How to reach Degree 100 (solo)
In solo play the four standard power categories top out below Degree 100, so a maxed Ascended Shadow needs Geraldo's Paragon Power Totems to close the gap. The most cash-efficient solo path on Medium difficulty:
- 16,200,000 equivalent pops/damage (income counts as 4 pops per $1)
- 100 sacrificed upgrade tiers
- $1,500,000 spent on sacrificed towers
- 20 Geraldo Paragon Power Totems
Co-op is cheaper: each player can sacrifice extra Tier 5s, which cuts the totems you need. Adjust the target degree, difficulty and game mode in the calculator.
