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.
Why this is not a requirements database
The official overview verifies the system counts and structure, but this site has not independently maintained a complete patch-versioned map of every attribute threshold. Unknown requirements remain unknown instead of being copied from a third-party table.
Requirements collection contract
A future Badge record must store Badge name, discipline, tier, required attribute, threshold, height or position constraints, game version, source class, verification method and last-checked date together. A value is not publishable when any eligibility field is missing or cannot be rechecked in the current Builder.
Why the Badge Finder remains on hold
A Finder would turn incomplete thresholds into authoritative-looking answers. It stays held until all 53 records can be maintained under the same versioned collection contract; a competitor table is not an independent source.
