The Rant
Alright folks this is the part where I’m supposed go to ‘hurr durr just don’t do it hurr durr’ whatever. Buncha wimps crying about idling in an idle game. So you just beat Baal down and you’re going, ‘hrm what can I do now… what about that arty challenge??’ Then you go and look up info on it and see all the whiney people crying about not doing UAC. Alright so now you will never experience UAC because everybody told you not to. End of guide. Right? No. Because like me you said, ‘Oh yeah? I’m doing it anyway eff ya’ll!’ Then you looked up a ‘tips and tricks’ guide on Kong forums and went, ‘Right! Now I know how to do this!’ Wrong. That guide is complete useless junk, trust me I personally tried to follow it. Hell even the guy who wrote it quit in the middle of like his 2nd RB. Whereas I on the other hand actually beat it. But this guide isn’t just written by me, in fact, much of the information for the guide past the 1st RB will be taken from a guy you’ll see in chat called lomie. There’re reasons for this and I won’t bring it up in the guide but feel free to hit up me or lomie for the gritty nitties
RB 1
This is the beginning, you just pressed the button and you’ve started making your 1,000 clones, now what to do!?! Alright here’s what I did and it goes against what almost everyone else says at this point but I believe it’s better. You start training only mystic trainings until you have enough mystic to tank Gaia. Now switch over to physical until you have enough attack to defeat Gaia. Now go God smashing until you have 3 gp and buy 1,000 clones-all future gp should be put into increasing build speed. Now switch all 2,000 clones back over to mystic until you finish unlocking all skills. The reason I say this is yes you will lose some time opening skills for your 1 caps-since cap reduction only needs skill open and not the physical side-you will however finish them twice as fast since you have twice as many clones whaaaaat. Yes. And believe it, it takes a long time even with 2,000 clones to unlock all skills. Update: lomie suggests grabbing another 1,000 clones with 3 gp when you can to help finish out this RB even faster. Now with the crystals you can use UB to quickly get that 3gp back later.

Now you want to put enough clones in battle to start cycling them out trying to keep decent flow of clone killed vs clone created to increase your soft cap. Don’t think of trying to use battle for anything else it’s useless in UAC. Beyond div and increasing your softcap there’s no advantage to battle, don’t think I’m wrong just there isn’t the end. Now you will want to stay in this RB until you reach softcap-99,999. Leave your creation on clones to help increase this as well as long as you aren’t creating for creation achievements-which you want all of in this RB as well. Now lomie’s suggestion is to do 30 seconds of unleash and 10 Patk+ in the first RB with 2 levels in the rest for total might and that’s fine if you decide to do that but that’s a lot of time training might with 2k clones. My suggestion would be to strive for 20 seconds and get 6 levels in all other might except Physical Attack+ which you want 10-15 in.

Get 100,000 training achievements in mystic and physical-starting bottom of the list going up and then throw everything in dimension X or whichever gives the most per clone if you’re so inclined to check. In my experience the first RB was ALL about training physical. Do creation achievements as you can and prep 8k soil and 4800 water for when you finally defeat Hathor. (Thanks to lomie for the exact numbers on that). This lets you get T3 tree achievements once Hathor goes down. Provided you have 99,999 softcap, achievements done and Hathor down you’re ready to RB.
RB 2
Make sure you first unlock all skills first. Even if this means it takes you longer to unlock physical that’s fine, again UAC is all about reducing 1 caps-in fact that’s probably its greatest ‘reward’ in lomie’s and my opinions.

Battling is a little more important here since you are going to want divinity. You’re going to be in this RB long enough to make having a divinity generator completely worth it, while unlocking the div generator make sure to manually buy the needed resources and to have the stop on completion option turned on to conserve divinity for earliest unlock possible. You’ll be able to build the monuments you need and max out all your creation achievements again with tons of divinity left over. Do NOT upgrade the divinity generator!!! You aren’t going to take out Freya this time and you won’t need divinity in the trillions for upgrades. Just get the generator going and load it up with stones or whatever. No need for the Mountain trick just manually load a few hundred billion div worth of something into it and once you have a tril there’s no reason to even think about it again. Start doing your monuments and creations, load creations back into it from time to time and trust me you’ll never run out of div this RB. Your target God here is Artemis. You will want to get 10m in physical achievements and 2m in mystic achievements but don’t start this right away, work on the might first and let your caps drop down a little. Might to 20 on all with a 30 second unleash (lomie suggested). Once you finish your might training go ahead and black bar dimension x and whatever is most efficient then work on the achievements.
RB 3
Okay so the target God here is, I guess, an issue up for debate. I see lomie suggests Athena whereas I went to Susano. I guess look at your stats and how fast you’re coming along and decide for yourself which the better choice is. We had a different RB2 but he did finish before me while starting after me so you may want to do things his way. Alright the suggestion for this RB is a 0/2/2 div gen. You want to do godly statues and upgrade with nations. Might to 20 and trainings similar to RB2. Get the creation achievements you can when you can and get as much as you can, more creation is more better-at least until you max your creation bonus.
RB 4
Update: lomie has rerun UAC recently and has completed it in 39 days. His new suggestion is to get a 0/5/2 divgen and train 75 in Clones on Planet in might. When you can, unlock Planet Eater UB and kill it. Start making mystic crystals to reduce clone loss when defending. When you can, start making ultimates to increase stats and further reduce loss. His suggestion is 14 mystic and 5 ultimate and to down Amaterasu if reasonable to make your final RB a breeze. Old info:If you came in with Susano though a 0/3/3 is more than enough to finish Amat before your 10m achievements are even done. Again, you want all might to 20 and ALL the physical and mystic achievements-this shouldn’t be that big of an issue since your caps should be completely manageable by now. According to lomie a 3E35 multi gets Baal down in less than a week. If you came on the heels of Susano and you down Amat you’ll have much more than that-I personally finished out RB5 in 3 days forget my multi though.
RB 5
Do your thing. Seriously. By this time you should have a firm grasp on how to move up the ladder in UAC. You’re a pro now. We’re not going to ruin the final leg for you or take away from your victory by having people say some guide held your hand the whole way. This is your day to shine. Beat Baal, get your pet and your sign and all those amazing 1 caps! Then go into chat for your props because you earned every single one of those props! You won UAC bro!

123 days on UAC. Lol.

32 days for RB2 is very long. But do what you want on this run.

A little help for players, on RB2, I'd really recommend NOT spending any divinity on creation until after you get your divinity gen. I'm sitting here, on day 7, trying to get about 18 billion divinity for my divinity gen, and I could be a little farther if I had saved that up.

Also you will probably grab like 40+ Mighty statues, you'll need that push to kill Nep so you can get the mountains and work towards div gen. That's normal.

Been on RB2 for 32 days now, trying to 1cap the skills - was looking to see if my plans were kosher. Don't understand div gen or crystals, Waited for soft cap for RB1. 1st time I've looked at a guide for this. I'm guessing I'm on par since I have all training achieves and currently maxed creation achieves on the RB - up to Cybele right now. 287% total might. Guess I should revise my building strategy some. :lunar2019grinningpig: While I'm not optimal, I appear to be somewhat on par. Thanks for the benchmark info!

Oh fuck, I looked at this when I first decided to hit that stupid rebirth button.... Reading something about 50 in each might but in rb1 giving up at 30 each for my run, should have read through the guide again dammit lol may have wasted time for rb1 but I'm stacked af on might for rb2 >w< it took ages

In it right now, FSM's divgain passive seems to work. Might have someone check if the book works too?

You can send pets on level/food/growth/item campaign, don't think any other, so they basically have no impact. You definitly should send them on campaigns, but for after the UAC. The pet-multiplier are disabled in UAC.

Pineapple is correct though, any v2s and USS you can take into the challenge with you will significantly lower your UAC time. If I recall I didn't use any of these, I had some v1s I think I used was all. If you want to be most effective though try to have 4 of all of them, can't hurt for sure.

The only thing you can do with pets as far as I know is feed them. Their stats are reset at the very least. I don't remember tbh I've been taking a break from ITRTG and my UAC was a bit ago. But I do recall pets being zero help during a UAC I just don't remember exactly why other than all you could do is feed them free food.

None of these guides mention using pet campaigns for god power or divinity. Are those disabled in an Arty challenge? The game text and the wiki do not mention that.

Also do CBC might bonus carry into an Arty? They do for UBC.
