Gate Health Upgrades
If the gate falls, the run ends. Health upgrades are the cleanest way to stop early collapses while you are still building damage around them.

Why it lands here
Gate Health Upgrades matters because it changes how often your base survives the moment things go wrong. In a defense game, the best priorities either stabilize the gate or make every turret cycle matter more.
Recommended use: push this sooner if it fixes a real weakness in your current setup, delay it if a more basic defensive layer is still missing, and avoid panic-spending into it just because a run feels shaky.
