As that was literally no faster than the last one, I think I need some core artifacts before bringing my %AP any higher. So bringing EA$B along with my LAV and LSAC.That will probably help with drafting midgame. Maybe try and get a HB or TW for the next arti? I think I'm arti only until I get the A$B to L

A good A$B really helps a lot, but so does more AM. You need quite a lot of SAs under your belt until you can be rid of drafting at the end of levels. HB is the other critical artifact, although since a Rare is perfectly fine, you can mostly get away with just digging a new one each SA until you have room to drag one along (although sometimes RNG will stab you in the back).

The AP vs slot debate in early SAs is always tough though. You really want both.

Congratulations Aimix for 100 supers!

@ShadowHawk
It's no getting faster because you didn't take advantage of the added AP to change your route and skip the most time consuming levels. With 75%AP + 23% from the CW rewards, on your way to Hex you should be able to comfortably skip: Hard Siege, Hard Copper Creek, Asia Density, Africa, Australia, Netherlands, China, Hard China, Afro-Eurasia, Trisk, Hard Trisk, USA, Hard Europe.
You'll need to replay some quick Hardened levels though, but it's faster and more AP efficient. As you accumulate more +25%AP, you'll skip replaying levels as well.

I have super-ascended a sixty-seventh time.

Third super. Artifact slot
Leg AV, SAC, TW, ACB, TS

Only took me two months.

Thanks fancy pants I'll think about HB vs TW as my artifact this time.

geforce, I save the hards until I get up to USA or I find I don't have enough mercs. Is the threshold for enough mercs only another 50% AP? I do already skip hard China, trisk, hard trisk, hard Europe, and have resolved to skip USA this time. I find Australia to be faster than anything near it. hard RFRE is about as fast as replaying the 2 previous hard at this point.

Should I stop artifacts for 2 supers in order to get to 100% AP? Advice appreciated.

What's your current arti setup and AP%?

HRome is much easier than HScandi. It's much more generous with money and also has lower AM requirements. The main catch is you need to figure out the cache surf at the beginning, but once you have that it's also faster than HScandi.

HOT on the other hand is exceptionally easy, much easier than OT (substantially lower AM requirement). It is a little tight on money though (needs full IASV and MD).

@ShadowHawk
At your level, I used to play HFL, HOT, HS and HRF right away, the hardest one is HFL (for lack of APs). You need to use powers to speed up your progress, if you spend them well there is more than enough to go all the way to 100 supers and well beyond.
At +75% AP with Leg. AV, Leg SAC, Leg A$B, I solved HFL like this:

Phase 1
Increased Army 80%
Joint Strike Maxed (25%)
Additional Mercenaries 65%
Phase 2
Increased Alloy Value 40%
CW rewards: 15% AV, 15% MD, 15% AC, 23% AP

Gislic L9, SACp+request to market 1, get until market 4 and the 6 hospitals you can upgrade. HU1, load all mortars and shoot twice.
Midway through HU1, SACarti to Vablow L13, collect drafts.
Get last hospital and market, raid for Silver+Alu with all smelters, mine techs and Shadambuzzler L5+Gaspo L11. HU2 + all merc camps except 3 biggest ones, empty draft pool, shoot all mortars twice again.
Clear the level with caches first, buy all mercs, upgrade Vablow.

I noticed you have the same setup except your A$B is only Epic. This will leave you with 5B armies less. If your mortars shoot above 50%, you should be good, otherwise you'll need to take some more drafts at the end. HU3 will only save you 2.1B at best, so be mindful that emptying your draft is the faster option. Your mileage may vary slightly depending on the routes you take.

It's a bit of a pain, but from that point forward everything becomes way easier (and faster) if you spend your AP wisely.
Have fun!
