The Realms section needs some serious tuning. It's needlessly grindy (even for a grindy idle game) and prone to getting gut punched by bad rng. There's nothing fun about spending 50 minutes slogging thru a level to get blocked from the last node by terrain you can do nothing about.
Sheild and Screamer nodes need to be dialed back, if not in potency than at least in frequency, they're way too common. I finished 4 realms out of 8 and I can't make myself bother with the other 4. Seriously unfun.
The first Inf reset doesn't feel like much at first, but don't overlook Auto-Tree, it's a huge time saver. You also get infinity points, which let you spend stacked points to upgrade one(eventually more) skills past their natural cap. It's expensive and not something you'll really use till later but eventually using this will become necessary.
Every Infinity reset you perform after this unlocks something new. Usually it's just an expansion on an already unlocked event: Auto-Ascension and new perks, Auto-Rebirth, increased mutagen gain, new space tier, etc. After that you'll unlock Singularities, which are their own separate animal but give you really useful benefits.
At this point you should be ready to venture to new Dimensions. Note that traveling to a new dimension resets the one you were in, so don't click one by accident if you're close to finishing a reset! You can travel freely between Dimensions that you've unlocked, so you're never trapped. Each dimension gives a reward per tier level finished and a much more powerful one for fully completing it. These rewards may seem small at times but are absolutely game changing.
Hope this helps a bit, feel free to ask more specific questions if you have them. Cheers
There's a pretty gnarly bug with Dimension 17 that resets all your spent ascension shards, including Infinite shards and D shards. D shards can be retrieved with annihilation, but the infinite shards have to be grinded out again, which sucks at high level.
Seems to happen when you change dimensions to or from 17, tho it doesn't happen every time. I recommend backing up your save (export) before anyone ventures there, just in case.
I feel like I've definitely hit the wall with Dimension 9. All previous dimensions are complete, with the exception of 23, 17 and 5. I'm on T[17] in Dimension 17, max level in Dimension 5 is around 1800. Main is on T[21], in Singularity BH, with about 3200 Inf points. Endless Levels is at 65.
With all that, I still can't seem to get the last 90 or so levels needed to pass Dimension 9. Is it a matter of grinding Ascension Shards for a few days and getting more Endless Levels? Maybe grind out more kills in Singularity-BH?
Feel like I've been in Limbo for a few days now, so if anyone past this point has some advice I'm all ears. Thanks!
