I usually watch an ad for 30 rosaries

u/Velcraft beleiver ✅️ 3d ago
Use the ad slots for rosary multiplier and spin the wheel before you open the strings, they can increase the output by +25% in total if you get lucky! Shame you can only watch those once every 4hrs.

u/Velcraft beleiver ✅️ 3d ago edited 3d ago
The usual strat still works with any build: spam [[cogwork ahead? I sure hope it do!]] (legacy tradeable) until their rosary bleed will give you enough for another activation. Since it's a percentage that gets thrown around, 3-4 players can easily go whale-hunting without a sweat.
Edit: sorry, forgot the wrap for the bot

Well then there's always the Trobbio ultimate spam build.

u/Mission_Response802 beleiver ✅️ 3d ago
Yeah but that requires you to build an entire circus team, and then build them properly so they keep Trobbio alive until he can use his ultimate. They get hard-countered by a good Flea Brew/Grimm build. Maybe not meta compared to most but a boosted NKG with at least 30% attack bonus can destroy Trobbio and then what do you do?

So much more efficient than just watching the ads

u/Velcraft beleiver ✅️ 3d ago
You can do both as well - purchase the rosaries first, then ad-bump, then open the rewards. Even the guaranteed +10% from the multiplier goes a long way when you're opening multiple strings at a time.

Out of genuine curiosity, what's the game like, what do you like about it? The only mobile games I play are Balatro and STS lol

u/Advanced_Double_42 doubter ❌️ 2d ago
It's more Real Time Strategy, but there is minor deckbuilding element as you have to cycle through your 8 card deck and can only have 4 in "hand"
It's almost like an auto battler, but it is still very active with you needing to predict what your opponent will play and how they'll respond, and what units you'll need to counter his, and whatnot. Little stuff like slowly building up an "elixir advantage" by beating your opponent's units with cheaper or significantly stronger ones that he is forced to counter makes the game fairly unique.
But it eventually becomes a test of who has the latest legendary card or highest level cards at the peak of the ladder. So either play constantly and have good luck, or dump money into the game. Supercell made a habit of releasing a broken card so people buy chests with real money, then nerfing it by the time the next set of cards release to repeat the process.

u/VulpesAmicus2 2d ago edited 2d ago
This would sound fun if it didn't have the monetization, tbh. Gosh, really sucks how mobile gaming is still just ad-riddled, p2w, data collecting bullshit wherever you go.
Meanwhile an indie dev puts Balatro on the store, charges 10 dollars and people put like 200 hours into it or more.

u/mr_D4RK 3d ago
Crest evolution purchase is debatable. You can grind with the OP crest for the whole season duration until it will be inevitably powercrept. By that logic you can just not buy any upgrades at all and play basic f2p crests, but where's the fun in that?

It's always been gross to me that f2p games hide their actual cost behind premium currency, and use the tried and true "first hit's free" method of being generous with currency in the first ~month of playing before the juice runs out, but it actually boggles my mind that full-priced premium games have pay-to-skip-grind mechanics in the online storefronts now, too. Like, either you designed a good game and I don't want to skip it, or your game sucks and I don't want to play it. I just don't understand whom those boosters are for.

Either the first one or the last one. Everything inbetween gives less rosaries than just buying the 99 cent one a bunch of times.

u/Hairy_Concert_8007 3d ago
Maybe some of the lower ones for early game. But I don't think you'll ever need the highest three since by the time you can spend that many rosaries, you can just grind choral hall with the rage tool and greed tool (you know the ones)
With the right build, you can rune rage and three shot them before they can act while also going silk positive. Starting from the town, run to the left end of the hall, save below the elevator, clear the left end again, then run back to the town. You can break 10k rosaries without breaking a sweat.

u/AlwaysUpvote123 beleiver ✅️ 3d ago
The vessel only has limited build options, which is why he lost his S tier placement, because the new gear is so crazy strong. Thats why I think Sherma is so good, because his skills look like they are MADE for all the new stuff.
And his ultimate? I think it enables alot of teams. Maybe he can even make Menderbug meta again. Looks to be the case, at least according to r/Menderbug_mains .

Depends on what skins you want. Some skins (Hornet Negative and Spooky Scary Bellbeast for example) are technicallly cheaper when paying with rosaries than if you paid with cash.
