How to use Backup in a run
Backup effects make the sixth roster slot valuable. Compare that passive contribution against fielding the hero directly.
- Check the trigger condition.Range, Crit, cast, target, Rush, Stall, and quest requirements decide whether the effect appears at all.
- Check the first application.Timing can matter more than the final stack count, especially against an opening threat.
- Separate trigger from amplifier.Confirm the team can create the effect before buying equipment that only improves it.
