Is Betrayal Thread Worth Using?

Use a Betrayal Thread when you want to add Syndicate encounters and their related rewards to a Map. The modifiers can make the area more rewarding, especially if you are looking for Veiled items or want to fight the additional Catarina encounter. Some effects also increase danger, so prepare for stronger Rare enemies and the possibility of an extra boss-like fight.

Because the Thread’s modifiers vary, check its effects before using it. That helps you decide whether the added encounters and rewards suit your build and goals.
