Pressure in reading growth routes and qualification conditions.

View all bottlenecks

Design direction

Reorder growth states, qualifications and resource gaps into current and next actions, reasons and details, preserving existing quantities, eligibility, rewards, resource supply and the economy.

Summon Servants and Craft Essences → build a party and enter story, event, or challenge quests → select Command Cards, skills, and Noble Phantasms in turn-based combat → spend AP to farm QP, EXP, and materials → level, ascend, skill, Grail, and equip Servants → unlock more story and event goals → summon or reinvest and battle again.

Decision and Planning Calculability Breakdown

The affected flow runs through growth-view → unlock/resource → first-use/result; its limiting point is the growth economy planning handoff.

Multiple goals, resources, states, rules, and paths cannot be compared on one decision surface, forcing repeated reprioritization.
