How I decide
«Midas is a promise of future resources paid for with strength now.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The game offers time and safe targets for regular Transmute use.
- 02 My decision
- I assess whether the team can survive the purchase period and do not miss suitable uses afterwards.
- 03 What I avoid
- Try to save a fight being lost right now with an item for future economy.
When I would buy it
Only if the expected pace of the game lets me use Transmute regularly.
