I am just curious.
when everyone else talk about insane time warp is best artifact.
Ivan DO NOT have one.
How he accomplish all those super?

Time Warp beyond 2 hours doesn’t help a hardcore player finish levels that much quicker. Two hours is nice because you still need hospital upgrades early in a super ascension but think about what else you get:

1. A negligible amount of money (Ivan has Insane Alloy Values, Insane Cache Boost)

2. Some armies

3. A negligible amount of digging (Ivan gets two Epics every super ascension or about 0.7 Epics every day. Six hours of digging is what, a common?)

#2 is an interesting one that is worth discussing here but my guess is that other artifacts make better use of the slot in terms of armies than TW

Keep in mind you usually have three slots when you have +600% AP because Scandi is so late in the game

I have an insane time warp as my first insane. Nowadays that biggest use of my insane time warp is reducing the cooldown of my legendary supercharge army camp lol

The insane time warp was very useful during my first few super-ascension when I was aiming for one legendary per super-ascension. Not so useful anymore.

@TheGreatLeon

You mentioned: "Ivan gets two Epics every super ascension".

One epic TS from CCC, and the second one?

I'd presume from winning 1 wzib

35th super +575%ap, 14 slots

Built up enough Inspire mercenaries to run Hardened Europe huge, probably knocked off half a day.

36th super +600%ap, 14 slots

gasps !
no time warp ?
will the TW artifact become obsolete later on ?
or do you just not like it

TW is good for digging, but when you SAsc every 3d and get 2 epics per run, digging becomes more and more useless

If you super ascend every 3 days, you need to calculate with rather 2h per map than 11h. This in general makes passive artifacts better suited than actives as a cooldown of 11h or even 16h means you can anyways use it only every 5-8 maps at most...

And you will have only 3 slots for most of the time, and SAC and TW would block 2. So you cannot combine insane ACacheB and insane CacheB, for instance...

37th super +600%ap, 15 slots

Why Slot for com SS? Also wow, you alr have enough for another insane. Ins MCB soon?

Next super will have 3 Rare + 4 Epic + 5 Legendary + 4 Insane =16slots, so to not throw away a rare I needed a slot this time and next time. Also I want to enjoy the Legos for a little while, before squishing them. With one more slot in four supers, I can build up to 8 Legos before squishing. Not sure what insane I'll go for.

38th super +600%ap, 16 slots

At this point the speed at which I do a super is very dependent on how much I sleep.

28th super +400%ap, 14 slots



Took a 1-week break from idle to regain sanity.

Did it work though?

For you super-hyper-mega-giga-ascenders (20+ Sasc) how long does it usually take you to get to hex earth?

Back when I could get to hex earth, it took me about 4 days. My last hex run was on my 24th Super Ascension. I'm out of skip level powers so I can't get to it easily now.

Shouldn't one of the other maps be possible with your artifacts?
