Should you reroll for Vampire Squid?
Reroll only after your money route can recover the shard cost. If you are still using codes to patch basic progression, use the tier list as a stop-limit tool rather than a command to keep rolling forever.
Vampire Squid decision notes
Who should keep it
Vampire Squid is worth keeping when its role matches the content you are doing today. If your route, money loop or quest blocker benefits from sustain and deep-route consistency, replacing it too quickly can slow your account more than it helps.
Who should wait
New accounts should wait before chasing any specific race. Codes can create a temporary shard surplus, but progression still depends on oxygen, gear consistency and repeatable money routes.
Comparison mindset
Compare Vampire Squid against races with a similar job, not against every rare race in the game. A race that wins deep-route consistency may lose pure money farming, and that is normal.
Evidence standard
Exact passive numbers and balance changes should be updated only when they are checkable. The first version focuses on spend decisions and player outcomes because those are stable enough to guide real choices.
