  • ● 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 Tourist Chariot is best classified as Component. At 6g 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: Situational — based on efficiency 5 and cost 6g.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Battle Balloon (score 2 • shared tags: Vehicle, Shield).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (5) is a *space ROI* signal, not raw DPS. This usually means it needs support pieces and correct timing to justify the slots. 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.

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: 6g Est. Rounds: ~1 Model: cost ÷ (eff×2)

Positioning Guide
