- Start with the content you want to play, not a universal tier list.
- Upgrade the whole team’s function before pushing one damage number.
- Date any version-specific build note you save.
In this article
01 / Start from the content you play
Story, exploration, and timed combat ask for different levels of optimization. Match your upgrade plan to the activity you actually want to enjoy.
Example: For story and exploration, a comfortable rotation matters more than a spreadsheet-perfect build made for a different mode.
- Write the team’s job in one sentence before spending materials.
02 / Upgrade the whole team’s function
A strong team is more than one large number. Make sure the character who applies elements, heals, shields, or buffs can perform that job consistently before pushing the main damage build further.
Example: If a support character is missing the energy, healing, shielding, or reaction setup the team depends on, that is the next upgrade problem.
- Fix the weakest role in the rotation before adding a new character project.
03 / Use reliable references for version-specific details
Character kits and event availability change over time. For current details, use official news and in-game descriptions, and attach a date to any build note you save.
Example: When official notices change an event or character detail, update your saved build note rather than assuming the old version still applies.
- Re-check official news and in-game descriptions when a version changes.
