Port
Key Takeaways
  • ● Component — strongest when purchased with a plan, not as a blind buy.
  • ● High board cost: 3 slots means this affects your positioning for multiple rounds.
  • ● Low placement risk: trigger is global, so disruption is less punishing.
ⓘ 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 Port is best classified as Component. At 12g and 3 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. Large footprint means you must plan around board compression and sequencing.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Buy — based on efficiency 11 and cost 12g.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Captain's Quarters (score 3 • shared tags: Aquatic, Property, AmmoReference).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (11) 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.

Opportunity Cost

Because it is Large, you’re paying in board space. Plan your next 2–3 rounds so you don’t choke your sequencing or block key triggers.

Market Competition

Within the 12g price bracket, Port competes directly with Balcony and Dooltron Mainframe .

Compared to its closest rival, Port has a score gap of -11.0 . As a Component, it provides niche efficiency for Property builds.

Market Analysis

Cost: 12g • Price percentile: 26% (Property pool) • Season 10
ⓘ Method

Compared to similar Property items, this sits around the 26th cost percentile. Use efficiency (11) and role (Component) to decide if it matches your build plan.

Efficiency: 11 Role: Component Slots: 3

Investment ROI

Estimated break-even: ~1 rounds
ⓘ Method

This is a heuristic estimate (not raw DPS). If you want it to matter, buy early enough to get multiple trigger windows before the board locks.

Timing hint: strongest when purchased before ~round 7 (due to 3 slot footprint).
Cost: 12g Est. Rounds: ~1 Model: cost ÷ (eff×2)

Positioning Guide

Trigger: global • Risk: None • Check: No

Optimal Layout

No positioning requirement (global effect).
Port

Placement does not change whether the effect triggers.

Why Placement Matters

Placement errors won’t nullify Port. Focus on board space and upgrade timing instead of slot order.

Strategic Q&A

Is Port worth buying early game?

"With a cost of 12g, this is typically a priority pickup. In early rounds, focus on board stability before committing to this Large item."

Does positioning matter for Port?

"No — this is a global item. Placement won’t affect whether it triggers. Optimize for slot efficiency and keep your grid open for higher-impact pieces."
