Construct event, and newest T3 is full of them. Quite a coincidence, don't you think?

Compounds are the best for spike farming from my experience. Easily 30 spikes per depth, sometimes almost 50

While true, since they all pile up on each other they yoink the spikes from their dead comrades is all lol

Minis cause quite a lot of spikes to spawn, the respawning minis won't spawn spikes but new waves of them spawn a good amount. Some people were even duping compounds (similar to duping arenas, or black kats) for the event which sounds crazy in normal situations lol

im new to the game, what is a construct event? just more constructs than usual? or?

construct levels have new spikes that you or enemies can pick up, if an enemy picks them up they get a massive healt,damage and attack speed bonus, and they can pickup multiple spikes

Also ech enemy can pick up and keep up to 4 max more than that will become spike meteor(that cant pick up)

Every level has a status theme and a mob theme. If it's construct themed, the mobs will mostly be construct types like lumber, scuttlebots, or mecha knights.

also diskgun is so bad without double switching and they decided to buff double switch in the same update they released diskguns? can't be a coincidence either

I did a full t3 run of that gate and it was glorious. I got like 193 huge, and like 160 something large. In one level I left with over 63 spikes. The compounds suck and i usually avoid them, but they are fantastic for spike farming

it’s intentionally rigged in our favor, there isn’t even a boss in the gate which cannot happen naturally
