Quick Facts Modes & Routes
  • Start with the reward target, then match team readiness.
  • Recheck route notes after patches or event changes.
  • Use calculators when a stage fails by damage or timing.

Fast answer

Focused boss pressure, base DPS testing, and whether Scrap Pirate or a stronger older unit fits the run. This page is a decision route, not a promise that one unit is always best. Use it with the unit database, DPS calculator, and your own in-game upgrade screen.

Damage check

Compare effective damage and SPA in the calculator before judging a unit by rarity.

Trait check

Reroll only when the unit is staying in your Boss Rush plan and the trait changes a real clear or trade goal.

Value check

Current-update units can spike early. Use demand, route access, and upgrade readiness before trading.

Fallback check

If a new unit is unavailable, compare older high-DPS or high-range units that already fit your account.
