Emerald rush question
I just got the dlc like 2 days ago cuz I was curious about it. Man it’s addictive as hell, but it also gives me a lot of stress. I know you can hit rank V and I managed this one time on DK island and almost a second time at the resort layer. Is there any benefit to rank V? Cuz I’m not that great at snake bananza and I tried the snake combo build but it didn’t give me really great results. So far ba-none-za is better for me at this stage I feel. I read a few strategy guides and they helped me a lot.
But is there any reward (except the satisfaction) of getting rank V everywhere? It’d be great to hit 99k emerald one day but maybe I should not expect this after 2 days of playing the dlc. Very excited for the next event tho, hopefully I’ll have radiance layer unlocked by then.
Also for the players who do hit max emeralds, is luck/RNG part of the runs? Sometimes I have good perks in the early rounds but other times even when blocking I still get bad stuff.
ETA: another qn about the chips. Do the amount of chips you accumulate during the run correlate with the amount you get as a reward? Because sometimes in the last run I just spend the rest of them on skills because I saw you get chips for amount of skills unlocked. Or do you get a bonus the more green chips you find?
