      small tips

      1. Give your SMD to your teammate in case you're stalling (if progress is below 50%).

      2. Make mobile shields.

      3. Always make sera shields/sams if you have access to sera tech.

      4. If your paragon is 80-90% done ctrl-k most of your t3 mexes and reclaim them to boost the construction rate.

      5. If you see a teleport marker near your game ender make sure you ground fire it with your PDs and anything else that does damage.

      6. Make gunships only (mb not cybran t2 gunships), bombers/mercies have friendly fire so they can accidentally kill your game ender if enemy teles next to it.

      7. Spam energy storages if you have a paragon.

          Good guide, I think all it is missing is a short section on what the game-ender should target when it's finally up. Stuff like power, air grid, nuke defense, etc.

            Nice guide for less experienced players, a guide like this has been missing as far as I know so thanks for putting it together. Something else that should be added to this is that you should always make a paragon before you make a salvation.

              @haachamachama What's the thought process behind ground firing the teleport marker ground firing? I honestly don't know..

              The rest of your points were great additions, I might make a video for all this and I'll add your points 🙂

                  @scout_more_often

                  Because if you don't ground fire it, the PDs will only start turning and shooting once he teleports in, but by then he will have extra time to kill your game ender, by groundfiring the teleport location beforehand you avoid losing DPS and you're able to kill him faster as the pds won't waste time turning themselves + projectile distance travel.

                    @haachamachama Ah that makes perfect sense, I had thought for a second though you were going to tell me that projectiles could travel through the warp effect and I'd never learnt that in all these years of playing I've had lol

                      Doesn't Paragon now give a huge E storage to prevent E stall when it finish building?

                        Yeah it was a recent buff, but if you’re fully utilizing the paragon resources and depending on how much buildpower you have, 100k e storage won’t be enough and you still have risks of e stalling.

                          A couple of t1 mexes will do. Don't forget to reclaim some stones though.
