #terracore activities.
Look.. I haven't made any update since 14 days ago. The plan was simple, to make weekly updates and upgrades, and now I just got time when the mint rate got nulled. This account won't be able to grow well if things stay like this
And my rank fell down back to #445 again. It was near #400 last week. So I think this is the time I have to put something in, can't rely everything from organic activities.
So here I add 10.000 $SCRAP to fund me make more upgrade this round, which hopefully will make this account be more competitive in top 400.
Let's see what I do here
MY UPGRADES
| STATS | Before | After | Cost in SCRAP | Reasons and Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stash Size | 2.000 | 2.000 | 0 | I see no necessity to upgrade this Stash Size. It is good at this level |
| Favor | 1.000 | 1,000 | 0 | same thing with Stash size, I see no point to develop more favor |
| Engineering | 24 | 26 | 576 + 625 | I add 2 point this time, after having no growth at all on Engineering for months. Let's hope this is a good number for a start |
| Damage | 390 | 420 | 1.521 + 1.600 +1.681 | I level up 30 point of Damage this time, I want to maintain good raid targets here. Everyone are growing on Terracore, so no damage upgrades = you are losing good targets |
| Defense | 470 | 510 | 2.209 + 2.304 + 2.401 + 2.500 | My built is still focusing on Defense, and I have no plan for a change. I upgraded 40 defense this time, 10 higher than my damage upgrade |
I just made 15.417 $SCRAP burn to make these upgrade. 2 level of Engineering, 3 level of Damage and 4 level of Defense. I believe this is the biggest upgrade I have done in a single round. So this is how I end up today:
I think this is a good built for now and I really like the composition. The most important thing today is that I finally breach into top 400:
I get onto rank #362 here, that's quite big jump there, almost 100 position. Maybe next month I could get into top 300, who knows? But I don't think it will be that simple, the higher the rank, the harder we can breach in due to heavier competition.
But it's fun to compete with other players, so let see what I would do next month.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Focus on your built. There is no right or wrong, or the best build for this game. Everything depends on how you play the game, how often you are playing Terracore, preference in mining over attacking and many more.
2. Always have your defense level higher than your engineering level. Some said it should be at least 3 level higher, but trust me... there is no absolute formula in this game, so how many level it should be higher, all depends on how you play this game
3. Do not do upgrade frenzy... always plan well, save some for next week upgrades so you won't get penalized from being idle without upgrade.
THE RUMBLE
Honestly I see not much different than the last round, let me show you the last round or the 2 week ago logs:
See, I have the same top 3 people attacking me, Nockzonk, dd100, and justopinion. I won't discuss any about rumble today, which is the same as last round, because I believe they are there due to past activites longer than 2 weeks ago.
I have not been active for two months, and during that period all the data were bad, so I believe they came from that period.
I will skip this part again, I hope I have good story to share next week about this part.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Winning the battles are great however getting more $SCRAP from battles doen't make you get more scrap in overall. There are players who lose battles badly but in daily they are making tonnes of $SCRAPS due to high engineering level. So all be back on what your goal is, winning the brawls or minting the SCRAP.
ok thats all for my 21 th Terracore update. Guard your $SCRAP guys, I might be coming to rob you!
