ante 11 is difficult
the jump from a few hundred thousands to 7 million small blind is quite a challenge, i feel like antes 8-10 are basically a break for us to reach ante 11 breakpoints but it seems like if you dont have godlike luck with your build its gonna be hard to reach that

I agree, my build was like just good enough to beat the game so I continued, and the blinds were RIDICULOUS.

Yeah, I'm confused as to why Ante 10 to 11 it such a massive jump? I have yet to make it to Ante 12 with 70 hours in this game.

The run is "over" after 8 antes. Everything after that is a victory lap, trying to push things as far as possible. If they didn't scale at the rate they do, runs would take hundreds of antes to end and it would be extremely easy to assemble the necessary tools to beat those hundreds of antes.

You know how the more money you have the easier it is to make more money with less effort? That's the scoring logic here.

The scoring system of this game is based on multipliers that can snowball quite easily and trivialize the orders of magnitude, like an ARPG.

Using a base multiplier of two numbers, from Hundreds to Tens of Thousands, you need about about 7 additional modifications to those numbers. By the time you get to Millions, you only need like 6 multipliers to make it to 50 million. Afterwards, you can easily snowball into billions.

It is difficult to put that built in few Antes after 8, but if they give you one or more Antes, you could set up things to get almost infinite scores. That is why the Voucher that returns you to a prior Ante takes away a Hand. If it didn't, you could set this up.

ante 11 is kind of a "DPS" check for bigger league scores. You'll find you were closer than you thought to getting those scores with more runs.

ive only made it unseeded to ante 13, medium blind. the jump from 300m to like 80billion is CRAZY. ive yet to get the E11 score unseeded. my highest is 57 billion in one hand. with bloodstone, blueprint, and some glass kings.

Can't be any closer than that to your e11 goal. A red seal on one glass card and that was it.

And I hope you're using the plasma deck when aiming for high scores in endless.

You'll get there! :gros_michel:
