(the) Gnorp Apologue: Compression 10 Build

Many of the endgame posts lacked clarity so I wanted to share my build in detail.

Rockets are your main damage dealers, and you just want as many modifiers as possible. Acid, frost, and zyge all work. We have lots of guns and bombers mostly to proc timeshift. Fire breath is to proc timeshift. Timeshift exists mainly to keep zyge arrows stocked, but also get away with fewer runners and still have them GEET. I’m sure there’s a more optimal setup but I was able to do this with only 14 talent points.

Talents (14 points) in order:

Row 1: Motivation, Runner Backstop, Extra Housing, Bathe In Fire
Row 2/3: Gatling Balloon, Timeshift Delivery
Row 4/5: Future to the Back, Project Constellation, Rocket Gatler, Frostfire, Return to Sender, Deals, Reclamation Mitigation, Arrows’ Last Hurrah

Zyge spent (9 total, 8 compression events before you face the 10th bar, and also the free one from the Talent threshold):
1 in Shard Stash: Additional Housing
1 in Slam Club: Fire Breath
2 in GPL: Timeshift Impact*
2 in Archery Range for Zybellium Arrows.
2 in Garden: One to build and another for Flower Power
1 in Rock Analysis Lab: Reclamation Nullification
*I’m unclear if the second one would be better used elsewhere. I was considering Rocket Vulnerability.

Gnorps and upgrades:
House of Shards: every building
The Express (35 gnorps, could be less but it’ll take longer): no inspiration, ~30ish capacity, max speed, 60% GEET is showing (only 50% purchased), breaktime, delivery rush
Slam Club (25 gnorps): Runner Inspiration, NO WARM UPS, max combo chance, Fire Breath, meditation set to off.
GPL (25 gnorps): Timeshift Impact x1-3, Ultra Boost, Concentration
Archery Range: Zybe, but buy fire + ice for free housing
Rock Analysis Lab: all upgrades
Gun vs Rock: 6 gunners purchased, set to ice, 0 Gatlegnorp, Grenade Launcher, Sticky Floral Residue
Shrine: Power
Garden: Green only, flower power, enriched puke
Rockets: 6x+6y

no drones, mountaineers, zygnorps, but I built the buildings for housing
