How I decide
«Staff helps when its three resources work together.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The hero needs both attacks and mana regeneration on the way to a specific upgrade.
- 02 My decision
- I compare the component with a completed purchase for the immediate task, then follow the chosen path.
- 03 What I avoid
- Expect active silence from a bundle of stats before Orchid is completed.
When I would buy it
On the way to a specific upgrade, rather than replacing an urgently needed completed item.

What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
