The Alliance provides more benefits while taking up fewer slots.
So, as you put it, what if... there's only this available, meaning you can't choose anything else...? I'm not arguing that the Alliance is good, but each one is good in its own way...
Yep. When you learn to disassemble and reassemble artifacts in the middle of a battle, I'll give you a medal.
And what does that have to do with teaching? I'm just saying, think before the battle about what will be more useful at that particular moment.
