How to plan survivor upgrades
Read survivor progress as star.tier
Survivor states are written as star.tier. A survivor at 2.4 is four tiers into the 2-star band, and the next paid step is 3.0. Enter your current state and the target state to see the total resources for that jump.
Keep unlock cost separate
Unlocking a survivor costs 10 shards, but that cost is separate from the upgrade path. When you calculate from 0.0, the tool shows that unlock note without adding it to the shard total.
