Each emblem in Tarisland has randomly generated (RNG) perks that you gain as you upgrade your emblem. Some perks, like +12 Stamina or +1 ATT, are not very beneficial, so you might need to upgrade multiple emblems of the same type to get a “good” one.

Key Perks to Focus On:

1. +50% Stat Increases: This perk boosts a nearby Stat node by 50%, significantly enhancing your overall stats.
2. +1 Emblem Level: This increases the power of the emblem by 1, making your emblem more effective.

To maximise your build, aim to upgrade emblems that have only these two types of bonuses. By focusing on these perks, you can ensure that your tank build is as powerful and efficient as possible.
