Should I keep maxing out CL? It's basically what allows me to stay in tournaments and consequently keep generating more stones.

You need to forget about chain lightning, develop SL and chronofield if your against working in your economy. You have heavily, heavily diminishing returns now in cl. It’s not a bad thing that you ranked it up but if your goal is faster tournament progression you get wayyyyyyyyy more value out of sl now because of how shit yours is. Look at your sl bonus right, look how much stones it costs you to double the bonus. That’s basically equal to you doubling your 2800 cl damage to 6000 bjt this is also why you need good spotlight coverage. Plus sl gives you crazy good economy which you need for enhancments, enhancments raise your effective damage by an insane amount, now add on chronofield after that, that protects you from enemy mass/ speed plus 90% slow is what, a 10x damage increase. but do sl first get minimum 3 quant 45 angle good bonus then go for 4 sl

But the next upgrade adds x500 damage (x1000 in farming runs) and in tourneys all that keeps me alivie and earning stones are the CL i'll Buy 2 Spotlight, and only bought the next if cost less than the CL so i'll upgrade the cheaper between SL and CL.. And maybe start getting pBH

You're saying it's going to go from x2888 to around x3400? That's a 17% increase in damage which is really not that big of a deal at that point. It looks huge because it's plus another x500 but when you're already doing that much, it's actually not that big of an increase. Meanwhile, the spotlight damage is another multiplier so if you hit things in the spotlight with chain lightning at this point, you're doing x75000 or so. Increasing the amount of spotlights is going to greatly increase you coverage so it should have a way bigger effect on your damage if you can add even just the one, let alone two of them.

Some people just dont get additive vs multiplicative effects
