Decide S or SS before spending materials
The first decision is whether the copy in front of you is worth SS resources. Cyclone9's Psyber has no trait and no mutations, so he evolves at S and saves purple plates for a stronger pet later.
- Use S when the first copy is mainly a breeding setup.
- Consider SS first when the Psyber already has a strong trait, mutations, or account-defining stats.
- Do not let a new-event rush force rare-resource spending on a weak copy.
