Best Early (< phase 10) Strategy?

[UDcc123]

Really long runs or lots of short runs? I've made it to Prestige Tree 3, but no where close to beating phase 10 and takes a while to stack up 200+ prestige runs.

fairly certain progression is currently broken

look at my helper guidish post, the helper definitly helps once you know how to use it

Got less time in than you but everything appears to indicate fast prestiges. Seems leveling your helper and then dumping dmg bonus into it.....with the addition of the power cubes would be needed to push phase 10 but for all intensive purposes.. looks more like unlock a prestige bonus or two and prestige.

The farming of points for use in the prestige upgrades seems sensible to me. I geared my points to take me to the Mini Booser asap -- but it is not clear whether that was good strategy. The time bar thingy just aimlessly going back and forth doesn't communicate to me anything like "Hoorah for you I am working now" or whether it is not working now.

You will need the 0.2% of red cube to finally beat the phase 10.
And meanwhile you can lvl up your helpers to do the white cube challenge, and gather max attack and collect.

one thing I saw posted is using convert to turn ~100k orange cubes into the gold upgrade, which in turn gives 5 of each lesser tier cube per second, this is worth DRASTICALLY more than casual cube creation otherwise available early in the game, but requires a longer run to truly benefit from, as the slower your other sources tick, the more of the high value cubes the ability puts out per fill, and more high tiers per fill = more power/money depending on attack/collect setting
...well, I just got the upgrade, and it only gives cubes for cube power, not for actual in cube cubes...though, that does still give quite an advantage on long runs...but not nearly as OP as I was expecting it to be...well, the multipliers can build up much faster, and you can level the other abilities more too

As called out in this guide:

A good trick is to resist the urge to upgrade your white tick's speed. You do far more damage / earn far more cubes with a level slowly filled mostly with blue cubes than you do with quickly filling a lot of levels with mostly white cubes. More so if you can resist the urge to upgrade white and blue timers and instead focus on green / orange.

This makes the initial levels go by much more slowly and your Power of Cube multipliers will initially grow more slowly because you're not getting tons of white cubes, but it really pays off in getting high damage numbers and higher cube incomes hours earlier than other methods.

This is also very beneficial if you have the Samurai helper and can earn enough to buy one upgrade. The Samurai keys off of the most damage you've ever done in a single hit, and then reliably does 1% of that damage once per second (or more if you can afford more upgrades). So you are highly incentivized to do as much damage in one shot as you can so that it makes your Samurai key off of a higher number, even if that single shot takes an hour to fill up the level.
