[SOLVED] Leeroy Jenkins faster but legit way to get him?

[Ves]

Ok, so I've read a lot of posts here, in reddit, also guides on Astats but I am not sure if there is a legit way to speed things up with this Leeroy guy. I mean, this will probably be my last CH achievement. Already burried 136 mercs and got 5 more, none of which is Leeroy. On average till people get to 140 burried mercs like 50% or so of them already got at least 1 Leeroy. However some people aren't so lucky... I even saw someone with 60-ish burried mercs, 3 of which were Leeroy...

Anyways, do you think I can dismiss 2 mercs then assaign 2 of my remaining mercs to recruit 2 more, then use 8 hour timelapse for 10 rubies and get Leeroy faster this way? At the end of my transcension I get like 90% chance of double rubies so farming them is fairly easy now and I won't need to buy autoclickers after I am done with 30k zone and 500 AS. I know there has been an event last Xmas and many people got Leeroy then but sadly I started playing the game again just 2-3 weeks ago.. I also know about the steam Leeroy Jenkins guide which uses that merc calculator but not interested in using such tricks.

Last but not least, if nothing works on average a merc lives for 4,5 days which means I have a 0,5% chance of getting Leeroy once a day since there are 5 merc slots. That's not really promising. :(

Seems like dismissing mercs works. You get a new one just not +1 burried merc. However the bad news is that I used that merc calculator and I will get Leeroy in 359 mercs which means he will be my 550th or so.......

You've pretty much answered your own question in the second paragraph. The only issue would be that your dismissed mercs won't go towards any "xx number of mercs buried" achieves if you have any remaining in-game.

Well, I am not so sure about that since dismissing merc isn't the same as burrying one. I mean, the said calculator shows when you will get Leeroy when you bury x mercs so I might just waste my rubies in attempts to get him without doing anything. I'd rather spam 8 hour timelapses till a merc dies then recruit a new one.

Still looking for help. This is now the last Steam achievement I need. 145 mercs burried, 5 more which aren't Leeroy.

So if I'm correct, if I put my save file in this calculator: https://jsfiddle.net/A45327Eq/vruwmyao/embedded/result/

And increase the number of recruits to say 50, does that mean that if there is a * next to one of the numbers I get Leeroy?

Mhm. I thought I didn't find the right calculator as I put 100, then 200, 300, 400 and there was no * at all. Scary stuff. :D

Edit: If you hover over the * merc it even says Leeroy Jenkins. You can use CTRL + F and type * to see if there's a LJ on the list instead of manually checking.
