Notes

  • The first and second rows should complement each other in terms of easy/hard, early/late, better/worse for a certain race.
  • The Temporary and Permanent buffs bestowed by a given Upgrade should also complement each other. The temporary buff should be the more complex of the two, as that is the one with the reminder icon in the Runner's Command Card.
