TIER LADDER

What each tier is worth

Every rung grants the same effects — this ladder changes how far they reach, not what they do.

WHERE IT APPLIES

The band Slot-O-Matic works inside

This is what the ladder buys — the band moves at every rung, and the effects do not. Read at bronze.
up to 8 yards from the LoS

MECHANICS

The same at every tier. Madden 27 gives this ability one set of effects and moves the band they work inside, rather than adding new ones at silver or gold. 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.
