Plaza

## **Overview**

The Plaza is unlocked together with Battlefield after destroying the Dimensional Portal in Adventure.

Plaza buildings are built by sacrificing mana cap and material from Gathering. To unlock the next tier of buildings, you need to upgrade both of the buildings in your current tier to level 5. When the buildings in the fifth tier reach level 2, you will unlock the ability to Prestige.

Plaza buildings do not reset on reincarnation or challenge.

### **Tips**

Plaza is not well explained in game, so here is my take on it to help new and old players:

* Plaza buildings are very powerful, don't hesitate to start investing.
* Hell Wells are the engine that powers the Battlefield. Keep building them as you build the Tier 2 buildings to maximize your overall BF progress.
* If your mana cap increase has slowed down, it probably means you need to start investing in Aqueducts.
* The Tier 3 and 4 buildings (the ones with blue triangles) have really good bonuses. Tier 4 in particular is very powerful because they directly increase your reincarnation bonus.
* Aim to get 250 perk points with your first prestige and buy the gathering generator. More resources will speed up future prestiges.
* After your first prestige, try to wait to prestige again until you've saved up enough resources to mostly rebuild the plaza. You lose an enormous amount of power until you've rebuilt, and the Tier 5 buildings speed up gathering, so it's faster to save up resources while they're active.
* After the first prestige, maximize plaza cost reduction to speed up prestiges even more. At some point while doing that max out the second tier of crafted crystals because they boost gathering.
* Once you're prestiging as fast as possible, move on to the battlefield-related perks.

## **Prestige**

You can prestige once your T5 buildings are both at least level 2. Prestige will reset your plaza buildings to 0 and award you with perk points (PP). Building costs are also reset. PP awarded is based on the amount of each building you had. After unlocking Demon Babies, their PP generation **will increase with every prestige.**

T6 buildings (Ancient Library and Demon Market) are not reset on prestige and do not give PP.

### Plaza Save

Plaza Save is a milestone task that should be completed around max stage 340-350. It is a perk that costs 5 million perk points, and allows you to retain your maximum plaza bonuses (that you get after buying Plaza Save) forever, even while prestiging the plaza building repeatedly back to 0. As saving 5M PP is a massive effort at this stage, you should ensure that you have made done the following preparations beforehand

* Completed FL2
* Defeated wave 100+ of battlefield, are generating at least 5k HSR/refill and bought some levels of the "Plaza Perks" from HSR shop
* Maxed SZ4 gear. Sniped SZ5 gear
* Progressively bought all the good/cheap perks. This includes Troop Perks for any troop you have unlocked, everything on Page 1 Row 1, MCR/Spirit Refill from Page 1 Row 2 (others on row 2 optional), 6 points in Page 1 Row 4 Bonus Perks, Everything on Page 1 General Perks (rods/baits optional)
	+ Learn to use Auto Plaza before you go insane micro-managing prestiges.
	+ Each batch of perks (including the 5m plaza save) should be earned in a cycle as follows:-
	+ Gather enough resources over 12-48 hours
	+ Prestige X times in a row at some efficient ratio maximizing your resources (eg. 22/16/8/5/2) but make sure to save enough resources to....
	+ Rebuild all Plaza buildings to a level HIGHER than before you started this prestige cycle
* Crafted Gems up to the end of "High"
* Bought Treasure Hunter from Soul Shop. Preferably also bought Farmer's Life.
* At least the Gathering Resource Trophies

Right before the final prestige cycle, save 100 million gems (or use the Alex calculator to determine exactly how many log/ore/gems you need). Buy 5/5 Plaza Auto. Once you're at least 60% of the way (3/5million perk points prestiged), it becomes efficient to use Baby Demons to help you the rest of the way. (Or if you messed up and ran out of resources).

From this point on, until Maxstage 415, your BDs should be on perks most of the time, feeding you an endless stream of perks.

### Post-Plaza Save

You should set up auto-prestige to run 24/7. Initially, you should set the ratio to the minimum 18/14/10/6/2 and put most of your demons on gathering. After the initial 1 week, you should no longer have trouble maintaining the resources for 24/7 auto-plaza. When possible, tune the ratio higher (eg. x+16/x+12/x+8/x+4/x, where you raise x slowly over time). Soon, the bottleneck will became mana cap instead of resources. At steady state, x should be a value roughly 15-20 levels below your max t5 building level.

Initially, you should "update/push" your max plaza buildings every week or so. Over time, this can be done less frequently.

### **Critical Perks (Page 2)**

* Row 1 perks give 10% chance of a x5 or x10 each time you earn a resource.
* Row 2 perks increase the odds by 0.4% per level (up to 50% total at level 100.)
* Row 3 perks double the amount of resources earned each level.
* Examples:
	+ Max gold perks: 50% chance to gain x327,680 gold each time gold is earned.
	+ Max exp perks: 50% change to gain x160 exp each time exp is earned.

### Perks (Page 3)

Start at 1e10 (10 billion) perk points and increase with each level, but most of the bonuses also increase each level. The ones that say "increase X by Y%" in the description do not increase, such as Minion Crit Chance. These perks have no level cap.

The highest priority page 3 perks are essence and reinc bonuses, because they indirectly increase many other bonuses.
