Practical use
Use this stat as part of a build plan. Check your ship class, favorite weapons, shield timing, map goals and resource needs before deciding what to improve.
If a weapon or shield page says it ignores a stat or uses a different scaling stat, prioritize the stat that item actually uses.
FAQ
Should I stack this stat first?
Stack Dodge first only when your ship, items and activity benefit from it. Otherwise, balance it with survival, timing and utility.
Where do I check exact item usage?
Use the Weapon and Shield articles for item-specific scaling, then return here to understand the stat itself.
