Bear Hunt
Rally Leader: Mechanics Incomplete. Rally Joiner: Mechanics Incomplete. Only effects listed in role coverage execute numerically.
PvP attack / rally
No safely classified local effect establishes this mode's value.
PvP defense / garrison
At least one source-recorded, classified mechanic is relevant to this mode.
Arena
Exploration mechanics come from a public fan-maintained reference. They may inform provisional Arena evidence, but cannot drive a definitive investment recommendation.
General Expedition / PvE
At least one source-recorded, classified mechanic is relevant to this mode.
