Read the trigger
Separate effects that are always active from those that depend on timing, health state, weapon behavior, or a successful defense.
Estimate realistic uptime
A large bonus with rare uptime may contribute less than a modest effect that supports every exchange.
Check the opportunity cost
Ask what defensive or utility effect is lost when chasing damage. The correct answer changes with the encounter.
Evidence policy
This guide will add named locations and drop sources only after direct verification or a stable primary source. It will not turn launch-week speculation into a farming table.
