Buckler Ironclad
Buckler Ironclad is the kind of target you pick only when the run can genuinely afford a real Ironclad fight.
Medium Danger Sentinel Waves is the sentinel fight that starts costing real extract margin if the crew enters it low on ammo, hull, or time.
Medium Danger Sentinel Waves is where a routine sentinel check can start turning into a real run problem. This tier only feels worth taking when the crew still controls ammo, Trampler position, and extract timing well enough to finish the fight without throwing the whole run away. If any of those three are already slipping, bypassing usually feels like the smarter call.
It appears through enemy spawns or sentinel wave pressure during Sophie runs.
Buckler Ironclad is the kind of target you pick only when the run can genuinely afford a real Ironclad fight.
Falchion Ironclad is an extraction-risk enemy, so the real question is not whether you can hurt it but whether killing it still leaves a run worth extracting.
High Danger Sentinel Waves are fights you take for a reason, not by default, because they can burn the same ammo and repair margin you still need to extract.
Living Sand is the sand creature that forces a siege-weapon check, so the first question is whether your Trampler can even hurt it before you decide to stand and fight.
Living Sand Jr is the low-end sand creature you can clear with normal weapons, so the real question is whether it is worth the delay rather than whether you can damage it at all.
Low Danger Sentinel Waves is the sentinel fight you clear when the route is stable, not the one worth burning a shaky extract plan over.
Tophelm Ironclad starts making sense as a fight only when the crew can spend the ammo, time, and Trampler position without ruining extraction afterward.
Upior is the kind of creature you judge by extraction cost first: if the fight burns too much ammo or positioning, skipping it is usually the better call.
The fight feels worth taking only while the crew still controls the run. Medium danger is where a clean clear is possible, but only if ammo, hull, and positioning are not already slipping.
This is the tier where chasing the kill can quietly cost extraction. If the Trampler is already taxed, leaving the wave behind usually preserves more than forcing the fight.
Yes, when the crew can clear it without giving up the ammo, hull condition, or route timing needed to reach extract afterward.
Bypassing is better when ammo, repairs, fuel, route timing, or Trampler position already look unstable. Medium danger is where a forced fight starts costing the whole run.
