ee2k to ee5k
This guide is currently undergoing change. Keep in mind, strategies may change.
Feel free to use the glossary as needed.
Autosupremacy #
Do not buy Autosupremacy until you have more than 118,840 total stars. This keeps all variables when you get autosupremacy. Here is the expression to copy: autosupremacy expression.
Graduation routing #
2k | → | 4k |
4k | → | 4.8k |
4.8k | → | 5k |
Remember to follow our routing advice from Introduction to Graduation. If you graduate with 17 students (4.4k) by accident, next graduation is 4.8k. If you graduate with 18 students (4.6k), you will not graduate at 4.8k, but push to 5k instead.
Introduction to students #
One student is attainable for every ee200 max \(f(t)\) you reach starting with 5 students at ee2000. Students are used to purchase phi upgrades and theories, both of which are found by cycling through the new button on the bottom of the screen. Some upgrades become available through further progression of the game.
Phi (φ) and tau (τ) #
In the top left, we see \(\varphi\) = 1.00. This is the Greek letter “phi” and is what students are used to increase. In the top right, we see \(\tau\) = ???. This is the letter “tau” and is grown through theories unlocked at ee5000.
Students row #
On the left, our current available students is shown by \(\sigma\) on the top. The total students we have is designated by \(Total: 19\sigma_t\).
On the right, the amount of students gained for a graduation at that moment is shown by \(d\sigma\). The \(f(t)\) required for the next graduation is shown on the bottom.
Total students after a graduation is equal to \(\sigma_t\) \(+\) \(d\sigma\). When a graduation is available, it will display the message: “Tap to graduate new students”. You do not have to graduate with only one student and it is often times better to graduate for multiple at a time.
Phi upgrades #
At the top, we see the equation: \(\varphi = \prod_{i}\varphi_{i}\). This is telling us \(\varphi\) value top left is equal to all the multiplication of all the phi upgrades.
You will commonly see the upgrades shown above referred to by R (research) followed by a number. R1, for example, is the upgrade that currently says \(\varphi_{1} = dt^{0}\). You may also see the variable level put in front of the R, so the third level of R1 could be denoted as 3R1.
R1 through R7 are also known as the phi or research upgrades. These are what determine what phi value you have in the top left. One strategy is pressing the i and comparing phi gain/student cost. However, we have a student calculator for phi updates.
When “↑ \(\varphi\) exponent by 0.1” is purchased, there will appear an exponent in the equation at the top (ex: \(\varphi_{i}^{1.1}\)) putting the phi value to that exponent.
Theories #
These are unlocked at 20 students (ee5k). When you have enough students to get Theory 1, unlock it immediately.
For instructions of how to respec student upgrades please check back to the respec instructions.
The final push to ee5k #
First thing is to make sure you are ready for 5k push. You must have 18 or 19 students. If you have 17 students, graduate at 4.8k for 19 students. If you have 16 or fewer students then graduate at 4.6k for 18 students. Next is to make sure you have the appropriate autoprestige and autosupremacy equation in and working. If your autosupremacy is already in then leave it on and don’t enter the expression field to reset it.
The final three steps are the most important:
- Update your distribution of phi upgrades with the phi calculator as you go and not just in the beginning.
- Update your star permanent levels with the star calculator at least once after ee4600.
- Mentally prepare for a long push (it can take a while).
Additional notes #
When you get to ee4995, turn off autoprestige and just cruise until ee5000. Do not turn off earlier or it will be significantly slower or you won’t make it.
Never turn off autobuy of variables and upgrades. The \(f(t)\) used for graduations can be found in statistics and is cumulative. In other words, it does not decrease with purchases and is only sped up with them so it is in your best interest to continue purchasing.
You can sell your autosupremacy during the 4.6k to 5k push after the final psi upgrade. This is because you can use an additional 100k stars for permanent levels for variables. The next psi 3 upgrade you will see at the bottom is only attainable at ee9160+ so you will not get it for a while.
Student Distributions for 5k Push #
To save time using the calculator, the 4 most common distributions for students during the ee5k push. These are not guaranteed optimal but are almost always the most optimal and are only not optimal during edge cases.
Distribution | |
---|---|
18 Students (no accel) | 2-4-2-2-2-0-2 |
18 Students (accel) | 3-4-2-2-2-0-1 |
19 Students (no accel) | 2-4-2-3-1-0-2 |
19 Students (accel) | 3-4-2-2-1-0-2 |
