When to do 1st Time Warp?

[alveolate]

just like every other incremental, there has to be some optimal strategy for first reset (i'm gonna avoid "ascension" cos it's long and only a clicker heroes term).

according to the achievements, my gut feeling is that 175 seems a decent point to consider first reset (for the dps boosts), but the weapons are taking longer to upgrade and it's taking quite a while just to farm enough dps to comfortably beat 125 (even with autoclicker). so it seems faster to reset at 125; but it may not be most efficient.

anyone has other suggestions? or perhaps veterans have some old forum links to share?

if it's the same as it was when it came to the web you should reset everytime you hit 100 for the first 10 times

[alveolate]

lol there goes my theory for efficiency XD

[Hapless Citizen]

use those first 10 resets to build up your gold income or anything else that helps you hit 100 faster. then eventually you can start going to the later levels and focusing on getting more time cubes /run

hmm, it's trivial for me to hit 105 for another 3 cubes. i think i should reset at 105.

also, which bosses give cubes? it seems most of them don't give anything... is it random?

[Hapless Citizen]

all bosses can drop cubes it is random, but the higher you go the more that are likely to drop after 100 that is

After you hit the boss at 100 (which always has 10TC) any boss afterwards have a 25% base chance to have a tc. this chance can be improved through a perk that costs TC. tough at first this is hardly worth it except to get it at first to get the 10% extra per drop that is right after it. untill around 200 the actual tc drops from the random cubes isn't impressive(3-9 depending on which level).


At first you will just often reset right after 100 or so and use the TC to improve the Damage and Gold perks to get through the first 100 levels at breakneck speed. and maybe a little in progress to skip the first 10 to 30 waves and improve the tc drops down the line. this is done untill you can easilly rush through up to 150.

Im at 700 cubes now and it seems like it is still more efficient to reset at 100. Starting at wave 71, it takes 3 minutes to get to 100.

Personally I resetted everytime I hit 100 as I'd get 300% more damage anyways, and the Team DPS boost works out so wonderfully to start with. I'd get up to level 10 for it and then work up the tree to Flak Cannon DPS boost and just spend the crap out of that until it costs more than 1 and then do the same for al lthe others.

You should begin to snowball at that point and beyond getting to 100 initially, it doesn't take long to do that.

Right now I'm getting to level 510, and only resetting once I fail a boss 10 times in a row, with about 1000-1500 cubes per reset.
All in only 30 hours.

Rainbow Balls are huge helps. It also helps to just aim for upgrades and promotions i find.

You could reset at 100, but that will take way longer to pull off.

Don't do the reset at 100 thing for too long though. Deeper runs pay off quite well. I usually do a run of an hour or two and current run is probably three hours because of lunch break and I'm at 590 and have 2,800 time cubes waiting. 12.8k harvested so far..

[alveolate]

yea it is important to note that waves 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 give confirmed TCs (the others are chance based).

sadly, after hitting wave 500 the game gets kinda boring. it's repetitive with no real variations, just a little bit of fun buying artifacts after each warp. i leave the game running in the background and check every 10-30mins to buy upgrades while waiting for it to hit 500, but it's really boring.

[Slimurgical (Stormy)]

Meh, I'm personally loving it even past 500. I personally don't play actively myself, since I've yet to draw something in a whole week, but I keep an eye on the window for rainbow balls.

The confirmed TCs at those waves aren't too great in number though. A bit high for the wave you get them at, but by the time you hit 500, the 60 or so you get isn't too impressive when you're rocking 1000+ of the things :D

Never before accumulating at least 20 cubes.
And each new ascension should ideally net more cubes than you originally started with. This way, even if you misspend on some unhelpful abilities, in each new run you will reach back your highest level in less time and have room to add at least 40 before needing to ascend for multipliers.

Since when is ascension a clicker heroes term? It's from cookie clicker.
