Start: 5088 cs with all T2 seniors (12 dorms) Once you have this, buy a dorm and make a T2 senior until you have 16 dorms of all T2 seniors. Then replace all T2 seniors with a T3 freshman. Next buy your 17th dorm and fill with a T3 freshman. Upgrade one of your T3 to a senior. Upgrade your next T3 to a senior and repeat. (a common thing to do is to replace all t3 freshmen with sophomores, do not do this, you should make a senior one by one) Next you will buy a dorm and fill with a T3 senior before buying next dorm. Keep buying dorms and filling with a T3 senior until you LC with all T3 seniors. Then you will replace each T3 senior one by one with a T4 and make senior. Do not replace all T3 seniors with T4 freshmen. Fully upgrade your T4 to senior then replace next T3 senior with a T4 senior then keep going until you LCBC. At no point should you have more than one T4 freshman. This doesn't say how much money should be in tutors and how much money should be on hand to volley. It's just the best upgrade order. I did math and used a spread sheet to determine this order.
And if you plan on volleying someone high, they should kinda upgrade like this but just know that if they are going to have some t3 by the end of the volley, they shouldn't make any t2 seniors that they will have to evict. When the volley is done, they should be in some sort of stage that is mentioned above and continue from there as according.
Filling all 32 dorms with t3 seniors is a waste of money. Get to about 50k cs and start saving money. Buy only t4 after that.
This is the most efficient stats/cost upgrade at each stage. You can choose to save up money and skip some t3 seniors and just put t4 if you choose to do so
Bumping for friend. Now that T5 is out (which didn't exist when I wrote this) I find it best to start T5 after getting 31 T4 seniors and then upgrading each T5 to a senior before buying next T5. It is cost efficient to do that because the T5's stats at senior is a lot bigger of an increase for its cost than any other level for T5. Many people believe that it's best to start T5 before having a lot of T4 seniors but they can think that. While it does save money, you grow a lot slower which doesn't necessarily make up for it.
I was about to say that. Going from t2 right to t4 is quite stupid. Yeah you're saving what, 300 mil? But in the process you're getting 500k every fight while they're getting 8 mil
Yeah T2 to T4 while skipping T3 is extremely stupid. I also feel that people start on T4 and T5 too early. Some will start on T4 right when they get 18 dorms which is kinda too early. Then I see a ton of low stat getting T5 which I think is the biggest common mistake. While it may seem reasonable to get these a little early, some people just get them too early.
I used to be obsessed with exactly even stats. When I was 100k cs I planned on getting 400k cs with even stats but wanted to skew intel first so that I could get lots of cash from farming. And then switch back to even stats as I got towards the end of my upgrade. Couldn't fix it entirely back to even stats in the end but got it close.
I wanted more. More farms dtw on fight but not dance. It was tough at the time to find hittable farms. I actually think that as of recent they snuck in an update that gives more plunder on dance. I get more on dance than fight now. Which could be because of avatar. But right before my avatar switch, I actually got exactly the same in both.
4 T4 Lvl4 = price of one T5. By the time you leveled 32 up toT4, lvl4, you could have just went ahead and gotten 8 T5
I have been on this game for three months (check my awards) and am already at 260kcs. (so I upgrade quickly) the best tactic is to go right from t4 freshman to t5 freshman. If you find the right farm and use the right tactic you can get 10bill in 3 day. I am still doing the switch, but am down to upgrading every 2 days. Every time I upgrade i go up 10kcs. I think this is the best way and my upgrading this fast is a testament to it.
Ok I'll do some comparisons. T4 senior gives 6 times more stats for its cost than a T4 freshman. By the cost of a T4 senior I mean the cost from going from freshman to senior which is 3.7b. Now compare a T4 senior to a T5 freshman. A T4 senior gives 3.5 times more stats for its cost than a T5 freshman. Now comparing a T4 senior to a T5 senior. A T4 senior gives 3.08 times more stats for its cost than a T5. What you guys are doing, is skipping some tiers which saves money. What I do is I do not skip tiers and I just upgrade which gets me much higher immediate stats. With my higher immediate stats, I farm more cash. The question is, does the additional cash from immediate upgrading make up for the cash that you lose by not skipping tiers? I think it does because you can see just how stat and cost efficient a T4 senior is. It takes 118.4b to T4 lcbc at 365k cs. If you buy T4 and T5 freshmen then you get 210k cs with 118.4b.
