How this analysis is done

We aggregate complete top-player loadouts instead of taking one isolated popular item per slot. That keeps trinket pairs, embellishments, tier count, and stat shape tied to real character builds.

• Tier is shown as a 2pc/4pc bonus distribution, not five independent slots.
• Trinkets and embellishments are aggregated as the equipped pair.
• Every option shows a % of analyzed players with low-signal picks filtered out.
• Items are de-duplicated, and item level is shown as a range.
