ⓘ Data & Methodology (How scores are calculated) Season 10

Efficiency: Efficiency Score is a normalized "space ROI" metric: (estimated effect value ÷ size slots). It is NOT raw DPS.

ROI: ROI estimates assume standard round pacing and compare this item against same-tier peers by cost and slot usage.

Percentile: Percentiles are computed within the same category/tier bucket (e.g., Tech items at similar cost).

Meta Strategic Position

The Arken's Ring is best classified as Component. At 16g and 1 slot(s), it’s a placement-safe (global) item where timing matters.

Low-to-mid cost means it can be used as a tempo stabilizer if it fits your board plan. Low footprint makes it easy to slot in without breaking your grid.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Buy — based on efficiency 40 and cost 16g.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Admiral's Badge (score 1 • shared tags: Apparel).
