How I decide
«Crystalys helps when my attacks already reach the target.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- I can reach the enemy and survival is covered, but I lack damage in my window.
- 02 My decision
- I add critical strikes and decide separately whether I need an expensive Daedalus.
- 03 What I avoid
- Buy critical strikes instead of solving misses or constant disables.
When I would buy it
