Help with the general

[osimusik]

I used a magic mask to learn any skill, upgraded the general and played on it for the rest of the shard (5 shards of 1 galaxy), moving on to the next one, I remained a general without wax, skills, damage and experience and now I can't gain the right amount of experience and oil for the ritual and now I can't continue playing because this

ты можешь прокачать способность генерала даже если не вкачал ветку силы просто при 1 sp кликни на способность и сможешь изучить и стать обычным персонажем.

You get oil by harvesting the plants.

Or you can leave the shard and start it anew. This should clear the general.

a little bit offtopic: does anyone really use the general? the beatle seems to bad too but a lil bit faster. wolf or no wolf with int just seems always to be faster and stronger.

I use the general.
Currently at 23rd galaxy.

I like it for a quick start on a new shard.
I have golden umbrella level 6 and +3 starting SP from store.
I use Warrior Seal II (+5 discount on Str, no drawback)
I have +1 Str and +1 discount on Str from Dragon singularity sign.
All this his lets me take Rage of Darkness, Greed, Mask of Fire right away.
Then I go for 4 ranks in Monumentality (You can take 4 ranks without penalty thanks to a singularity sign).
Then March, Magic Amplification, Fire Sword, Smithing, Indefatigability.

Mechanics skill line has some good stuff
You have tools to build around shields (Neuro, Plating, Overload).
Dematerialization is very strong, if you manage to get there (Clockwork Shard or Mask of the Third Eye, usually. Or a lot of SP).
Blazing Core affects all fire skills. High Voltage affects Thinder.
Condenser is nice, as there's nowhere else to spend oil anyway (Calibration doesn't help with a base cost 1 weapon, drones are weak, everything else is out of reach most of the time)

I have played the game alot.... I only started using general when i had enough +1 sp per level do do at any shard. Up until then with the "third eye" magic mask u mention i got the wolf form and was boosting souls speed with wolf tree. Damage + Critical + poison soul (singularity upgrade) was the best use of that mask in early galaxies.

U should join the discord, where people help out with BUILDS etc.

its super nice you made that response. thanks a lot!
i watched two videos in the meantime of general and wolf endgame builds because two rather seasoned players argued about that. but i have no clue how much they grinded cause their equip plus the premium shop was kinda crazy to me. one used the umbrella bug... i mean feature! it was even more off cause the candle sign twisted me even more cause i have no experience with that. still the wolf seemed like 40% faster and it looked it wasnt as farmed as the general.

i still dont know if i really like this game even tho i have thousands of hours in it...
no clue how many galaxies i have but i unlocked red phantoms a week ago for reference. our other starting conditions seem to be quite similar. when i experimented with the general it just seemed too slow just movement speed related.
and of course shards can change a lot but its kind of nieche and i could just see me doing general when i have clockwerk in the first two shards.

i thought about using discord in general or this communities discord again. but im also weird. idles/this game are grindy and i like min maxing often. but i usually dont like cheating/autoclicker/macros. but somehow two umbrellas are fine for me in this case but safe loading chests wasnt.

there was a time i used third eye some times. now in the beginning i use fire mask or when i go super idle with flex. the wind mask later on. maybe if id do white tunnel to farm souls the balance shifts but now wind just seems to trump everything by far.

ill still think about it joining! ;D

Wolf is faster, but you can't restart March in wolf form, and you can't switch to human and back quickly, due to skill cooldown. This makes wolf less convenient for idle play,
