Serenity Boost Setup

[[GG]Elmer]

Hey guys
I did a search for this topic and didnt see anything very clear on how to set up this. I was wondering how do people who have or use this set this up. What Mods are you using and what Shards are using.
Thank You

job of the boost aura? for boosting other towers. it best to use deadly strike/boost /destruction/crit damage shards with power/range/crit dmg mods

The only time I use them is on Lost Temple when lanes are stacked and I have nothing else to build. It does offer a massive tower buff, but I don't think its necessary. This is based on playing around floor 120. It is possible that the boost it provides is a must have for very high floors.

If you intend to use it to buff towers, Diverse CD and Diverse Power are both must haves on the tower, and for the third slot I would recommend a Power Servo. Destruction, Vampiric Empowerment, and Boosted Power for shards.

If you intend to use it to CC lanes, you want to build around Rippling Explosions, Boosted Grasp, and Deadly Strikes for shards. For mods you'd want to aim for Defense Range, and Drain Aura.

TL;DR: Diverse Power, Diverse CD, Critical Damage | Destructive Pylon, (Mass) Destruction, Boosted Power. It will easily improve the damage from your towers by 50% or so, making it absolutely invaluable if you can use it right.

You *can* replace Boosted Power with Deadly Strikes, which will put Destructive Pylon and BA at roughly the same radius, but it's better to work around the low base radius in order to avoid wasting a shard slot.

Only use it as boost. Never for the damage or the CC:
— The slow is useless against 'Zerks, so it's not worth to specialize a *40 DU* defense that does nothing else than that. Use Proton Beams or something like that if you really need to slow something down. (Most likely: bosses.)
— The DPS from the damage setup is pathetic.

Glad a top lvl stepped in and told it how it is, thx.

But it is pretty funny to stop a lane with nothing but Boost Auras when you are farming lower tiers.

1,2,3 tiers they work very well. When you have your beginner cluisters
