Yeah, the new Altas skill trees have been great for boosting older league content (especially Incursion and Legion) and promoting a ton of different ways to play the game.

Now, if only they’d make the Betrayal nodes better...

Hope people have been enjoying me handing out Exalts like candy the past couple of days, should be doing more of the same tonight, probably with another Guess the Facebreaker game.

The Betrayal nodes are great already, at least early league. I made a ton of exalts the first week or so of this league by farming mastermind in haewark.

Do maps in Valdo to set up your board, then do maps in Haewark to get Harvests and Safehouses. Sometimes run Mastermind.

There is a bulk selling channel on the TFT discord you can try, I sold a bunch of maps there early league.

But it's during the bullet hell phase? That's the whole point of Zana putting up her bubble

I think with shaper its unintentional, imo if you don't alt-f4 he's harder to do deathless than maven or sirus a8 right now. There's just no other counter to maven launching orbs into the bubble and/or making a shaper clone during the bullet hell phase

Okay what the hell is this, I made a Transcendence Golemancer and I have CI and 2200 ES with 50k Armour and I can just stand in anything and everything on T15 maps at level 80. My stone golems are poo poo damage but this feels tankier at 2200 ES than my old Hoag Guardian with 25k ES. Also I lucked out and got a watchers eye with 20% phy taken to elemental and 60% reduced crit taken.

This is pretty close to where I ended up for a permanent setup. I think The Most Efficient route is running Zana stuff and Neural Pathways + Remnants of the Past + Adept Tracker at the same time so that regular mapping gives you the greatest number of special map drops. You let those build up for a while and then respec into the proper branch and burn through a big set with maven watching the entire time so you can run enough arenas to recoup your unmaking orbs. But that's also more involved and tedious and I got tired of doing it after a while.

I've been doing a more Zana & Sirus-oriented run with:

Master of the Atlas -> Paths Not Taken, Adept Tracker -> Thaumaturgical Awakening, Secrets of the Stones, Close Allies

Close Allies is great for racking up additional missions, and Secrets of the Stones is nice for boosting those "% increased chance for master missions to be Zana" stones. (Plus, that "10% increased chance for Sirus to drop a unique watchstone" small passive leading up to it ain't bad, either.)

I tried using Neural Pathways for a while, but the chance is just way too small unless you're doing some massive chain-running of maps.

I base everything off doing Sirus cycles, so I have A9 + extra gem, along with Zana having more missions and better chance of master procs.

I do Valdo maps for an entire Sirus cycle and set up my betrayal board. Then after Sirus is killed I switch over to Haewark and run Zana maps for extra harvests while building up safehouse intelligence. Usually around the time Sirus spawns off that Haewark cycle I've got a few safehouses to run.

Alternatively instead of Valdo I do Glennach for Alva temples. Depends on what mood I'm in.

The rest of the atlas might as well not exist.

Similar thing here, but I'll also run New Vastir if I happen to have some Legion scarabs/sextant mods, and occasionally Lex Proxima whenever I roll that "possessed mons drop gilded scarabs" sextant mod.

I'm fine with "ignore 3/8 of the Atlas after getting all the completion bonuses" because it's better than the previous "ignore everything but these 3 maps or you're Doing It Wrong". For their first swing at it, they did a pretty good job with at the very least making you think about what regions/rewards you want to run with very few obvious choices (although I think we can all agree Lira sucks).

I think next league I'd only fiddle with Uncharted passives once: use Atlas Awakened to expedite getting Awakened map bonuses until I'm naturally A8. I can see the reasoning behind Neural Pathways to get a nice balance, but like Dave I saw very little reward out of that. Guardian branch seems more consistent.

Most of this league I bounced between valdo harbinger farm, new vastir dunes legion farm, and haewark atoll harvest farm with zana missions, with a little bit of glennach sprinkled in here and there. Legion farming over-sustains incubators, even when you filter out all the bad ones. So I'd farm dunes legions, rack up a quad tab's worth of incubators, then switch to one of the other regions to use up all the incubators.

I'll throw an honorable mention to a strategy I only used briefly but want to explore further, lex ejoris pathological farming. Yank all your watchstones out except lex ejoris, juice your lex ejoris maps as much as you can including a gilded cartographer scarab. You'll find enough maps to continually run ones that naturally dropped with layers of delirium on them. I'm not sure how this stacks up in terms of profit but it was a fun to play delirium league for a bit without having to worry about buying delirium orbs which is a pain in the rear end.

I agree neural pathways is pretty weak. Maybe Atlas Awakened is the stronger option since it gives you small incremental bonuses across the board. If you're just doing regular maps and letting your fragments and guardians accumulate, one or the other is at least something to throw onto the pile. The deeper nodes don't apply to Zana missions, so they're only useful once you start using up your fragments. I think I'd still lean slightly toward Neural Pathways as a matter of preference, because I like the wacky synthesized and fragmented stuff that falls out of the memory maps.

Anyway yeah the system overall is great especially for a first pass. There's the potential for all sorts of fun stuff just by shuffling numbers and nodes around each league.
