Before spending Gear Scraps, Alloy duplicates, or Reforge Hammers in Tiles Survive!!, decide which equipment you plan to keep. The supplied guidance names these resources as easy to waste, but it does not establish exact costs, upgrade thresholds, or which gear is best.
Decide what to keep before upgrading
Check your inventory and identify the equipment you intend to invest in before committing materials. The draft advises against spending on gear you expect to replace, but it does not provide criteria for identifying the strongest gear or a specific upgrade milestone.
Treat each resource as a separate decision
The draft associates Alloy duplicates with star-leveling and Reforge Hammers with re-rolling gear. It also describes Gear Scraps as upgrade materials. Those uses are supplied details, not independently verified mechanics, and the available information does not specify the costs or results of each action.
Use that distinction to avoid spending automatically: pause before using duplicates or Hammers, and check the in-game details for the cost and outcome. The source does not support a particular hero priority, reserve amount, or upgrade order.

This helped me understand resources much better.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about resources in a future update?
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
