Each guide explains the skill first. The loadout at the end lists gear that matches it, at three price points.

  1. 01We don't claim hands-on testing. Picks are examples, not reviews.
  2. 02Links are affiliate links and marked as sponsored. We may earn a commission, but your price doesn't change.
  3. 03Each product page lists every shop we track, with live prices.
