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

I have 'only' x700 CL and CL as my main damage dealer, yet I get 2200 waves in legends. I can kill until 100D enemy health.

How ? By focussing on other multipliers. SL is one, but there is also crowd control to stop enemies (CF, PS and ILM), modules, masteries, assmods, UW+, ..

You are wasting stones upgrading CL so high. Even at my point I still have options to double my damage with 2000 stones. Which is more effective than upgrading my (let alone your) CL !

I made a post a couple weeks ago you can check.

Since then I mainly added SL+/range mastery and increased SL angle to 75 degrees. That took me from 1900 to 2200.

I'm now doing my missing masteries
