What do you do with your ad points?

[Shaduwwulf]

I've always just done lucky draws, but recently I've been saving all my ad points(up to 420 right now), and been thinking that the next time I do a push on max P.Baal killed that I can use all of them at once on physical and defense, figure if I have 1k ad points I could probably move up 5 or so baals, maybe more(i'm far to lazy to do the math, lol).

But it got me to wondering what other people tend to use their ad points, and when you use them if you don't just get extra lucky draws.

1k would be 10k%, so 5k% on each.
Without UBC/UAC, each p baal is 100 times stronger than the first so you would get 1.5 more p baals with that.
With full UBC/UAC, they are 50 times stronger so you would get a bit more than 2 p baals with that.

Significantly less than you expeced but not nothing either I guess.


I don't get ad points since I don't have an android but I would be using it for divinity or creation speed if I had them.

That is a bit wrong, they multiply with each other. So 1k on one stat would be 1.1^1000, so 2.4e+41%
That said, it is capped at around 5.8 billion% per stat, so you can only spend around 260 ad points per stat, or 780 ad points if you use that all 4 stats option to the limit. With maxed UBCs, that is about 5.5 P.Baals. And you probably can do that with 520 ad points if you only boost your mystic and creation (after RTI) or physical (before RTI).

Oh, thanks so much for the clarification on the stat modifier for ad points, pretty cool to see my rough estimate was a decent guess, even better to hear that it would only take 520 ad points, seems like as long as I had max rebirth multiplier for each additional P.baal killed, I'd probably end up being able to push another few past that with the other half of my ad points(assuming my theoretical ad points were at 1,040), so definitely seems like it could be worth it.

I'm currently going through some challenges to boost my strength in other areas, so it'll be a while before I push, but the last P.Baal I managed to kill was 56 I believe, so by the time I get back to it in a few months, 65 will be my initial goal, and with ad points I might be able to push to 77 and get the Lucky Coin pet :).

Still curious to see what other people spend it on. @Fel why creation? Divinity I can understand, especially for any challenge involving a double rebirth, that push for enough divinity for the generator on first reset is still a bit tough(but more than doable) for me, even with 5mil clones(which I know is a pittance to many), so making it easier to get it without spending god points is certainly a solid option, but I don't understand creation? I'm probably not nearly far enough for it to be of use I imagine(unless it stacks with godly liquid v1 and v2, in which case I can see it being a bit more useful even at my stage of the game).

[Fel]

It's mainly because near the end of a rebirth I like to make sure I am using as much divinity as possible manually creating universes.
Buying things up to suns but manually creating from there with high CC means a lot more universes can be made, meaning a higher rebirth multiplier from black hole upgrades as well.

I often use the godly liquid v1 for that but the ad points give 300% instead of 200% and it should stack too for an even greater effect.

I seem to recall this is how I used my ad points. Particularly in UBC so I suppose I would use them in PGC as well.

I think people mostly save them up for challenges.
The creation speed boost is good for NDCs, DNDC and such, the stat bonuses are good for NRC type challenges or DBC. Divinity buys are good for other challenges, too, but people mostly use GP for that. GP is a bit easier to get than ad points, although, in UBC Type challenges where the GP is not that easy to come by it helps.
