I have done the UAC and would like to help those tortured souls who went into the UAC. Proof:   The guide will look as it follows: 1. **Introduction** [UAC00] 1. What is the UAC? [UAC01] 2.

TL;DR [UAC26] **Introduction** [UAC00] Hello there, I have recently started the UAC because a new game of my favorite franchise was about to be released, so I thought to myself: “Well, I might aswell do the UAC.” **What is the “UAC”?** [UAC01] The UAC or Ultimate Arty Challenge is a challenge that is supposed to be hard and take quite a while. It is somewhat rewarding, but not the best choice to do. Here is what you do in the UAC: Almost everything you have will be completely reset, except for the following things: - Clone Dividers - Statistic Multipliers - Pets Everything else will be reset, this includes: - God Multiplier - Multipliers in general - God Power - Skill uses - Things bought from God Power (such as Creation Speed) - etc… The Goal of the UAC is to beat Baal within 5 Rebirths (The first one counting aswell, which is why it says 4 in the Tooltip.) This means you will have to take your time with rebirthing and get as many multipliers, achievements and so on as you can before you head into the next rebirth. Also you won’t be able to open any Lucky Draws during the UAC (You still are able to receive your daily ticket and open it after the UAC, however.) **Why would I do it?** [UAC02] Here is a list of things why you might wanna do the UAC, even though it sounds crazy: - The Pet Turtle (You can unlock it with a Pet Token otherwise) - A Sign. - You want to have a challenge - You won’t be playing active for a very long time (e.g. because of a new game, like me) - A ton of one-caps (Can also be achieved without the UAC, however) If none of these are reason enough for you to do it, feel free not to as you won’t really miss out on anything. **When should I do it?** [UAC03] Right after you’ve beaten Baal for the first time. The most rewarding thing about the UAC is the massive amount of onecapped skill, since your rebirthes will take very long, which leaves your special fighting / auto special fighting plenty of time to level up your skills and reduce your clone amount required to onecap them. **Active Gameplay** [UAC10] Well you might already be wondering what the difference between “Active” and “Passive” Gameplay in an idlegame is, here is what I mean by those two: _Active:_ Doing Special Fighting by yourself (or maybe an autoclicker or whatever other means you would like to use.) _Passive:_ Leaving Special Fighting on Auto I have chosen to play actively, because I was curious how fast one could onecap all of the skills when Special Fighting manually. I am also putting a subguide on Special Fighting, which you should check out, if you choose to play actively. Just search for the code at the top of the Post to find it faster. **The first Rebirth** Within the first Rebirth there’s a lot to do. The best case would be to have every skill onecapped before finishing the first rebirth, for that I will again be referring to my subguide about Special Fighting. At the very beginning, you should put all of your clons into Mystic and unlock every Skill there is. Once you do have all of the Skills, you can either start killing off your clones in order to reach the clonecap or you can go and unlock Might, however you should be careful with putting clones into Physical for now, since you want to die in one hit when fighting Doppelganger in Special Fighting. It is going to take a while until you are able to kill the first God, however this doesn’t have to bother you since you should keep creating clones all the time until you have the clonecap. You might be thinking: “Why keep creating clones? Creation increases my Attack and Health, it also helps me create clones faster for the Clonecap!” Well the reason behind this is very simple. The Bonus for creation speed from creating is way too low at the early stages of the game, we’re talking of a maximum of about 20% between the start of the first rebirth and the end of it with having all the achievements in creation. You also should not put any God Power into Creation Speed, you will have enough time every rebirth to create all of your clones and grind out all of the achievements without having to worry about it being to slow. God Power is just too valuable during the UAC to be wasted like that. Going on with the rebirth, by the time you have beaten the 3rd God, you will have 3 God Power, which you should spend on increasing your clone cap by 1000 immediately, as this will double your progress speed for skills and Might. Reaching all of the Onecaps takes about 15~20 days if done very actively. However, in order to get the onecaps this fast, you will have to use a trick I will also explain in my Subguide. Once you have got all of your onecaps you can go ahead and put 28 Clones into Mystic and Physical total (1 into every training) and grind out your 10m achievements. These will take about 3~4 days and will greatly improve your multipliers. With the stats you have by now, you can easily beat up the Gods up to Hathor. Since you are playing active, you should also go for Pontus, who will take about 2~3 more days, but that’s still a reasonable grind. Things you have by now: - Killed every God up to and including Pontus - 100999 Clone cap - 10m achievements in Physical Training - 10m achievements in Mystic Training - About 4~8 Level in every Stat of Might (I had only 4 because I unlocked Might a little late) - As many Creation Achievements as you can get within time - Some 10m Battle Achievements from those where you only needed 1 clone to beat them (takes the same time as your phys achievements, so feel free to dump some clones in there) The last 2 points aren’t really neccessary, but you can go and get them if you have some time and clones left while grinding out the last achievements for physical and mystic or beating Pontus. Once you have done all this, you are ready to head dive into the next rebirth. **The second Rebirth** [UAC12] First thing to do in this rebirth: - Put 28 Clones into Physical and Mystic training. - Turn on Next at. If you’re lazy put it to 13500 and leave it there. - Other → Settings → Ignore Clone Count ON 1 (This will leave 1 clone in every training, which is enough since all skills are onecapped) Creating all of your clones will take about 1 day, once you are done with that, start creating everything else for the achievements and always keep creating the highest creation available, once you have got all of the achievements. You should start off with stones though, since you will need some in order to get your first Mighty Statues to beat Nephtys. Once you can buy creations, you won’t have any problem getting your stuff for those monuments. Due to Special Fighting, you will have enough Divinity, nothing to worry about. As soon as you have beaten Nephtys, go and get your Divinity Generator. This speeds up your Divinity gain by A LOT. Just dump in some creations until the divinity generator takes about a minute to empty itself and then do some Special Fighting while there’s stuff in the div gen. A few special fights and your gen will be full and last for some hours and you won’t have to worry about Divinity for the rest of this rebirth. When you have all of your clones, some Monuments and your div gen running, you should invest some time in Might. Goals for might are as it follows: - about 40~50 in every stat - about 40~60 seconds of unleash - about 100~150 points in Physical Attack % (This would leave you with about 125%~175% of attack for phys instead of 25%) For your God Power: Put everything into Physical. Once you have gained 10 God Power, you can put those into Building Speed, this will greatly help you if you are going for Eros. Even if you aren’t going to kill Eros, this will be helpful within the next rebirth. You have to kill at least Artemis. If you think Eros can be done quickly, go ahead and kill her aswell. I didn’t kill Pontus because I thought waiting one day would not be worth it, so Eros took me about a whole week, which isn’t a reasonable grind. But with Pontus down in the first rebirth, it should be possible within 3~4 days, which is still reasonable. You will have Artemis down within 1~2 days, so you will have to grind out those achievements in Physical and Mystic before rebirthing anyways. Do keep in mind, that in order to kill Eros you will also have to build some more monuments, which also takes some time. You also shouldn’t just build the same monument all the time as the time they take might skyrocket very fast. That’s what your Monuments should look like: Mighty Statue: 10~100 (depending on how many you need for Nephtys) Mystic Garden: 1~10 (again depending on Nephtys) Tomb of Gods: 1 Everlasting lighthouse: 1 Godly Statue: 5~ for Artemis, 20~ for Eros Pyramids of Power: 5~ for Artemis, 20~ for Eros Temple of God: 5~ for Artemis, 20~ for Eros _And whatever you do, don’t try to go for Freya. Although the Upgrades for Monuments do look appealing, the grind would take a few weeks and is far from worth it._ To sum up Rebirth 2: - All achievements in Creation up to the last one you have unlocked (This time it is important, since it now starts giving a decent bonus towards creating your clones) - All achievements in Physical and Mystic training - All the Gods up to and including either Artemis or Eros - About 40~50 in every stat of Might If you have got everything above, you’re good to go. Have fun in the 3rd rebirth. **The third Rebirth** [UAC13] This rebirth you will unlock Upgrades for your Monuments. Upgrades are pretty expensive, so you will have to get your Div gen as soon as possible and upgrade it to level 1 or 2. Also do some Special Fighting in order to get that Divinity and only Upgrade Mighty Statue and Godly Statue. Otherwise there isn’t much to say about this rebirth, so here’s to sum it up: - Beat every God up to and including Susano O or Zeus (if you have time left and think the grind is worth it. Not neccessary though.) - Again all achievements in Creation, Physical and Mystic - About the same amount of Might as last rebirth With that you’re good to go. **The fourth rebirth** [UAC14] There’s nothing new in this rebirth, so let’s just sum it up: - As always get all the Achievements. - Same Might as last rebirth - All Gods up to and including Odin or Amaterasu **The last rebirth** [UAC15] Time to beat Baal. There’s nothing left to say, get everything as high as possible, until you are able to beat Baal. There’s no rebirths left, so either you do it or you screw it. After that, have fun with your stuff and congratulations. **TL;DR** [UAC16] RB1: - Beat Hathor/Pontus - Clone Cap - All Onecaps - All Phys and Mystic Achievements - buy 1000 clones for 3 GP to double your speed - about 5~10 Might in every Stat RB2: - Beat Artemis/Eros - All Phys and Mystic Achievements - About 50 Might in every Stat, 100 for Physical Attack% and 30~60 seconds of Unleash RB3: - Beat Susano O/Zeus - All Phys and Mystic Achievements - About 20 Might in every Stat, 50 for Physical Attack% and 15~30 seconds of Unleash - Grind for as many Godly statue/Pyramids of power/Temple of gods Upgrades as possible - Do Special Fighting for Divinity RB4: - Beat Amaterasu - Get about ~1E36/1 Undecillion rebirth mult in phys - All Phys and Mystic Achievements - About 20 Might in every Stat, 50 for Physical Attack% and 15~30 seconds of Unleash - Grind for as many Godly statue/Pyramids of power/Temple of gods Upgrades as possible - Do Special Fighting for Divinity RB5: - Beat Baal **Important Note!** I did the UAC before the Pyramid & Temple of Gods buff, you should use these instead of Godly Statue if possible!

**Special Fighting** [UAC17] This is the part which makes the Active Gameplay a lot easier. Special Fighting helps you to fasten your skill-leveling and grants you absurd amounts of Divinity. Those are also the two points this subguide is split into. _Getting Divinity:_ In order to get the most Divinity from Special Fighting, let’s see what matters: - The Divinity you gain/s - Highest God and Monster beaten So in order to get as much Divinity as possible, you will want: - A running Div Gen, don’t forget to upgrade it and fill it at any time. - Clones in Battle (I usually leave any Monster capped as long as the cap is lower than 1000) - Beat the strongest Monster and Boss you can (This can be done by using unleash, even for Monsters. Just dump all of your 100k Clones into the Strongest Monster and see if you can beat it) For who you want to fight and which tactic you should use, I would recommend beating Gods and using low cooldown skills which have a high %chance to hit. (e.g. Shadow First, Invisible Hand) The others will just take too long, since you will probably have a high amount of Mystic by the time you are doing Special Fighting for Divinity and since Mystic is useless for you here but still makes the enemies (except for Gods!) stronger, this is bad. _Leveling your Skills:_ First off, the most important thing which makes this even work: Mystic increases the overall power of the enemies in Special Fighting. This means when you have a lot more Mystic than anything that gives you life, your enemies will have a ton of attack. But Mystic does not give HP regeneration or defense in Special Fighting, which means an enemy like Doppelganger can easily onehit kill you. Whenever you leave the battle, by either of the following means: Winning, Losing or Fleeing, your Skill cooldowns will be reset. For fleeing there is a penalty on this, lowering every skill’s usage by one, if the remaining cooldown is above 500 milliseconds (half a second) so nobody abuses this. However, this penalty doesn’t count for winning or losing a battle. The enemy will attack every second, the global cooldown on every skill is half a second, which means you can basically use two skills with 60 seconds cooldown, die and repeat, without losing skill usages. However, there are some skills which prevent the enemy from attacking, which are the following: - Dodge - Misdirection - Clairvoyance - Teleport - Ice Wall - Reflection Barrier - God Speed - Gear Eyes Those skills are good in general Special Fighting, but bad for our purposes. You have two options of what to do with these skills: - Don’t level them, instead let the auto Special Fighting do it once you’re done with the rest of the skills - Level them first and try to fit in any other skills until your enemy kills you (I chose this one) In order to level those skills, it is also important to know that skills with the same effect will overwrite each other (e.g. Teleport gives 100% dodge chance, Dodge gives 60% dodge chance. Use Teleport → Dodge and have 60% or use Dodge → Teleport and have 100%) Since we would prefer to always take the same time for each round, we will use the higher skills last. Now this is what your Special Fight should look like: 1. Fight Doppelganger 2. Gear Eyes 3. God Speed 4. Ice Wall 5. Reflection Barrier 6. Dodge 7. Misdirection 8. Clairvoyance 9. Teleport 10. As many other skills as you can fit 11. Die 12. Repeat Whenever one of the Skills reaches the onecap in training, use a different skill. Once all of the Skills in the list above are onecapped, Special Fights should look like this: 1. Fight Doppelganger 2. Use Skill X 3. Use Skill Y 4. Die 5. Repeat This is the most efficient way of Special Fighting and can also be used if you decide to skip the dodgeskills.

**Passive Gameplay** [UAC20] I chose to play actively, so some of the things in this part of the guide might not be right. If you want to know the difference between “active” and “passive” Gameplay, take a look at the beginning of “Active Gameplay”. **The first Rebirth** [UAC21] First put all of your clones into Mystic and turn on auto Special Fighting. Once you have all Skills unlocked (Even 0 in Time Manipulation is enough) head over to Physical. Once you’ve beaten the 3rd God, invest those 3 God Power in +1000 max clones as this will double your speed. Get about 5~10 Points in every stat in Might once unlocked. Keep killing off clones in Battle in order to reach your clonecap, once reached, put no more clones in battle since it is useless. Grind as many 100k achievements as possible and for those you can cap, go up to 10m or at least 2m. Kill every God up to and including Hathor. Pontus will probably take weeks, so don’t try to go for him. Get every Creation Achievement available once you have your clonecap. **The second Rebirth** [UAC22] This rebirth your goal is to kill every God up to and including Artemis. Eros will probably be a grind of a few weeks and is not worth it. For achievements it’s the same as the last rebirth. Might should go up to 50 in all stats and about 100~150 in Physical Attack aswell as 30~60 seconds of Unleash. Create some Stones early on to get your first Mighty Statues, after Nephtys, you can buy your stuff for Monuments. By now, you should put clones into Battle whereever the cap is below 1000 clones. You will need some divinity for your monuments. Build the Divinity Generator as soon as possible and keep it filled. You can probably take the clones off battle now. **The third Rebirth** [UAC23] This rebirths goal is to kill Susano O. Even though Zeus seems interesting for the div gen upgrade, he’s far from a reasonable grind. Most of the last rebirths stuff applies here aswell, but this rebirth you should level up your divinity Generator to about level 2 or 3 in order to get the divinity you need for your Monument Upgrades you will unlock by killing Freya. **The fourth Rebirth** [UAC24] Mostly the same as the last rebirth, but other Gods. Nothing interesting here right now. **The last Rebirth** [UAC25] Time to beat Baal. There’s nothing left to say, get everything as high as possible, until you are able to beat Baal. There’s no rebirths left, so either you do it or you screw it. After that, have fun with your stuff and congratulations. **TL;DR** [UAC26] RB1: - Beat Hathor - Clone Cap - Phys and Mystic Achievements for all onecaps to 10m, all other try to reach 100k - buy 1000 clones for 3 GP to double your speed - about 5~10 Might in every Stat RB2: - Beat Artemis - Phys Achievements for all onecaps to 10m, for Mystic 2m - About 50 Might in every Stat, 100 for Physical Attack% and 30~60 seconds of Unleash RB3: - Beat Susano O - Phys Achievements for all onecaps to 10m, for Mystic 2m - About 50 Might in every Stat, 100 for Physical Attack% and 30~60 seconds of Unleash - Grind for as many Godly statue/Pyramids of power/Temple of gods Upgrades as possible - Get some Mighty Statue Upgrades if others are too expensive RB4: - Beat Amaterasu (Should be doable) - Get about ~1E36/1 Undecillion rebirth mult in phys - Phys Achievements for all onecaps to 10m, for Mystic 2m - About 50 Might in every Stat, 100 for Physical Attack% and 30~60 seconds of Unleash - Grind for as many Godly statue/Pyramids of power/Temple of gods Upgrades as possible RB5: - Beat Baal **Important Note!** I did the UAC before the Pyramid & Temple of Gods buff, you should use these instead of Godly Statue if possible! I will appreciate any contributions towards this thread, any opinion or suggestions are welcome. **Changelog** _21/08/2016:_ - Added Changelog - Added suggested Rebirth Mult before heading into the last rebirth

Also important to consider. Don’t do a UAC.

also something to consider: for extremist challenge there is option of UPC (Ultimate Patience Challenge) aka UAC with single rebirth:)

doing a uac right now and should be ready to rebirth this Thursday and the total time taken for this rebirth(1st one) is 19 days…is that good? i’m playing actively by the way and all of my skills are one capped

I think I should add a not to my guide that onecapping the last few skills is the most important and might even save some time if you only onecap those. (Especially the dodge skills etc take are very timeconsuming to onecap) Edit: Just added a changelog at the very bottom of the guide and suggested rebirth mults before going for the final rebirth to beat Baal.

currently am halfway through my second rebirth and from what i can tell it doesn’t seem worth it to upgrade the generator right now so is upgrading it ever worth it? or should i not worry about upgrading it?

I upgraded my generator a lot after my 2nd rebirth. I'm also VERY idle during this UAC (took my first rebirth about 35 days). Due to this, having a high capacity really helped.

sweet got a time of 37 days and an hour thanks for guide

FINALLY DONE! now, what to do with the 62 unused daily free tickets...

I've just done it with 55 days. Thanks for your guide! (memo) At rebirth 5, Rebirth multi is no longer useful. Build Mighty statues, Mystic gardens, and their upgrades.

God bless you, you insane basterad.

Good guide. Followed it now I am on Baal building the last bit of my power to take him out. Worked well.

Thanks for the great UAC guide.  Be careful if you follow the active guide. I just finished a UAC on the steam version this morning and saw it was possible to miss the pet if you finish too quickly. Following the active guide I spent roughly 16 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 1.75 days in each rebirth. RB4 took significant special fighting effort to meet the 1E36/1 multi by the 10m achieve. Found it useful to spend first night after RB with split clones to get the level 2 upgrades on Div generator as that takes about 8 hours. Other prime choices for inactive sleeping periods are physical attack% might and godly statues. Emphasizing using unleash to kill a higher level monster; it makes a huge difference in special fighting divinity. I rebirthed right after 10M achives, killed Pontus/Eros/Susano/Amaterasu and ended up having just over 1E36/1 multis and ~400% Might on RB5. I didn't get as much might on the last couple rebirths and put all GP except for first three points into build speed. Ended up killing Baal with a 20 second unleash using base 8E55 attack.

Ryu added the 32 day limit 6-9 months ago, because previously no one had completed a UAC in under 35 days without cheating. This was due to people trying to decrypt Arty's confusing and vague sayings about a wall. Now that we know it's possible to do it faster, Ryu should lower it. Make a post about it. I'll try to remember to tell him whenever I see him in chat. Grats on your fast run!

The problem was that people were posting less than minimum times. I'm sure I can get under 28 days when I do my second playthru.

The next update will be out soon. I reduced the hard limit to 2000000 sec ~23 days there.

Yes, thanks for the guide, it helped a lot.  I think it's possible to break the 23 day limit. I finished in about 15 + 3.5 + 2 + 3.5 + 1.1 days per rebirth, and gaining 2 days should be achievable. RB1 can be sped up a lot (even more than I did) by not going after all 1-caps immediately. All 1-caps generates 135416 stat points per tick (before multipliers), and top 4 is already 93303 (69%), not to mention Gear Eyes takes forever to train normally. I also lost a bit of time because I had to wait for enough stats to take down Pontus, after top 4 skills 1-capped. Still think Pontus is the correct god for RB1, but once you 1-cap say top 2, ditch Doppelganger and go fighting gods - that means you can do physical training now and get the most important achieves without 4 days after 1-caps. (I further messed up by going after Might way too early, so maybe another half day's worth of waiting for skill cooldowns as I'm not 1-shotted) RB2 takes the full time 3.5 days, all 10M achieves to take down Eros, so that probably is a wall. 40 sec unleash and about 40 might everything else. (Unknown: whether dropping a god down is useful here, see RB3) RB3 I took a 2/2 gen and full special fighting throughout. Susano-o drops relatively fast at 2 days in, and since the next god is impossible within 2 days, I simply rebirthed at that point. For this one, pump GS upgrades most of the time (you want current stats mostly I think). Agree with hratt, unleashing to kill an extra monster helps a lot in special fighting. RB4 also took a 2/2 gen and full special fighting. It took a 15/15ish ToG to take down Amaterasu (we want max rebirth stats), and that pretty much hits the 3.5 day mark (which gives 1/3 more rebirth stat). Ended up 1.6e36, which helped last rebirth. RB5, since the target time was very low, just took a 1/1 gen. That's still easily enough to get a 27/27 GS, 25 sec unleash (74% phys attack) and knock Baal in 1d1h30. Total might just around 400% as well.

i am on day 120 and i am at 4 rebirths i think i am too slow

I stumpeled acroos this guide just as i beat baal and decided to do one, but i started wondering: Is there a reason to youse dobbeltganger insted of jackylee? becouse jacky kills me in 1 hit just as doppeltganger and is rigt under the finish butten. Just wandering why doppel instead of jacky.

Is it worth to unlock planet on 4th rebirth? It's a huge waste of divinity and I'm not sure if it gives a big bonus at that level

I don't think so.i unlocked the planet thinking it would be amazing, but at that point you are really just waiting to get to 10m achievements. During that time, your clones are better spent on monuments or might to help in final rebirth. I ended up not even making one level in power surge
