ⓘ 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 Incendiary Rounds 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: Athanor (score 2 • shared tags: AmmoReference, Burn).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (40) is a *space ROI* signal, not raw DPS. This usually means it can carry a board plan if you can protect space and scale it. If you’re behind on board stability, delay the purchase until you can immediately benefit from it.

Board Flexibility

Because it is Small, you can pivot into it with minimal disruption. This is ideal when you need to keep options open while scouting opponents.
