8 matches Salvage upgrade decision planner
Upgrade decision · Tank

Use this route when repeated traversal or repositioning blocks the mission job.
- Upgrade system
- Tank
- Failure fixed
- Movement
- Priority gate
- High
Player job
Decide whether the tank spend fixes movement.
Use now
Compare the same path before and after the Tank-focused spend.

Use a recovery-focused Tank test when the loadout reaches the fight but cannot reset safely.
- Upgrade system
- Tank
- Failure fixed
- Recovery
- Priority gate
- Test
Player job
Decide whether the tank spend fixes recovery.

Current version Gadget wave-control upgrade
Upgrade the Gadget that repeatedly controls lanes, clusters, or approaching waves.
- Upgrade system
- Gadget
- Failure fixed
- Wave pressure
- Priority gate
- High
Player job
Decide whether the gadget spend fixes wave pressure.

A flashy Gadget can look strong without solving the repeated wave pattern.
Upgrade decision · Gadget
Current version Gadget boss-pressure test
Use this route when the mission has a clear boss window but the current tool adds little value.
- Upgrade system
- Gadget
- Failure fixed
- Boss pressure
- Priority gate
- Test
Player job
Decide whether the gadget spend fixes boss pressure.
Use now
Hold the Gadget for the same readable boss opening on two attempts.

Upgrade decision · Weapon
Current version Weapon coverage upgrade
The weapon spend is strongest when it fills a missing range, armor, or sustained-pressure job.
- Upgrade system
- Weapon
- Failure fixed
- Boss pressure
- Priority gate
- High
Player job
Decide whether the weapon spend fixes boss pressure.
Use now
Name the missing coverage before choosing the weapon path.
Safe next action
Save the upgrade only after the same failure appears in more than one raid.
Risk
Buying a second weapon that duplicates the same range leaves the blocker intact.
Upgrade decision · Gear
Current version Gear recovery upgrade
Gear should support the route that already works instead of replacing basic movement and mission reading.
- Upgrade system
- Gear
- Failure fixed
- Recovery
- Priority gate
- Hold
Player job
Decide whether the gear spend fixes recovery.
Use now
Hold the spend until the failure repeats with a stable Tank, weapon, and Gadget.

Save the upgrade only after the same failure appears in more than one raid.
Risk
Early gear spending can hide which loadout system is actually weak.
Upgrade decision · Hideout
Current version Hideout utility upgrade
Hideout improvements matter when they shorten or stabilize the repeated raid-to-upgrade loop.
- Upgrade system
- Hideout
- Failure fixed
- Recovery
- Priority gate
- Hold
Player job
Decide whether the hideout spend fixes recovery.
Use now
Choose the facility change that removes a repeated preparation delay.
Safe next action
Save the upgrade only after the same failure appears in more than one raid.
Risk
Facility value is low when the raid route itself is still unstable.
Upgrade decision · Weapon
Current version New blueprint comparison
A new blueprint deserves a controlled test against the proven answer.
- Upgrade system
- Weapon
- Failure fixed
- Wave pressure
- Priority gate
- Test
Player job
Decide whether the weapon spend fixes wave pressure.
Use now
Run the old and new option against the same mission job before replacing the stable route.
Safe next action
Save the upgrade only after the same failure appears in more than one raid.
Risk
Novelty can consume salvage without producing a better result.
No matching upgrade route
Try Tank, Gadget, weapon, movement, waves, boss, or recovery.
Failure recovery
Recover after salvage was spent on the wrong system
Do not chase the cost with another immediate purchase; return to the failure the upgrade was meant to fix.
- 1Restate the original symptom
Movement, waves, boss pressure, and recovery need different investments.
- 2Run the upgraded system once
Confirm whether the named job changed at all.
- 3Keep the useful part
Retain any improvement that serves the route and stop spending around the rest.
- 4Rebuild salvage margin
Repeat a stable raid before testing the next purchase.
Decision table
Spend only where the raid failure repeats
Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.
| Situation | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One bad run creates the upgrade idea | Hold | A single result may be route error rather than system weakness. |
| The same job fails twice | Prioritize the matching system | Repeated evidence supports the spend. |
| A blueprint duplicates existing coverage | Test before replacing | The new option may add no mission value. |
| The loadout already clears consistently | Save salvage | A stable answer creates room for a later informed upgrade. |
