Stratagem ↔ Vigilance Calculator

Each Stratagem gives you a pre-battle bonus — but raises enemy Vigilance. Higher Vigilance means tougher enemies in later encounters. This tool helps you decide: is the bonus worth the cost?

⚠️ Planning model. The Stratagem-Vigilance mechanic is verified from developer previews and reviews. Specific Stratagem effects and Vigilance costs are estimated — use as a planning framework, not exact numbers.
