Every purchase in order, components included — a tier 4 is built, not bought. The arrow marks a step that upgrades something already bought.

The current patch doesn't have enough games yet, so these builds also include games from before it — unlike the tier list above.

Phantom+, 2026-09-06 to 2026-09-20. Each item measured against players who reached the same minute with the same souls and spent them on something else.
