How challenge 9 is supposed to work ?

[Grabazu]

I'did that challenge a lot and it is write on it that it is supposed to double the infinity gain, but for example, before I win 1000 infinity and after I still win the same amount, so what the challenge 9 is supposed to double, I don't understand...

First off, make sure you're not confusing Infinities with Infinity Points. That challenge did exactly what it said last time I checked, but it's quite difficult to check if it still does the same now that the number of infinities I earn per second need a scientific exponent.

Edit: Also, even if you do mean Infinities, the challenge doesn't work retroactively. It won't turn 1000 infinities you have right now into 2000 infinities, it will just let you earn double the infinities.

Ok so I meant infinity points, but I also checked the Infinity count and what I win every completion of infinity is not doubled. I only win 2 infinity for every completion. Do we win the challenge award only the first time we complete it ? Because if it is the case, what is the point to do it again after completed it one time ?

I'll make an educated guess and say you were only "winning" 1 infinity per infinity before. I haven't been in school for a couple decades now, but I'm pretty sure 1x2 is still 2.

The point of doing challenges again is to decrease their completion time so the bonuses you get from certain upgrades increase. Challenges can go as low as 50ms, probably lower but I haven't seen that myself.

No need to be sarcastic, I also guess that I get the award at least one time since I win 2 infinity for each completion, so my first question had a answer since the challenge multiply the infinity gain and not the infinity point gain. But I thought we get the award every time we complete the challenge and that was not clear because I didn't saw any change for every chanllenge completion despite the fact that the completion notification confirm that I won something.

The maximum IP increase from the challenges is x10 (1 base + 1 for each challenge). This does not increase no matter how many times you do the challenges.

The reason to do the challenges more than once is to get the total time reduced since some upgrades base their bonus on the challenge completion time (lower is better) such as upgrades 15:3-4, 16:3, and 17:2.

Having low total challenge times allows for much better IP gains with broken infinity, not due to repeating the challenges, but due to faster challenge times which boost the upgrades.
