So the Incinerator strategy has paid off dividends. Many opponents are fizzling on my base while I’m slowly ranking up. I’m only doing chests but I’ve been on a pretty good streak so far. Also, my defenses are pretty stacked so opponents doing Hooka or Tanks are getting nailed hard.
Some key things are the bonus troop damage and the Building Damage nodes at max. Also, I got the Doom Cannon II which seems to be helping to frustrating opponents with its high health. So now they have to not only contend with my Shock Launchers and Shock Blaster but also another major threat of the Doom Cannon. In addition, the Mortars are now becoming useful with the +50% Building Damage node.
Now, getting to 6ER is going to take sometime. I think I can accomplish that before the end of the season which is this Sunday. I would like to get Heavy Choppas just to give that a go. But I fear that with 6ER, it’s going to take quite a bit of keys to get where I need to go.
Theoretically, I probably can stay in 5ER and possibly keep my Gold ranking. But if it starts to get stale where I’m not winning but have enough keys to progress, I’ll probably move on earlier. At the very least, I want to grab the Building Health node and have enough upgrade tokens to max it out before entering. Also, I want to make sure I have my Heavies maxed out. The hard part is spreading more of my defenses around with a further opened up warship. Right now, the cluster is doing my situation very well but I have a feeling that I will need the two extra Boom Cannons inside of 6ER so I can handle the Heavy Choppas.
As for normal Boom Beach, today was another Hammerman Strikes Back day. Not too bad. They provided more Hot Pots so I have one of those, a Damage Amplifier, Microwav’r and Shock Blaster to help take today’s event down on both accounts. There weren’t any serious threats like Bombardiers on the last stage so I found this one to be easy.
Also, my Shock Launcher on my main account completed so it’s much beefier. I’m going to aim for another one by Friday if possible so that I can have both upgraded. Then from there I’ll probably start doing Flamethrowers -> Cannons -> Machine Guns – Sniper Towers and Mortars in my upgrade rotation. That way, my base gets a little evenly spread when it comes to defenses as well as not boring me out.
