What each tier is worth

Each rung grants what the rung below it does, plus the effects counted here.

MECHANICS

Read at bronze. This ability gains effects as it climbs — the ones it picks up at this tier are marked. Triggers and shutdowns are shown at every tier because the data does not say which tier gates them — not because the game treats them the same.
