My PB is getting to stage 24. That was before the ET change however. I think 22 is my current stage record on the newest ET season. Keep trying and climbing and learn from my mistakes.

yeah i remember seeing a tip like that but i forgot which key it was

I think most builds are situational. In later stages, the elites are much tougher than regular enemies so improvised builds are going to be less effective than the optimized ones. IF you are facing all melee units then investing in melee armor is huge and I think worth it instead of the ranged attacks I usually get for my tower DPS. Armor upgrades also scale well with healing effects like the potion perk, wizard, and healing towers (but I don't build heal towers nearly as often as I should). Also you should consider that ET are randomized loadouts so it isn't guaranteed that you get a sword on a specific map that has melee only units. I'll keep my eyes open for a future map like that but I'll probably forget and fall back on the general strategy of ranged dps for towers and hero hp on sword.

Thank you for your words and I'm glad I helped you learn from my videos. What style do you prefer? A units style or king focus?

@@bigmacfromaos6508 I started out focussing on my king, but over the last two weeks, I have put more emphasis on my units. So far, my runs go farther when I go the unit route. I also learned to ignore all min-maxing regarding the score. In the end, all that counts is survival! Actually, the longer you survive, the higher the score and no min-maxing will make up for not getting to that next Stage.

hi

Unfortunately I did not beat my PB for highest stage. Before I started this miniseries I had reached stage 24 before they changed the eternal trials formula. Before there would be some rounds with a small amount of rounds but a huge amount of enemies (easier to cheese with treasure chest) instead of ramping up from 5 rounds to 10 and staying at 10. Also yeah I was upset and just wanted to forget about my mistake on stage 22 so I started the easy levels again. I wasn't thinking about how to make good content in that moment oops.

@@bigmacfromaos6508 Fair enough man I do the same thing haha.. Thanks for the content anyway I'm going to keep watching your stuff I enjoy your commentary.

Maybe I should start writing down in notepad what the problem waves are so I know when to upgrade elites.

I completely agree with what you are saying. Here is why I didn't upgrade: Elite tower greed. If I use it then I don't get elite towers for later waves. So I usually upgrade to tier 2 on night 9 and tier 3 on night 10 because if the enemies get stronger every night then surely you need your elites on the last 2 nights right? However, this mindset prevents me from using sense to upgrade during the 3 hardest waves. At the time I forgot if the ogre wave was the hardest wave so I saved it for later waves instead of powering up enough to save my base. In hindsight I should have realized that the ogres was going to be the hardest wave on the map (look back at the video. I could have easily killed night 9 with my trample tactics) so I needed power to live. It is one of those things that you learn from the school of hard knocks. Unfortunately for me I had to learn it first

House perks give you more money than interest though. With resilient residences you get the taxes regardless of the house destruction. So if you had 2 gold in your chest to spend and you spent it on a house on the first night, you get at least 10 gold from that house. However, that interest money gives you 1 gold and that is it. The gold mine was a mistake though. 5 gold would have given me 3 gold in interest or I could have invested in my 2 houses instead.

Free money isn't bad, but everything comes with an opportunity cost. So when you are at the perk selection you want other money making perks instead. Most times you don't really NEED the chest money because it comes the last 3 nights when, ideally, you have enough money to do whatever you need. This time, however, I messed up defending my boats and didn't make as much money as I should have so I really appreciated having the treasure chest.

Thanks. If you want more thronefall ORANGUGREED on youtube also has a channel with thronefall content. Most of it is high score hunting but it is still a good watch.

@@bigmacfromaos6508 thanks I will check it out

@@bigmacfromaos6508 your commentary is great and very relaxing it makes the videos compared to other channel

I was tempted to put shrines in niche because they are a niche perk. Only 2 maps take advantage of it, but the strength is so great that it jumped to tier A. Also when you get far in ET you just want to jump between the two maps with the shrines anyway because they are easier to defend. The activation cost of ancient shrines is also less important when you can charge on night one after killing the massive amounts of units they throw at you in later stages of ET.

I've got a pipeline for more eternal trials content. Usually you will see the first 5 maps in the run and then each episode after that you see 2 maps because the later maps take longer to do and I don't want giant 10 hour run videos. I won't re roll the first map for optimal scoring either.

Thanks, and I have a playlist on my channel called Thronefall Guides that should help. Basically its a tower defense where you can micromange your king to defend. The game mode I'm playing is the eternal trials with random enemies and maps.

Thanks man.

They aren't F tier. Telescopes is strong. I mention it but the debuff is stronger than the mutator that makes enemies weaker. However there are so few flying enemies that telescopes have a very narrow usage.

Its probably because I forget to. I do remember a I played few maps recently where I do upgrade the houses for more money (so look out for it in future videos).

I can see it being hard as the book. Most of the book damage is the burst with the special, but that leaves you with a big window where you do so much less damage. I think with enough cooldown upgrades and assassin training you can spam book specials, but getting to that point would be rough.

Thanks. It is all part of the learning process.
