Tier-list questions
What is the best defense in Build a Base RNG?
The best next defense is the role missing at your first failure point. A universal named-item winner cannot be verified without current official stats.
Why does this tier list rank roles instead of items?
Complete current item stats, upgrade scaling and boss matchups were not published by the creator sources checked. Role priorities remain useful without pretending those values are known.
What should I prioritize for offline fighting?
A stable middle layer, cleanup coverage and core protection are the safest tests because you cannot manually correct a leak while away.
