Highest-Impact CP Sources
The sheet gives actual comparison numbers, which makes the priority order much clearer than vague “upgrade everything” advice.
Stellar Archive
The source shows the biggest single visible jump in the tab:
- equipping a late-game Stellar Archive setup can add roughly 7,005 CP
Gear
Gear is the next massive breakpoint:
- equipping Tier 2 boots, necklace, and ring at +15 adds roughly 6,973 CP
- pushing a full Tier 2 set to +15 adds roughly 9,370 CP
- adding engraving on top pushes that to about 10,074 CP
The exact numbers will move by character and account state, but the ranking is still useful: real gear progression dwarfs many smaller upgrades.
Medium-Impact Upgrades
These are still important, but they do not spike as hard as major gear or archive jumps.
- Resonance: the sheet shows a 423 CP increase from level 4 to 5 in its sample
- Character level: about 51 CP per level around level 170
- Skill levels: even a Basic skill bump from 3 to 4 was measured at 125 CP
- Limit break and Stellar Sigils: these are meaningful and compound over time
Low-Impact Upgrades
The tab also points out upgrades that matter, but not in the same way:
- Affection grows CP, but modestly in the sample shown
- Tactical Analysis can contribute, but the sheet treats it more cautiously and even flags one section for verification
That does not make these bad systems. It just means they are not where you should expect the biggest immediate spike if you are trying to cross a power threshold today.
Recommended Order
Based on the source tab’s own sample numbers, the cleanest priority ladder is:
- Finish meaningful gear upgrades first.
- Push Stellar Archive once your account can support it.
- Keep Resonance, levels, and important skill breakpoints moving steadily.
- Treat affection and Tactical Analysis as supportive, not primary, CP engines.
If you are not sure what gear targets to aim for next, use the Gear Guide together with the Build Index.
