AP boost means very few levels need 2 SACs now and only one needs 3. Looking forward to that being none of them in a few supers when I make an IA$B

You must be doing something very different from what I was doing for SA10. Looking back at my notes, at that point I had almost completely eliminated any need for SAC. Even the most persistently annoying level (Breaking Green) was down to a single SAC for me. HPelo, Geopolitics, CCC and HFL (first pass only) were also 1x SAC, everything else was 0x SAC.

You have more +%AP than I did, although you're missing a CB, and your HB is only Epic. https://www.warzone.com/Forum/589522-superascension-leaderboard?Offset=1177 is my SA10 post.

CB probably helps, and I made the HB from nothing late in the run, didn't even swap it in a single time this super.

I guess I don't "need" the first use of SAC to beat levels, as I could just wait longer for camps to get to that first market. This will be the first run with my ACB fully functional as well, and I skipped using SAC on a couple levels already. I'm sure there will be a crossover point at which the slot on cooldown isn't worth it compared to passive artifacts, but I don't know where that is.

Currently needing SAC after market strategy on KPX-breaking green + HFL + EH. Need it twice for odo nobunaga since I run out of armies hard (though that was before the ACB finished upgrading).

That's what the CRA (Clan Request Armies) is for, it's the perfect bridge to the first market and doesn't chew up a slot that you can use for CB (together with HB and usually A$B). Waiting to use a SAC for every single level is glacially slow and chewing up a slot is very annoying once you have decent HB + A$B + CB.

Worse, it eats two slots. One for SAC and one for TW to make sure I can use SAC three times a day. Yeah so far I'm skipping about a third of the beginning-of-level SACs.

I may need a more active clan to rely on CRA that much.

Chewing up two slots would definitely have a big negative impact.

For what it's worth, TLA is a great clan for Idle. CRAs rarely linger for long.
