Akashi's greed
The goal is to set up some tabs to identify where it is statistically cheaper to toggle or not the guarateed improvement.
Reminder :
| Modification Level | 1★ | 2★ | 3★ | 4★ | 5★ | 6★ | 7★ | 8★ | 9★ | Max★ | Upgrade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akashi | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 95% | 90% | 80% | 77% | 72% | 60% | 50% |
| Akashi Kai | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 95% | 90% | 82% | 77% | 67% | 62% |
Average screw cost when not guaranteed, assuming Akashi is Kai and not counting any equipment cost :
Screw cost difference when guaranteed :
As expected, when the guaranteed 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.

There is only one equipment with a base brut screw cost above 15 (the SK Radar), and as every equipment consuming expensive "Akashi exclusive" or rare equipment, the average screw cost is less important that the raw cost, meaning that guaranteeing the upgrade is always worth it
