POLICY

Editorial policy

We inspect public pages, patch notes, developer files and independent gameplay uploads on the check date shown. Official code and the same author’s itch.io listing count as one publisher, even when several URLs agree. Official-only roster and rule figures are explicitly single-source. Reproducible counts are calculations from those public files, not an independent confirmation or a claim of match experience.

Opinion pages (tier list, best picks, mode tips, the review) start with the words Editorial opinion and the method. They do not use the word official for a ranking.

Questions

What counts as checked?

Two independent public sources that say the same thing. One source is labeled as one source. A contradiction stays on the page as a contradiction.

Do you play the game to verify?

Pages are checked from public pages, videos, and files. A sentence is not held back because nobody queued a match. Personal match stories are not invented.
