Upgrades
Refunds: Fully refundable with zero penalty or resource cost, enabling dynamic optimization restructuring.
Strategy: Prioritize enemy density and encounter frequency over raw stat increases for superior long-term yields.
| Upgrade | Effect | Priority | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Even More Ghosts Mimic Locks | Adds +1/2/3 extra ghosts whenever a ghost encounter triggers. | Highest | Massively increases monster density — best for XP, currency, drops, and portal progression. |
| More Ghosts Mimic Locks | Increases baseline ghost spawn probability on standard kills. | High | Synergizes with density upgrades; strong second investment when top tiers get expensive. |
| More Drops Mimic Locks | Improves quantity and quality of non-event drops from Ghosts, including talent cards and cooldown buffs. | Medium | Reliable booster, but less impactful than density upgrades that multiply total kills. |
| Vigor Buff Buff Mimic Locks | Permanently steps up Vigor Buff yields by +5% gold and XP per level, up to 2× total. | Low | Strong during active buff windows, but outclassed by density investments across all playtime. |
| More Elites Mimic Locks | Increases baseline World Elite Mimic spawn rate per kill. | Negligible | Mostly redundant due to retroactive Mimic Lock caps; mainly for late-start catch-up. |
