Team Upgrade and Enemy Upgrade pads are visible at the bases. Confirm which team's offer you are reading before you pay. An upgrade does not replace coordination: stronger bars still need someone watching them, extra reach does not collect a downed opponent, and speed does not tell a carrier which base is home.
An October 3, 2026 balance note labels the numbers below as September 2026 Tier 1 preview examples. Use your current pad for the offer, price, currency, and affected stat. Later tiers, prices, and whether an upgrade carries over were not published as a fixed chart.
Three directions that were previewed
| Direction | September 2026 Tier 1 example | Problem to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Jail HP | 500 HP to 575 HP | Bars are repeatedly breached while people are already defending |
| Bat range | 8 to 9 studs | Opponents stay just beyond your swing |
| Speed | 24 to 26 | Pursuit or positioning is the delay |
Use the examples to compare what each stat changes. Increasing maximum jail health is different from repairing damage. If a section is losing health now, somebody still has to answer that attack. Extra durability changes the health limit. It does not stop an unattended wall.
If defenders are already covering sections and the cage is still under sustained pressure, compare the current HP offer. Ask a teammate to keep watching the bars while you read the pad. After you buy, read the affected stat or health display and keep the same defensive routine.
Range and speed are fight checks
Range matters when opponents remain beyond your melee reach. Before you pay, notice whether that is why the fight failed. Chasing alone into several opponents is a support problem even if the bat reaches farther.
Speed relates to pursuit and positioning. Check whether a bad route, a contested crossing, or an unprotected carrier is the real delay. The upgrade cannot choose the transport path.
Change one thing, then try the same task again. That makes it easier to tell whether the stat helped.
Read the currency icon and the live price. Gold coins and green cash are separate displays. Do not convert one into the other, and do not assume a Robux product listing is the same purchase. Read any duration or persistence wording on the current offer before you plan around the upgrade in a later round.
If prisoners keep escaping because nobody repairs, fix that coverage before you spend on HP. The coins guide separates the two balances.
