How Chad Optimizer works

Transparent formula, public API, community-verified data. Built so ABI players can stop guessing what to bring to a raid and start arguing about which top-10 kit is the right call.

Transparent

Every weight, every multiplier, every formula sits in lib/optimizer/score.ts and lib/optimizer/weights.ts. No hidden coefficients. No black-box ranking.

Mode-aware

Normal, Lockdown, Forbidden each weigh the 5 sub-scores differently. Forbidden punishes expensive kits more (no insurance). Normal rewards value (low stakes).

Reusable

Public read-only API at /api/v1/kits and /api/v1/decode. Discord bot uses the same endpoints. Build your own overlay or analyzer on top.

Community-verified

Stats sourced from the Fandom wiki + community testing; admin-curated weekly price snapshots. Pull requests welcome.

Mode weights — visualized

Each row is a stacked bar showing how a single Chad Score is composed for that mode. Drag the live sliders on /score to feel the difference.

Optimizer search

Greedy top-K candidates per slot (default K=5) → Cartesian assemble (5⁷ ≈ 78,125 combos) → score, reject combos exceeding the budget cap, sort by Chad Score DESC. Tiebreak: cost ASC → mobility DESC → name ASC. Sub-second on Vercel for any (mode, zone, playstyle, budget).

pre-filter items by cost ≤ (budget / 7) × 1.5  // per slot
score top-5 candidates per slot                 // greedy
cartesian assemble 5^7 ≈ 78k combos             // exhaustive on the funnel
reject combos exceeding budget                  // hard ceiling
score each, sort DESC by chadScore              // ranking
return top 10 with full sub-score breakdown
