How to unlock the Lucky Amplifier achievement in DPS Idle - Definitive Guide

Method:

Updated. I can't comment because TA won't let me, but thank you for the feedback, I have incorporated it below :)

Reports have been coming in that the achievement will also unlock when you hire the first hero, the Hunter. You will need to "silver" the first deck eight times to do this (no small feat when the multiplier is so broken).

Below I recommend the first deck, as some decks (like the daily login one) don't unlock the achievement when you get the four boosts required on a card.

VERY random.

On the first deck, quickly skip past the hog (second enemy) as soon as you can. Keep playing the game as normal, saving up your leaves, until you get the opportunity to turn a card silver. Along the top row of cards are a couple that let you increase the chances of getting leaves from the enemies which drop them - turn THIS card silver. Now, go back to fighting the hog and watch the leaves roll in!

Gather up all the leaves you can, and click on the small number above the "boost" button on the right hand side of the screen until it shows "99" (purely for convenience). Then start hitting the boost button itself! This will add small boosts to a random card's stats from your current deck, as signalled by a small sword icon in the corner of a card. Each card can have several of these.

Keep on clicking the boost until the RNG gives you four boosts on one card, and that's it! Achievement unlocked. Again though, this is VERY random and there's no way to influence where the boost goes.

This achievement can unlock even if you haven't gotten the card yet, as the boost can be applied to cards you haven't earned. So just click away until you get it.

The above method IS what you need to do. That is the solution. Downvote the RNG, not me ^_^

Easy may be an overstatement, as it is entirely luck based. I got this quickly on Xbox but on Windows I've gone through 6 progressive resets without getting lucky enough with my leaves to get 4 upgrades on a single card. This includes upgrading the cards that increase leaf drop chance and saving up kills on things that drop leaves. Each run eventually runs out of chances due to the escalating enemy HP. I didn't thumbs-down btw, but can understand why someone might be frustrated by this solution.

OK, here is my tip to make it "easy"...beat the 1st hog (that gives leaves) as few times as possible and advance past them. Do high DPS to earn gold and put the 4 extra leaf cards Silver. When you are around 10m dps (without magic) go back to the low level hog and watch the leaves roll in.

My 1st try with this got me 399 leaves, I put the upgrade to 99 and didn't get a single one to 2. 2nd try I set the upgrade to 3, had over 400, and got it pretty quickly (before spending half my leaves).

RNG is def a factor, and obviously the game is "easy" since you idle most of it. Still, I understand the negative votes as "play the game and it's easy" doesn't really help anyone.

Yep, that is the method I used and got it on my 2nd try for Xbox. It took 12 runs over 3 days on Windows, but that is the nature of randomness!

Thank you so much buddy. I just unlocked the Hunter for rolling over the first deck eight times and it unlocked. Finally completed this crap.

Learned the hard way the cards from Daily Chests do not count towards this. Hit 4th boost on Hydra today and got nothing for it :'(

Took a few tries and resets, but I finally got the RNG to register in my favor. Thumbs up.

How do you hire a hero

The first hero is unlocked after you get a certain number of silver cards (I can't remember how many). The easiest way to get silver cards is to keep opening daily chests. Every 7th day, you get one silver card for free.

Finally! Like others have said, just keep doing the resets and it eventually turned RNG heaven and I got the cheevo. Nearly 5 hours in the end, but had all bar this one in the first 1 and a bit hours 😂

Thumbs up from me but..... dumb question "Along the top row of cards are a couple that let you increase the chances of getting leaves from the enemies which drop them - turn THIS card silver." I don't see any thing like this in my game? First set of cards in the first chest at the beginning? Haven't seen on 2nd chest or after I silver a card. I will look again but what am I doing wrong?

@Troyoy You're looking for the Hunter cards on the top row for the first chest. There's four of them starting from the fifth card in from the left.

I got achievement on both versions when I hired a hero. Hope this is a glitch in a good way.

@Dalimbak
So all you had to do is hire a hero for the achievement to unlock? Do you know which hero you did? The closest one for me looks like upgrading the first deck twice more.

What complicates this, is the fact the reset multiplier does not work. Almost as if there is malicious intent to defraud by the developers. This is a Windows port of a game that doesn't do this there. So they knowingly put up a version on xbox that deceives you by telling you your multiplier will increase, but it actually reduces. Making you think you must buy red gems. Free or not, it's dishonest. The fact it doesn't do this on Windows, and is a glaringly obvious math mistake.... You cannot contribute to mistakes what is probably malice. I don't doubt a minute they knew this bug was there to sell gems.

Took me 3 hours to get it on PC version, but only 30 minutes on console. Ironically I was able to get TWO cards up to Level 4 on my lucky run. Talk about good fortunate!

Also, @neeker75's method of unlocking the first hero may be an alternative to those that don't want to bother with RNG. Just play the game for a few minutes every 12 hours upgrading the first deck to Silver when possible. After 8 Silvers, you can get a the first Hero which pops the achievement.

So yeah, either play 1-8 hours hoping for a good RNG or play more casually over a days to weeks to get it. Up to you.

In the Challenge tab, there is no a quest to upgrade a card to Level 8. If the Desert Water Games doesn't want to piss of the achievement people, they wont make that an achievement in a future title update....

Small technique for those who have not yet launched DPS Idle or who have launched it, but you cannot manage to have the achievement of boosting a card 4 times, because this is based on luck so once you have reached minimum 312 leafs you boost if you had not done it you do Xbox button quit the game does not make you directly Manage the add-ons you delete your save from the console not everywhere this will make you quit the game automatically and when you go on the games you always had your 312 leafs repeat the manipulation I do it 5 times and after the 6th time it works.

This sounds like a good solution, but I honestly don't really understand. Could you re-write step by step?

Worked a charm for me. One tip I would add is upgrade the card(s) to Silver which gives more % of getting a leaf to make this quicker.

Yes, here are the steps

steps 1: launch the game then farm up to 312 leafs

steps 2: Once you have 312 leafs, try to have all 4 boosts on a single card


steps 3: If you failed in steps 2 do not exit the games do "manage add-ons" then delete your save from the console, the games will close, you relaunch the games and you still had your 312 leafs repeat this until to have the 4 boosts on a single card

Well, actually this way worked for me, and has nothing to do with the ones above or the description itself.
For unlocking this I have to have 8 silver cards on the first set, which would unlock the first hero.
At that very exact moment the achievement unlocked for me, on the Windows version too.
Being capable to unlock just 8 silver cards upgrading them get you this.
Perhaps the other methods above work too but, I was not able to replicate, due RNG and leaf number not enough to do it, and fall into the right cards. You don't need luck for this.

Just trying to help here, not saying that the other methods do not work, perhaps this game is so cheap that they did not checked and could be patched in the future.

1. Try to get a card to level 3 as early as you can.
2. Get a lot of leaves (+100) by killing the boar or dendroid, (etc.).
3. When you are in a good state, shut the game down, so the current save uploads to cloud, so it is stored in Xbox Live.
4. Start the game again. Now, press the boost-button and use all the leaves you can and try to get the level 3 card to level 4.
5. If it fails, press the Xbox-button, go to Manage game and add-ons, go to Saved data and delete it (only local data, not everywhere, if that is an option)
6. Now start the game again. The cloud save restores your leaves. Try to boost the card to level 4 again.
7. Keep repeating steps 4 to 6 until the achievement unlocks.
