    uh, no it's not lol. Depends on the stage though. There's one stage where there's waves of like 10 little dudes that come in fast. Ambush kills them off instantly and it's just 10 cost.

    doesn't mean it's garbage. It has a use. The wind one though actually is garbage.

    It was helpful for me in that one map at the beginning to get 0 enemies. It loses it's value later on though ofc. But I guess if that's one's definition of it being garbage...o well. It's not like it costs 180 points to build.

    Anyone know which, if any, artifacts that can roll elemental mastery as the primary? I also spent time making 48 lanterns last night. Hopefully thats enough for this event. Though i have to upgrade my towers too.

    The mine is pretty awesome.
    I didn't use it much yet (only to kill the fast ones that sometimes manage to slip through without getting hit by any tower whatsoever) but even in theory, you are looking at 6800 damage base, 13600 with cryo and depending on what's happening maybe even 20k hits for just 10 points.
    You can drop it on top of 5 mobs that got slowed/frozen and get chain explosions too.
    If it's inside the extra-money gain tower area and you got the +150% dmg buff on that thing from the "in-between stage buffs" you are overkilling everything by like 2000% of their HP or something.

    A lvl 6 electro tower is only dealing 1700 dmg per target btw.

    I can imagine that the mines are very useful on the hardest difficulty later, who knows.

    should've quoted the guy who said it was garbage lol.

    When the mines explode, are they then consumed? Or do the explode-y bits regenerate over time?

    one-time usage. it'd be completely op if it stayed with how little it costs lol.

    Mines are great to leave behind all your towers in case anything manages to get through. Just keep in mind they count as 1 of your 14 max towers.

    There are challenges that require you to only build up to 12 towers in the next stages, and with increasing difficulty I guess we will need to do more than stand around later on. At which point the mines could be good. It is a waste of time right now, though.

    I have one feather with I believe 15.6% crit rate and a few other items with 12-13ish.. Every time a 5-star artifact rolls Crit Rate it gets between 2.7% and 3.9%. So I guess an artifact that starts with 3.9% Crit and four mods, and then upgrades CR all five times, could theoretically have up to 23.4% crit very maximum if the stars align.

    But it's all pure luck, there's no secret that helps in getting something to above 10% crit rate or anything.

    ok yea, I think that's my problem. I've never gotten a 3.9% crit with 4 stats 5* (at +0). So the chances of getting over 10% would probably be a lot lower. Most have been 2.7% with 3 stats at start. Have like 1 or 2 (maybe) at 3.9% and 3 stats.

    Luckily, flower and plume is the easiest to farm so I guess I can just try to go for over +10% on those.
