How To Use This Hub
Strategy pages connect drafting, route selection, upgrades, shops, and potions. The useful question is not which option is strongest in isolation, but which option improves the next set of fights while preserving a route to boss scaling.
Use the current branch label before applying patch-sensitive advice. Then identify the deck's weakest job: front-loaded damage, block, scaling, draw, energy, or area damage. Prioritize the page that addresses that job rather than reading by popularity alone.
Compare the guide recommendation with exact card, relic, and monster data in the database. Facts belong in the reference pages; the strategy articles explain when those facts matter during a run.
