Line 1: − =Introduction= − This article aims to provide a rough guide to help you decide on what to spend screws on. − Because most improvement bonuses are "square-rooted", the first upgrade provides the largest relative gain per screw, therefore it is critical to get relevant important equipment to {{Star}}'''+1''' before working on others. − ''Please refer to: − *''[[Improvement]] for more details on the stat bonuses, − *''[https://akashi-list.me/ Akashi-List] for the costs involved. − ===The Breakpoint Myth=== − Breakpoints refer to points where upgrade bonuses reach whole numbers. These points are stressed because of the way the game rounds down the results of most formulas. The misconception is that a 1.99 bonus is just as good as a 1.00 bonus because of rounding. While there is a slight grain of truth to the myth, things get a little complex in practice. Due to how many multipliers and other bonuses are involved, trying to hit equipment upgrade breakpoints doesn't affect very much in the grand scheme of things. − − The most important thing to do is to upgrade your equipment to certain critical points: − * {{Star}}'''+1''' : Provides the biggest power increase (square-rooted only). − * {{Star}}'''+6''' : The point when failures start to kick in and costs take a jump. − * {{MaxStar}} : The final step to maximize upgrade bonuses. − − =Screw Guaranteeing/Saving= − In most cases, it is statistically cheaper to either toggle or not the "guaranteed improvement". − − Reminder : − {|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" style="margin:auto" − !Modification Level − ! 1★!! 2★!! 3★!! 4★!! 5★!! 6★!! 7★!! 8★!! 9★!!

cost is too high, not guaranteeing the upgrade is on average cheaper screw-wise, but this is not counting any potential equipment that may be lost and so may imply a higher screw cost. − − Guaranteeing worthiness per base upgrade screw cost can then be defined as followed: − <tabber> − |-|General rules= − When upgrading any equipment, Devmats and Screw are consumed, and eventually one or several equipment and consumables. − *Since obtaining Devmats is not an issue, their cost is simply ignored. − *Since failing an upgrade does not consume any consumables, they are ignored. − *For equipment consumed : − **If they are craftable or relatively easy to obtain, their cost is negligible in front of any screw cost. − **If the equipment consumed is a very rare one, then guaranteeing the upgrade should be evident. − **If the equipment consumed is itself made via Akashi's upgrades, '''then its total screw cost must be added to the base screw costs used in later examples. − |-|0= −
