I am approaching level 49 and now have maxed missiles, fire bomb, and gordos for finca 20. I am 2 upgrades away from having rocket launchers maxed for finca 20. My rocket launcher health is 86,612 and rocket launcher damage is 570. This seems like a good balance to me for now. My missile damage is 32,509 and I have yet to find one elusive perfect 5/5 missile damage talent. Perfect 5/5 fire bomb damage talents, on the other hand, have been popping up like crazy. My fire bomb damage is 38,118 on the same set of Diegos. The most recent talent sale was a great opportunity to get in line with where I would like to be. I will soon focus my attention toward maxing out piercing cannons and nerve gas cannons finca 20. Hopefully I can accomplish this before I reach level 50. Then it's finca, training camp, helipad, squad camps, 5th piercing cannon, and a new level on rocket launchers, piercing cannons, and nerve gas cannons. Then I can just focus on everything else until I hit the next finca level. This is gonna be a lot of work and patience, but It will happen. What do you recommend I upgrade next out of cannons, guard towers, machine guns, and mortars?
My defenses are now complemented with ground defense x4 and protective fury. My offensive skills are still lacking, since I can't apply big bang without dice. Dice is the only thing holding me back. They are just too (unfairly) rare without spending gold.
It has now been 5 months since I have spent any real money and, as a reminder, I only spent $75.31 CDN prior to that, or about $60 USD. Unfortunately, I did most of the big offers on the offer wall before the 2x gold special but I still have around 10,000 gold in my reserve for shields. I keep myself shielded all the time, outside of the cartel chest event, and clear enemy outposts consistently. This includes switching out player bases whenever I have the option, in the hope that it turns into an enemy outpost.
