Opening-offering note
Ancient offerings should be judged before the deck has normal relic context. The best offering is the one that makes the first route safer or more profitable without adding a downside the current character cannot absorb.

- Score the offering by first-route safety before long-run ceiling.
- Record the downside before ranking an offering highly.
- Compare the choice against first-shop, first-elite, and first-boss needs.
When to take a risk
Riskier offerings are better when the map gives time to stabilize or when the character already covers the downside. If the first route is hostile, a boring stable option can be correct.
