How do people have such crazy high stats?

[UnlivingEnd]

Leviing in this game is slow and the equipment is all +4 at most?

Yeah? but elements are not really that much of a boost? The best one is dark matter and it's only a +4? Also enemies barely give exp. Even the hard ones.

Understood, how about flying to planet tundra. I think thats the name. It's the frozen planet. There a place on the planet that allows you to power up your armor. All my stats are over 100 from upgrading here.

For one, the best one is not Dark Matter. Dark Matter offers the highest OVERALL increase with +4 to everything.

The actual highest energy buff is from absorbing the Stars inside the black hole, which each give +6 to one stat.

But the real way people get insane stats is through the forge on Planet Tunda. You can upgrade armor there for 1,000 per upgrade, and it grants +1 to a stat of your choosing each time. There's no limit to armor upgrades.

So high-stat builds are a combination of:
Energy absorbed from Stars
High character level to absorb more energy
Armor that has been upgraded at the Tunda Forge.

If you're past the 9th day, just go to Planet Balu and play the Game of Realms for an hour or two, winning as much as you can. Rewards scale with your Realm Level, so the more you win the faster you earn and the more you earn per run. An hour or two of that and you'll have enough to hit plenty of 100s in your stats.

Absorbing stars? I must be doing it wrong then since I jumped into the sigularity and wasn't able to do anything.

Is it just me or does the armor upgrading not work anymore?

Armor upgrading? So far as I know, in the earliest versions there were armor upgrades at planet tundra but it's been changed to upgrading your energy capacity now. Unless you mean something else?

You can't upgrade armor, it's not broken, just changed to be eco capacity upgrades.

When you say singularity, do you mean the little black hole between Hara and Oracle?

If that's what you mean, you just have to hold Absorption on a star until it explodes, and as long as you have an empty eco slot, you'll absorb it.

But you'd be better off farming Kod or Third Razul, as they can drop MUCH better energies than the stars do on top of giving points for upgrading your Omni (if Kod) or True Protector (if Third Razul) forms.

personally I've just gone into the null horizon and done a few runs there, got a prime helmet with some crazy stats and even a few rarer energies.

I tried doing the same which worked fairly well. Got items with +6000 to all but two stats. Pretty neat but at some point the enemies just tank attacks with damage in the millions :D I kept throwing colossal blasts at one of the enemies, could not even read the damage numbers but the health bar only lost 1-2% each time. It gets quite ridiculous

I suggest to join the community discord for further help.

To further ⛧_ꝁᵾɍø6⛧'s comment, this is one of the items you can get from a few runs in the Null Horizon:

There's another discussion talking about wanting to wear multiple Prime items. That would be great given how powerful players can become by the time you're able to get stuff like this. Feels like it would help smooth out the progression in some parts of the game.

Not sure where that last part stands for newer players though.

It's not too bad for new players currently, I started a new game a week ago after not playing for many updates and got to Null Horizon within the week. The Finalith is one heck of a scaling challenge though, and only drops Prime gear; I can beat the 2nd level easily, but the 3rd instantly kills me. The struggle right now is finding other places to farm for gear without running the Null Horizon challenge dozens more times, but that may be one of the best bets. Interdimensional Tournament x1000 doesn't drop good gear anymore. Trying out the Prison but I'm not feeling it yet, though easy access to The Fifth energy is pretty cool.

So I just started playing this game recently and I have to say it has been taking me hours to just get to a power rating of 10k. I have gotten to the point where I can spam prisoner 3 to almost beat him but I'm in the fight for at least an hour.

It sounds like the overall conclusion is to continue playing around in the Null Horizon. Is that the correct way now to grow stats faster or is there a better way?
