Farming Question

[seti god of chaos]

Hey guys I was thinking that every time I build up a large strike and go on a farming spree someone is just going to kill all my super att soldiers. Because that is at least 2.5 bil planets it means that I will have to wait to gain enough planets to start farming again.

Instead of training up a large strike could I just sab their weapons or destroy their military and hit with a small strike? It would save me a lot of planets.

How many ATs does it take to destroy a decent def through sabbing or destroying military?

u need assassins lvl to make it less expensive , so u sab its def/strike planets and then u can kill its assasins to minimize costs of other sab hits

[seti god of chaos]

Sorry mate that was a bit difficult to understand

So you think Sab the enemy is the best way?

[Duderanch]

By sab he means destroy military. That takes out their attack and def planets. You can also hunt assassins which makes 'dming' cheaper but your strike needs to be larger than their def for that.

Sabotage can be used to take out their weapons but as weapons are so cheap in ascended most people have 100's of millions more weapons than they need so sabbing is not affective.

[seti god of chaos]

So destroy military is good. If someone had around 500 mil def planets how much would it take to zero them on average?

[Iƒrit]

sabbing is useless doesnt destory enough weapons, its only useful if its cheap enough to drop there defense enough to kill there assassins as needed if you trying to destroy their military while taking low losses. Personally if you looking to build yor ascened up just farm with your strike what you can and invest into charisma and exploration fleets to get your size up. building low rank gives you more turns, so if you only ever build a strike and sell it off before turn change/while offline you always get the most turns possible while suffering few losses. the only time you should need covert is when your farming...
but its all up to you, and how you wanna play

yep if yr assa lvl it very good or better then yr target then just DM to a point u can HA then DM again till target phase then keep it going till u 0000 it
usually i just DM

[seti god of chaos]

Yeah the only problem with that is

500 mil super strike planets
= 2.5 bil planets.

After one farming session these planets will get destroyed by someone. Just looking for a way to steal naq without having the large strike.

[seti god of chaos]

Why would you hunt assasins?

[Duderanch]

Hunt assassins is just to make DMing cheaper. Not really nessercary if your just farming.

[stuff of legends]

Pretty much what everyone has been saying.
Sab is pointless, you would be wasting your time no matter the amount of weps they have. (unless of course your up against like 10,00 planets or something small)
Destroy mili is always worth it, IF you need to, that will just aggravate someone.
I usually wait till turn change to get 130% multi, have a tank CER and large attack power up and your set for life. But yeah probably be best getting a tank attack power up level.
Fastest way to kill a def=destroy military.
However unless you plan to drop a few k ranks after you would be loosing a fair few AT;s

Just hit 0 defs - there are enough out there.

Never try destorying the enemy to farm them (unless they have ridiculous amounts out) because this is just a waste of turns......get your personal attack level up to 1300+

train 250mil supers (1.25 bil planets)

this will let you farm a LOT of people

Also as others have said, build Charisma and Fleets so if you do get massed it won't take as long to rebuild.

[seti god of chaos]

If someone had around 500 mil def planets how much would it take to zero them through destroying military?

[renegadze]

it would all depend on what assassin level they had, but since you are limited to 2k turns on ascended, it's never profitable to mass to farm

Thanks for the help guys
