Power Score Guide
The one number that folds your whole account — what feeds it and how to raise it efficiently.
What it is
Power Score folds every permanent bucket — genome upgrades, tower stars, hero stars, gene levels, equipment, collections, prestige — plus your live run’s temporary buffs into one comparable number. Screens that gate content (campaign recommendations, daily readiness) speak in Power.
Raising it efficiently
Early: genome upgrades and tower stars dominate. Mid: equipment sets and gene leveling take over. Late: prestige nodes and deep collections. When a recommendation says you are underpowered, the fastest patch is usually the cheapest unbought genome tier, not a lucky drop.
What Power does NOT measure
Power is a readiness index, not a skill score. It cannot see your placement discipline, your draft synergy, or whether your build answers the wave composition in front of it — which is why an underpowered, well-played run routinely clears content a lazier, richer account bounces off. Treat a Power gap under ten percent as a suggestion; treat a gap over thirty as physics. In between, the run belongs to whoever plays it.
