Determine the best value upgrade

The first step to saving points on the Clamps Badge is to determine the best value upgrade. To do this, we need to find a sequence that can be repeated uniformly to see how the badge reacts. After testing, we found that the sweet spot is silver. You will still get a boost up to the Hall of Fame, but it's not as much as silver. So if you're looking to save points, put it in the silver tier badge.

 

Understand the relation of strength and Clamps Badge

Strength also plays a role in getting cut-off animations as a defender. Our tests show that one Clamps Badge upgrade is equal to around 20 points of strength. This means that putting one Clamps Badge can boost your cutoff chances just as much as 20 points of strength can do.

 

Save points by prioritizing Clamps Badge over Strength

Based on the relationship between strength and Clamps Badge, it is more cost-effective to prioritize Clamps Badge over strength. This means that instead of investing in strength, you can save points and put them into upgrading your Clamps Badge instead.

 

Final thoughts

In summary, the sweet spot for the Clamps Badge upgrade is silver, and one Clamps Badge upgrade is equal to 20 points of strength. By prioritizing the Clamps Badge over strength, you can save points and still get the benefits of being a great defender. So if you're looking to save points and maximize your Clamps Badge, this guide has given you the information you need. Happy gaming!
