Started playing this game in May last year. Now, after 10 normal ascencions I Superascended. I chose the 3rd Slot and picked Leg AV SAC and AChacheB. The SAC will be done in 5d.
what the...? people are super asc multiple times in less than 2 weeks. how? buying a lot of powers? that's crazy.
Ivan0 is doing the Hex Earth strat, which involves using a few Inspire Merc powers on the Hex Earth map in each super-ascension. I guess that there's no need to actually buy the powers yet. There're plenty of Inspire Merc powers to grab on the maps.
I never played Hex Earth. I super-ascend every 2-3 weeks without using powers. It is achieved just simply following the market strat and getting familiar with the maps. After super-ascending for a few times, with the help of a good AP bonus from super-ascension and the insane army cache boost artifact, market strat works pretty early on. Like starting at Fort Harbor or Reconquest I already have enough mercs to clear the whole map.
