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).

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.

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.

Highlights:
* took two more dig speed increases

* gonna get clogged with epic fodder
* also need to find some new spares

50th SA. Been following this thread for ages but haven't posted before, thought I'd do it now for the milestone.

The SAs were becoming pretty monotonous, but after getting insane RCB recently things became more interesting as many maps have early resource caches that now give more armies via mercs than what they cost. Planning to get a leg/insane MD soon to boost this even more.

Some stats:
9.75x AP (+875%)
17 slots
"Optimal" SA currently would take 27.5h according to my spreadsheet (not accounting for TW usage, either power or arti), half of which is spent upgrading hospitals. In practice I take more like 2-3 days depending of how much I feel like playing. Halfway point is during CCC. I'll be going for +25% AP over +100 AP for some time still, looking to get rid of some of the hospital upgrades.

@Drinian
If you join a cw clan then you can reduce the cooldown of active artifacts to 9h each

11th SA. +25 for 125% AP and 6 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19


Could have been a few days faster if real life wasn't in my way. Fancy's CB matters significantly - though for most maps I don't need SAC to start, a few still need it to finish without drafting for hours and hours. Especially Odo and HFL.

leg A$B ACB SAC AV TW and epic HB, plus 2 rare fodder. Hoping for CB or MD or even IM next. Whatever it is will be insane fodder eventually

My first and possibly only super ascension:

Insane Army Cache Boost
Legendary Alloy Values
Legendary Supercharge Army Camp

SA 18 +1 slot
I received an epic $$B from wzib, which is now upgrading to legendary.

First time superascending, with an insane A$B, a legendary TW and, as soon as the upgrade is ready, a legendary AV.

Second SA.
+50% AP, insane AV, insane A$B.

I am slower than JK, it took me 1 year and 9 months.

I have super-ascended five more times (now 115).

Total boons:
* +1600 AP at startup (+1)
* +1600% AP from levels (+4)

Highlights:
* stopped doing regular Copper Creek Castle
* added Far Land as a temporary replacement
* that should become unnecessary in ~5 supers
* continued rebuilding mid-tier churn artifacts
* haven't decided what my next insane will be

Yaboi ChillhouzVanHoutn has reached his 33rd super ascend! 675% AP and 9 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB and LHB!

SA 19 +25% AP (200 total)
10 days is a new record, thanks to improved cache surfing.

Yesterday 12th SA. +arti for 125% AP and 7 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19 / 18


Again could have been a few days faster if I played optimally. Don't see what my next significant speedup will be. I've had to start farming SL at the end of a run so I can get to hex.

leg A$B ACB SAC AV TW and epic HB TMB TS MD. Probably the MD going up.
