Meow!
Here we are! Second super ascension!! Trying to reach scape velocity out of the gravity of the game!

time: 1 month 8 days

artifacts:
leg AV
leg A$B
leg TW
leg SAC (new)

bonus chosen: +1 artifact

will eventually upload a image as proof! stay tuned!

Nice job that's pretty close to your month goal!

Haven’t posted in a while, but I’m currently grinding through my 14th SA.
AP Bonus: 175%
Slots chosen: 6

Artifacts carried over:
• Legendary: ACM, A$B, TW, AV, QS
• Epic: SAC, TS, HB

Goals for this SA will be either:
1.Upgrade A$B to Insane after replacing the other 4 Legendaries with relevant Epics; or
2.Upgrade Epic SAC to Legendary after farming 2 new Epics this SA.

After 13 SAs, I’ve learned that farming the exact artifact I want is ridiculously tough, so goal #1 isn’t super realistic.
I’ll most likely go for goal #2, but I’m really curious to see how far that 64% additional army cache boost can push me—especially since my IM power source is depleted in my usual SA cycle, causing a noticeable slowdown at the start.

I'm re-trying hardened Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, and maybe cycle through hardened-levels and normal Ascend for trying them over and over again, which will be a slow grind, but seems like the only way until I get 1 IM from spins to try 3 IM HEX clear.

Until last SA my cycle always included one 3IM HEX clear as a shortcut to Phase 4 upgrade (meaning 3 IM usage for HEX only for every SA). Right now, I've just cleared EH with CSL at level 7 that I can open my paths to HEX if I Super Skip Level, but I’m down to just 2 IMs and can’t even attempt HEX at the moment with only a Legendary A$B.

When I looked up 2 IM clearing walkthroughs on the forum, most of them seemed to rely on having an Insane A$B, which is another reason I’m considering upgrading to IA$B as soon as possible during this SA.
Is there any guide on 2IM HEX clear with just a Legendary A$B? I will really appreciate any tips or links that can help me at this point.

SA #12 +1 slot
10 slots and +125%

you can earn one IM power from playing wzib. This one is can be earned again each time you SA.

edit: I also use 3 IMs per HEX (6 per SA) but I usually spin most of them back with the coin wheel.

I'm under the impression it can be done with a legendary, provided you SAC at the beginning and upgrade hospitals. I finally have a legendary so I can try it (in a couple weeks) and report back.

@ panieri / At current progress without Phase 4 upgrade, it's quite difficult to score top ranking in wzib so only hope I can wish for is through spins I guess.

@ shadowhawk / Hope that works and pls let me know if you succeed :) I tried Evan0 s 2IM route before with Legendary ACB A$B TW Epic HB SAC but got stuck at some point and failed miserably, which made me waste my precious IM 😢

2x IM clears for Hex are very accessible, even a Legendary A$B is tons. I switched to those after maybe two or three 3x IM Hex clears at most. If your artifacts are weak (MD, MCB, CB), you may need a few drafts and/or a CRA to get to the Eastern Paraguay money cache, from there it plays the same as the 3x IM Hex. 100% ICM is probably mandatory, which you might not otherwise have.

It's the 1x IM Hex path that's more difficult and needs some thrust via better artifact support. 0.48 IM (ie, a Legendary IM) Hex paths are also viable if you're careful and have strong artifact support (and probably require late P4).

Once I had a Legendary IM, I would do a 1x IM Hex and then a 0.48 IM Hex, then HCCC and done.

I've already been doing 0 IM Hex since 3rd super ascension. It just takes about a month of army camp waiting :)

Thank you, fancypants. Seems like your method is similar to that of Ivan0 s guide. (https://www.warzone.com/Forum/688408-hex-routes) Guess I will try again with this method and see if I can pull this off.

I have decided to stop doing the 3200bp grind for the rare artifact.
With dig speedups and my current rare stockpile it should be okay.

325 SA: +2300%AP, 37 artifact slots, +19700AP, 1 dig speed

Important announcement:
I have decided to pump artifact slots to 40 then spam dig speeds to collect remaining insanes while doing remaining post-SA level tech runs.

I have super-ascended a ninetieth time.

The x1 IM on HEX is accessible @125% AP without phase 4, but Leg A$B, Rare SAC, x5 FC, clan request and good coordination are necessary.

@awaythro I see you're picking dig speed like I did. I had no choice but to pick that route, if you can avoid it, do so, it's horrible and you get around 1/4 of the expected value.

I only want enough so that I can get enough artifact bulk from digging to replace the rare that I used to get from grinding to 3200bp. Napkin math suggests six dig speedup boons will suffice at my current play speed, and I'm almost there now.

@ swchanghee I screwed up my first hex by going for the eastern sakha money cache before the central sakha army cache. Had to use a third IM on snow to save the run. Thus my second hex had 20% hospitals, but the score screen told me I saved 3.7T from hospitals while I had 1.2T armies left over so that didn't make a difference.

That qualifier out of the way you can indeed take hex on with only a legendary A$B and no tier 4 advancements. I use Ivan0's path but use a legendary SAC to start to avoid blowing a bunch of powers or relying on CRA, with about 200% camp improvements but that's overkill. I also didn't bother triple striking vyazempsky.

Something that might be an issue is you should be sure to capture Australia manually because you will need that money to buy mercs at the end.
