TIER LADDER

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.
