How to use Global picks (the reliable shortlist)
Global items are placement-safe. When your board is cramped or you’re behind, they keep value without precise positioning.
Early wins come from slot efficiency. If two items are close, pick the one with lower slot pressure so you don’t block future upgrades.
Global picks buy you time. Once stable, open item guides to see recommended synergies and convert stability into a win condition.

FAQ
Global items are placement-safe: mispositioning won’t nullify value. They reduce execution risk when you’re stabilizing.
Not always. Some positioning-sensitive items have higher ceilings, but Global picks are more consistent and easier to execute.
Use it as a reliable shortlist. Start with Stabilizers (≤10g), then move to Commit buys only when your plan supports them.
