Rarity rules
Stars shape the power roll
Rarity, weapon level, and + rank are separate progression layers. Do not use the star count as shorthand for all three.
One grade-1 power in the documented pattern.
One grade-2 power in the documented pattern.
Documented combinations include grade 2 + grade 1 or grade 3 + grade 1.
Launch guides report three special-effect powers; exact English slot terminology still needs capture.

Build logic
Look for interactions, not just bigger numbers
Freeze → Freeze Breaker
Freeze can stop a Salmonid; Freeze Breaker then deals triple weapon damage to a frozen target and removes the status.
Fermentation → Explosion
Fermentation increases damage taken, while Fermentation Explosion turns a weapon defeat on that target into a small blast.
Sear → Ignition
Sear stacks damage over time. Ignition can spread Sear from an affected target to nearby Salmonids.
These are effect interactions, not universal “best build” rankings. Proc rate, weapon fire pattern, enemy density, and the rest of the roll all affect practical value.
