Documented route
The reviewed community route shows Deer with Dagger → Lightning Dagger → Lightning's Wrath.
Magic Engineering, Storm Cloud, Companion and Guardian appear as support families across the reviewed route and variant.
Safe scaling order
Make Electric application repeatable
Confirm that the weapon loop applies the intended status often enough in ordinary rooms and boss windows.
Add uptime and safety
Use Guardian or another available defensive layer if close-range commitment causes the route to collapse.
Scale critical effects last
Critical chance and damage improve a working engine; they do not repair an engine that rarely triggers.
Support-package choices
Magic Engineering
Use only when the current pieces visibly reinforce the Electric loop.
Storm Cloud
Compare real activation and room coverage instead of relying on a name match.
Companion
Treat companion support as a variant and measure its contribution separately.
Guardian
Choose it when defense increases the time you can safely maintain Dagger pressure.
Evidence boundary
The exact Talent split, final inventory, duplicate requirements and difficulty-60 performance are not completely documented. The route and support-family names are player-reported, not official balance guidance.

What should be prioritized first?+
Make Electric application consistent before investing heavily in critical scaling.
