Sources & methodology

BestBuild combines source-linked game references, original explanations and optional calculators. Badges on game cards distinguish calculators, item catalogs and guides.

Guide coverage

Information hubs summarize the linked references for each game. They may cover one edition, expansion or selected systems. A hub does not establish complete coverage of every item or patch. Pages with only a name and a small number of stats are kept out of search indexes until they have more useful information.

How explanations are prepared

GPT-6 Luna drafts explanations from supplied game facts and readable references. A separate source-alignment review checks those drafts. This is not independent gameplay testing or a current meta ranking. Exact supported costs, prerequisites, shared inventory, mod capacity and anvil combinations are calculated in code.

Dates and sorting

Entity lists put documented game additions first. Introduction versions are shown when exact dates are unavailable. Undated reference items sort A–Z. Article review dates do not become game release dates.

Artwork and attribution

Game artwork and trademarks remain the property of their publishers. Software licenses do not relicense game art. Artwork references appear on item pages.

Licenses and corresponding source

The StarRailRes data subset retains its AGPL-3.0 notice. Application code, normalization scripts and the modified factual data are provided in the source archive. Third-party artwork is distributed separately from that archive; its manifests and restoration script are included.
