Checks before choosing an upgrade

Open descriptions for currently equipped weapons/abilities and read activation conditions.
Choose one attack you use often and prioritize effects that work with it.
If you cannot confirm a build's effects activate, do not judge power by simply adding multipliers.
Review healing and gear before a boss and avoid plans requiring unlearned abilities.

Avoid confusing terms

Read case-resolution Banish separately from combat moves or gauges according to where it appears. Case banishment counts cannot simply become weapon-upgrade requirements or resurrection materials.

Old entries such as spirit-talisman traps, chain claws, and possession were removed because their current in-game names and effects could not be matched.
