Mod Analyzer Changelog

v1.8

June 11, 2026

New Lock a character's mods so the tool leaves them alone. Hit the lock button on any character in the list, or in their detail panel, and they drop out of the swap plan, wasted speed, mod fixes, and the recommender. Built for the toons you never want to touch, like your raid or meta teams. Saved per ally code and carries across every analyzer page. Unlock any time.
New Mod recommendations now come from what top players actually run. The headline pick is the most common choice among the top Kyber GAC players' real mods, and every slot shows the full spread, like "84% Protection, 7% Crit Damage". Instead of flagging your mods wrong, the tool shows the distribution and lets you decide. Your current primary is highlighted.
Improve This replaces the old hand-maintained list behind the off recommendations some of you flagged (Malak on health instead of protection, JML defaulting to a speed arrow). The open-source Grandivory/MCW77 optimizer build is now just a fallback when there isn't enough top-player data.
Improve Softened the per-mod primary flag from "want X" to "meta: X". It's a guideline, not a rule.
Improve The swap plan now states up front that it's a manual guide you follow in-game. The tool reads and suggests, it never changes your mods.

April 19, 2026

New User-controlled priority ordering on the swap plan page — pin characters, drag to reorder, and the plan is re-run with your preferences. Saved per ally code in local storage.
