[GUIDE] Transcendent Survivalist - Layouts - Screenies

[Maka]

Here is a collection of builds i used to get the tran surv cheevo.

These were mostly done in 4 person pugs to test to make sure they were not overly complicated to maintain. These layouts, for the most part assume u have decent stats. The point of doing this was help ppl who maybe stuck on a certain map or for ppl who just needed an idea for a tricky lane. This guide wasn't meant for progression builds, alot of them will work well with out decent stats, but some assume u have at least 1-1.5k stats.

These were designed to be as easy to maintain as possible, mostly due to the huge about of time it takes to get this cheevo and the fact that i am super lazy. I didn't want to be running around in maps for 3 hours at a time chasing after boosted proxies or mobs hung up on far gas traps. So if u have lower stats and need some help plz let me know and ill try to make a build that works for u.

None of these builds require heavy dps. For the most part dps is not needed.

Before we get started I got this sexy screenie to show off.

Area 1:
Didn't make posts for these as they are easy and fun to figure out on ur own.
Maybe later I will post some afk builds for these if u have not done them yet.

GL with ur surv cheevo, let me know how it goes. Toss a rating on this post if u like it

I will update this with alt builds for lower stats as i work though them, probally gunna shoot for all stats under 1k. But this is not a proirity atm.

update:retested these builds with monk aura range of 1.4k they all function the same. Infact im kinda irriated at my self for not testing range earlier. It made about a 1in diff on my screen in boosted radius after dropping it more than 1.6k points. There seems to be a soft cap at about 1.5k.

Anyhow GL! and enjoy

nicely setup, easy to follow. was most interested on ur HoC and glitter builds. they look nice, as ive never been able to beat them. do they still work with the newest patch i think making the giant pack of wyverns/ogres/spiders at end of wave?

[Maka]

yes they still work as of 7.31, almost all trash on in my builds are dealt with by AoE so there is really no concern for the amount of trash at once other than the drain on traps/auras.

ty for checking out my layouts, i have coming to this site for a while stealing ideas and now its nice to post some of my own.

lemme know how the glitter build goes for u, i had low expectations once i had it set up but it went extremely well.

[AnalTyrant]

These look pretty good, I'd be interested in actually making a go at this achievement with these plans. The time investment is just the biggest hindrance for me. Do you have any recommendations for starting on later waves? Would these still be viable starting at around 15 at least?

[Maka]

i actually dc'd on alot of em, my internet sucks, anyhow i restarted more than one in the 20's. Also i usally start any surv on at least wave 12.

the only ones i would shy away from are the ones that are very spread out and hard to hit all the upgrades at once. I wouldn't suggest servants quarters too late or glitter. But, they are doable as long as u get ur boost beams up and at least one upgrade on any proxie to make sure the stack dosent deplete while u are busy upgrading other crap.

there was a post on my spires guide that said he had started it at wave 25 and everything went fairly well.

Edit: I would actually start on 14 if i were u to get some upgrades down before the small buff the mobs get at 15, if that goes well for u u can try starting at 19 before the wave 20 buff.

Added ramps

is cliffs included for the cheive?

[lolofaf]

also, i tried a similar setup for glitter that i made and it went pretty well. other than a few shark wall moving xD

[Maka]

No u dont need cliffs but i can post my build if needed, cliffs is fairly easy to clear.

Edit: tbh i dont know if u need cliffs, already had it done so im not sure if its required. Ill write a guide for it tonight or tomorrow and add it to this one. If someone does this acheivement let me know if cliffs is required.

It seems to me you only need to pass wave 25 on Cliffs, not beat it through 30. Not sure if this is intended, but it worked and unlocked for me by playing Cliffs 26.
