Shop tiers, investments and components
An item’s tier tells you its place in the price structure, not whether it solves your next problem. Shop investment bonuses also depend on spending in a category. Compare the complete purchase with the fight you need to take, rather than buying the highest tier you can afford.
Choose an immediate job
Decide whether the next item supplies damage, a way to reach the target, recovery or a response to control. A smaller active can unlock a fight that a larger stat purchase still loses. Inspect component paths so the next upgrade fits the inventory you already have.
Use category bonuses without chasing them blindly
Weapon, vitality and spirit investment reward spending differently, and their benefits are not a simple identical bonus per item. A category threshold can influence a close choice, but should not override an urgent answer to the enemy’s actual threat.
