SHORT ANSWER
Start with the relics that repeat your main event
For this route, a relic is strong when its trigger is already alive. A Legendary frame cannot rescue a condition the build never meets.
Load the relic package in PlannerRelic priority for Jester Crit Window
Critical package; stronger once the run already supports crit.
Core signal: take it when the route can trigger it now.
Reload support for loops broken by reload gaps.
Support signal: take it after the core loop is stable.
Judge a relic in three questions
- How often does the trigger happen? Reload, firing, skill use, embarkation, and dismantling create very different amounts of coverage.
- What does it pay for? Keep the relic when the payoff strengthens the route's damage, survival, economy, or missing room coverage.
- What slot does it replace? A conditional relic that blocks a reliable fix is costing more than its tooltip admits.
Take the next trigger multiplier or damage payoff only after your main event is frequent enough to use it.
Take Constant Luck, reload support, and reliable weapon damage; let Jester be a safe sustained route until the window is proven.
Tarot and weapon checks before locking the slot
The route is not complete until the relics agree with the weapon element, Tarot rule, and Hunter skill order. Review the current Jester route before treating this as a fixed shopping list.
