💡 Pro Tips for Gear Optimization
🎯 Brand Strategy
Choose gear brands that favor your desired abilities. Favored abilities cost only 10 chunks instead of 20, saving significant resources over time.
🎫 Drink Ticket Efficiency
Use drink tickets strategically for expensive abilities or when you need multiple copies. They double the chance of getting the desired ability for 20 battles.
⚖️ Balanced Builds
Don't focus on just one ability. Balanced builds with 2-3 main ability types often perform better than pure stacking builds.
🔄 Scrubbing Strategy
Scrub gear at 2 stars for maximum chunk efficiency. You'll get more chunks back, making it easier to rebuild your perfect gear.
📊 Meta Awareness
Stay updated with current weapon meta. Popular weapons often require specific gear builds for optimal performance.
🎮 Mode-Specific Builds
Create different gear sets for different game modes. Ranked modes often benefit from different ability priorities than Turf War.
