Early Custom Builds
These are the custom ship builds I used in my second play-through. These are not necessarily optimized builds, but the way I like to start waves. I recommend getting to tier 1000 before starting waves. I don't recommend farming with this build or any ship with only one chunk purchased, unless you are really bored with farming wave 1 over and over. Even then, any build with one chunk is not going to be amazing. I really like using speed chunks, as they are easy to path and make farming RC much faster. The chunk that gives a 5% chance for RC is also a good option starting out, but is not as good late into waves and does not usually give as many mods. Added another speed chunk, which added 6 mods spaces. You'll quickly see that stacking square AOE is one of the fastest ways to clear waves. If you stack 10 of them, you'll hit the whole width of the blocks. Doing more damage will eventually be very important, but for now the tier damage mod will give you plenty. You guessed it!
