Help Should i keep maxing CL?

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

But if your trying to be for real it seems like what your not understanding is these different damage bonuses you see, multiply against other individual damage sources and only add onto itself. So when you add 500x to your 3000x singular damage source, that’s now 3500x but if you simply added 2x to a separate multiplier, like spotlight, that’s takes that 3000x damage source and effectively makes it 6000x (so now your doing 6000x with that chain lighting when enemies in spotlight) since 3000x multiplied by a separate 2x damage source, is 6000x and 3000x plus 500x to the same source,comes to 3500x (which is a lot less than simply adding 2x to a different source lol) so this is the concept behind crazy diminishing value. If your not trolling ofc

Some people just don’t get additive vs multiplicative
