Explanation
How to interpret this page
Why the slot count matters
The decision is not only which Badges sound strongest. A build must fit desired creation-tier Badges into entered discipline budgets.
What Badge Tokens change
Known token costs can be added to the planner, while unknown costs stay unknown. Missing cost never becomes zero.
How Synergy fits
Fuse and Reaction Synergy add a later combination layer with 16 slots. Legend can be noted as a target but is excluded from creation-budget arithmetic.
