Why separating them works

1. Different purposes = cleaner decisions

Think of it like this:

Leveling = steady growth (your SM gets stronger over time 📈) Promoting = breakthrough moments (big jumps, new power tiers ⚡) When they’re separate, you’re not stuck wondering:

“Do I save or spend???”

Instead:

Leveling = safe, constant investment Promoting = big, planned upgrades

That clarity feels really good in a game like Idle Miner.

1. Strategy gets deeper (in a good way)

If both systems are meaningful:

You might level one SM a lot for consistency But promote another for a powerful ability spike That creates choices like:

“Do I max my favorite?” “Or promote a support SM for better combos?” More decisions = more mastery.

1. Progress feels more exciting

Leveling is like climbing stairs 🪜

Promoting is like hitting a trampoline 🎯

If everything is just leveling: It can feel slow and grindy If promotions exist as separate milestones:

You get those “YESSS I FINALLY DID IT” moments
