Luck upgrades first

Lucky Charm tier purchases reduce trap frequency and boost jackpots. Fortune Fingers and Jackpot Aura follow in mid-game. Blessed Hands caps late luck scaling. Skipping this tree is the most common beginner mistake.

Scratch Power and area

Sharp Nails and Steel Grip widen manual scratch paths. Invest after Luck tier one and two. One-Stroke Master is a late luxury for manual players.

Automation and multipliers

Auto Scratcher capacity helps once Scratch Bot is online. Reward multipliers dominate late math when bankruptcy risk is controlled. Quality-of-life nodes include shortcuts that speed desk management.

Standard vs permanent upgrades

Standard upgrades reset on prestige. Jack Point permanent tree upgrades persist — consult the prestige guide before ignoring JP nodes.
