Each row is a spec's best build on this fight (hover its name for the build; the name opens its page). Benchmark rows are the matrix's searched setups on each build's best race, 5,000 iterations each. Rows marked “mine” are your own runs from this browser, which take their build's place when they score better on this simulator.
